From YouTube: Soft Skills that Make a Great Software Developer by Wilson Anandaraj

Description

Software developers bring highly valuable skills and experience to an Organisation. Typically, software developers analyze customer needs and then develop and test software to meet those requirements. But, it is also vital for software developers to meet the needs and requirements of their co-workers. Gone are the days when the only expectations from developers were centered around their software development skills and technical skills. As the software industry becomes integrated with business, the expectations from developers evolve. Engaging in meaningful interactions and forming strong professional relationships is vital. That element of a developer’s professional life requires a range of soft skills. This talk will focus on: (i) the state of software development in today’s highly distributed work environment (ii) the challenges organisations and developers face (iii) the importance of soft skills for developers (iv) useful soft skills developers can build.
