| Publisher Description: If you code apps, you deal with law each and every day, whether you know it or not. The Coder's Legal Guide presents an overview of the legal and business issues faced by software programmers.Developers are the backbone of the mobile industry, yet often have the lest legal support. This is unfortunate because in the App Era, legal concepts such as business structures, intellectual property and contracts have a profound impact on the success of an app and its publisher.In this guide, written by a former lawyer, developers will learn how those concepts can shape and influence their apps and help their businesses survive. Coders will be given a broad overview of how code and law work together in the App Era to create lasting value in their products.From forming a legal entity and protecting the company's valuable intellectual property to contracts with founders, employees and suppliers, the book encourages software programmers to see their creations as the bundle of legal rights they are. The book also gives an overview of lawsuits and how careful legal planning can assist with risk assessment and prevention.The Coder's Legal Guide is an essential tool for every software programmer, from solo indie coders to startups and growing companies. |
