How to Product
Book information
Description
How to Product reintroduces the title of Product Manager by focusing on traits that best characterize those in the role. The book shares stories of individuals with unique academic backgrounds (ex. Philosophy, Cinema Studies, Photography, and others) who have broken into the tech industry for the first time. Through a variety of interviews conducted with present-day Product Managers, the book highlights the variety of challenges these individuals faced in securing their first product role. It draws out helpful themes from the interviews and presents similar ideas to those looking to transition into a product role. How to Product aims to simulate the experience of sitting across Product Managers from Google, Shopify, Coursera and others to learn about the crucial steps they took that led to their current roles. Starting with their educational background and going through different roles held across their careers before gaining the confidence to pursue a product-related role. The book dives into the effective ways of gaining knowledge about product development and shares tips to inspire candidates to form their strategies since there is no linear path to becoming a Product Manager.

It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
