Book review: Getting Real

Posted in Book Review on August 17th, 2009 by Shane Gill3 Comments


37signals is one of those companies that you have to love. They’re a small business making kick ass web apps. They emanate a “no-bullshit” culture and give back bigtime. In fact, you can read this book for free (yes, the whole thing absolutely free) at http://gettingreal.37signals.com/.

Getting Real is a guide to creating a great software company with an emphasis on web development. It covers a huge range of topics including (but not limited to) hiring, marketing, design, development and productivity. It gives practical and philosophical advice so you come to understand the foundation of 37signals and then discover how to take action. It is one of the easiest reads ever (2-4 hours) so I would recommend you stop reading this dribble and get the book.
