Into the book
By studying this book, you will be able to understand most of the English words and expressions used in developer English, and establish a foundation for basic English communication required in software development practice.
However, theoretical learning and memorization are only the beginning of learning developer English.
To improve your English skills, you need to repeatedly experience and correct mistakes while actually using English.
In other words, beyond learning through this book, it is most important to expose yourself to everyday life communicating in English.
In addition, we need to have an attitude of not being afraid of mistakes and continuing to try.
When you have a conversation in English, you may feel intimidated when the other person doesn't understand what you're saying.
To overcome this, you need to practice speaking confidently and clearly while strengthening your stomach.
Even if your grammar is wrong or your pronunciation isn't fluent, every attempt will be a step toward improving your English skills.

Publisher's Review
English is no longer an option for developers, it's a must!
From developer vocabulary and terminology to IT-specific English expressions and business email writing techniques! Practical IT English you can use right away! The author, who worked as a software engineer in Korea for seven years before moving to Boston in 2017 to pursue a freelance developer and a master's degree in computer science, shares his personal experience studying IT English and his know-how.
It presents the reasons and goals for developers to study English, as well as study methods and learning strategies tailored to each goal.
First, we'll look at the differences between general English and IT development English, then examine differences in vocabulary and terminology, grammar and sentence structure, and communication style.
It contains all the essential English for developers, including practical English, English expressions specific to IT development, business English, application to computer-related departments at overseas universities, and overseas employment.
Beta Review
I liked that both the words and examples were development-related sentences, so there were many practically useful expressions. In particular, I think it is a book that can be used as a dictionary by referring to it over and over again because each situation is well organized.
Dohyup Kim_Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
It contains content that developers need and are suitable for, to help them overcome the English language barrier, and it also includes information necessary for working abroad, so I think it will be helpful for those preparing for overseas job transfers or employment.
Chanseok Kang, LG Electronics Software Engineer
It clearly explains how developer English is different from regular English and provides directions for learning and using it, which felt like a refreshing scratch to the parts of me that had been itching for a while.
Moon Joo-young, Web Front-End Developer
The biggest advantage is that it contains many development-related English expressions that can be used immediately in practice, and it also tells you how to translate those sentences into Korean.
Kim Ki-hoon_UJET
One of the most important things in learning English is 'practical use', and this part is well covered, so I think I can apply it right away in my actual work.
Park Min-geon, FE developer and master's and doctoral student at Kennesaw State University
Even if the meaning of a sentence is the same, you can use the expression more appropriately by explaining the differences in nuance.
