This quick guide to regular expressions is a condensed code and syntax reference for an important programming technique. It demonstrates regex syntax in a well-organized format that can be used as a handy reference, showing you how to execute regexes in many languages, including JavaScript, Python, Java, and C#.The Regex Quick Syntax Reference features short, focused code examples that show you how to use regular expressions to validate user input, split strings, parse input, and match patterns. Utilizing regular expressions to deal with search/replace and filtering data for backend coding is also covered. You won’t find any bloated samples, drawn out history lessons, or witty stories in this book. What you will find is a language reference that is concise and highly accessible. The book is packed with useful information and is a must-have for any programmer.What You Will LearnFormulate an expressionWork with arbitrary char classes, disjunctions, and operator precedenceExecute regular expressions and visualize using finite state machinesDeal with modifiers, including greedy and lazy loops Handle substring extraction from regex using Perl 6 capture groups, capture substrings, and reuse substrings Who This Book Is ForIf you have dealt with at least one programming language, chances are you know enough to understand regular expressions, and the examples in this book will help you develop proficiency.

As a software developer, your technical skill set is in high demand. Devices and technology have become an integral part of our everyday lives and no digital organization can thrive without technical professionals on the payroll. However, career plateaus are inevitable in even the most high-demand field. Companies do not only need software developers; they need software developers with soft skills.In Soft Skills to Advance Your Developer Career, author Zsolt Nagy explores how emotional intelligence can give your software development career an edge. These subjects are not taught in school, and unfortunately the career advancement of many excellent developers can be blocked by their inability to effectively communicate their needs, assert themselves, and negotiate confidently. Throughout this book, Nagy shows you how to actively improve and prioritize your soft skills so that you can better represent the holistic interests of your team, obtain better working conditions, negotiate raises, and increase your variety of employment options by elevating your interviewing skills.Discover the obstacles standing between you and a fulfilling career by finding and improving strengths you may not have even known you had. Jump out of your box with Soft Skills to Advance Your Developer Career and leverage your expertise with effortless confidence at all stages of your professional journey.What You Will LearnExamine why software developer careers cannot be treated similarly as any other career pathUnderstand the four soft-skills you need to advance your careerDevelop a strategy for your personal brand and align it with your career planRealize the role of assertive communication, and the importance of giving and receiving feedbackCreate a plan for setting yourself up for a raise or promotionDiscover techniques for acing the behavioral and coding interviewWho This Book Is ForSoftware developers who have the technical skills required for career advancement, but want a guide on how to manage their careers
