DESCRIPTION:
Good, but Rework is Better Kevin Rohrbaugh Getting Real is 37signal's first, self-published book. It challenges a lot of what is often thought of as the status quo for building a company. If you're a fan of 37signals, you'll no doubt enjoy this book.As of March, 2010, however, they published Rework, which is very similar in nature to Getting Real, but updated and made more widely applicable (less references to web applications, etc). Much of the content in Getting Real is repeated and refined in Rework.Due to the duplicati. Five Stars Gil Gavriel Enlightening and practical in various fields, not only code. Five Stars Great book for start ups
Now you can find out how they did it and how you can do it too. The book is packed with keep-it-simple insights, contrarian points of view, and unconventional approaches to software design. 37signals used the Getting Real process to launch five successful web-based applications (Basecamp, Campfire, Backpack, Writeboard, Ta-da List), and Ruby on Rails, an open-source web application framework, in just two years with no outside funding, no debt, and only 7 people (distributed across 7 time zones). Anyone working on a web app - including entrepreneurs, designers, programmers, executives, or marketers - will find value and inspiration in this book. This is not a technical book or a design tutorial, it's a book of ideas. Getting Real details the business, design, programming, and marketing principles of 37signals. Over 500,000 people around the world use these applications to get things done. It's not as hard as you think if you Get Real.
