Text 26 Jun Every web app developer should read this book!

Getting real by 37 signals, read it online for free. I have been building web apps for 9 years and never have I found so much good advice in one place.

Each chapter lays out a part of a philosohy that will get you developing quickly and efficiently. Great advice includes:

  • Designing from the functional centre of a page outwards rather than building a framework and squeezing the functional inside
  • Getting the smallest functional implementation possible out there and live rather than making an app that does everthing before launch
  • Not setting long term deadlines

Brilliant, there’s a reason these are they guys who put ruby on rails.
