Software developers face an ever-changing and ever-expanding technology landscape, which can appear as intimidating as Mt. Everest to newcomers. Developing technical skills is vital, but there are dozens of soft skills and learning techniques you need if you're to grow and succeed professionally. Honing those soft skills is a big part of what "Apprenticeship Patterns" is all about. Authors Dave Hoover and Adewale Oshineye, both formerly of the global IT consultancy ThoughtWorks, have cataloged dozens of patterns of behavior to help software developers hone their craft. Developed through years of research, a multitude of interviews, and feedback from O'Reilly's online forum, these patterns address difficult situations faced by entry-level programmers, system administrators, and database administrators. Each pattern has a memorable name to help point you in the right direction when you need it most. Examples of common obstacles and their solutions include: burned out at work? - learn how to 'Nurture Your Passion' by finding a pet project to help you rediscover the joy of problem solving; feeling overwhelmed by too much new information? - take a step back from your learning to re-explore some familiar territory by building something you've built before, then use 'Retreat Into Competence' to launch yourself forward again ; and, feeling stuck in your learning? - seek out a team of experienced and talented developers where you can 'Be the Worst' for a while Like any patterns book, you can read this one front-to-back, jump to specific patterns when you encounter the issues they address, or cherry pick just the ones that are new to you. The purpose of the solutions is to inspire you to stay on the path you intend, rather than wander off into management because it seems like the only option for advancement. "Apprenticeship Patterns" approaches software development not as a means to financial success, but as a means to personal fulfillment. It's your life and your career. Discover how this book can help you make the best of both.

读后感

就像一个经典的电影让人看完还能回味，就像一个美丽的回忆让人不愿丢弃在心的角落，就像一个古老的传说让人想永久追寻，这就是这本书。 作者将自己的奋斗之路写在了书中，愿与大家共勉。共同走过，生命中的点点滴滴！  

我本人掌握着公司的图书预算，大概每年8w吧，基本上市面上的技术图书或者和技术相关的图书我都算能“近水楼台先得月”。好的差的，都读过，但是书评写得很少，更是基本不会自己买技术图书来看。这本书看完以后的第一感觉就是我要自己买一本送给自己，还要买几本送给我的好朋友...  

该书很薄，不到200页。 在这短短的100多页中，作者阐述了软件学徒应该去追求的理想和目标，更难能可贵的是作者并只是给读者展示美好的愿景和诱人的终点，他们给我们制定了一份大家可以参考去执行的“路线图”。 有了这份路线图，我们在工作和生活的成长之路上，会少许多迷茫...  

首先内容还是比较实用的，从学徒期的方法，讲到熟练之后如果继续保持技艺精进。对于无论是新人，还是熟手，都有指导意义。 其次全书编排很有意思。软件开发都讲模式，全书都是以各种模式来定义一些软性技能，提出场景-问题-解决-参考也让人读起来条理感十足，跟GoF的设计模式...  

花了一个晚上快速地浏览了一遍，书中推崇的模式招招实用。首先要选一个好的学习环境和氛围，同道中人(Kindred Spirits)多且有人指导(Find Mentors) ，你就成功了一半。然后在漫漫长路(The Long Road)上坚持阅读(Read Constantly)不断实践(Practice, Practice, Practice)，并且...

最近读了很多类似的书籍。 阅读中体会到作者也是懂很多大脑思维科学的编程牛人，并且能把修炼的各种模式总结出来。很值得一读，书最后的参考书目也是不错的读书列表。

有些章节着实有用：空杯心态、实用比美观更重要、实践实践实践、建立反馈回路，需要有实际指导你改变当前行为的反馈指标。
