drawingLançamento do meu livro pela Casa do Código! Ao contrário do que se pensa, mestrado e doutorado não é somente pra quem quer ser acadêmico. Nesse livro dou uma atenção especial a quem atua na indústria e tem vontade de fazer um mestrado/doutorado. Falo sobre estratégias para conciliar esses dois mundos e mais outro tanto de coisas que tive que viver na pele, como alguém que tem o pé na academia e na indústria.
