More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Getting Real details the business, design, programming, and marketing principles of 37signals. The book is packed with keep-it-simple insights, contrarian points of view, and unconventional approaches to software design. This is not a technical book or a design tutorial, it's a book of ideas. Anyone working on a web app - including entrepreneurs, designers, programmers, executives, or marketers - will find value and inspiration in this book. 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). Over 500,000 people around the world use these applications to get things done. Now you can find out how they did it and how you can do it too. It's not as hard as you think if you Get Real.

Had the authors not just published "ReWork", then I would have given this 5 stars.
However, having just read the two books back-to-back, I would say that "ReWork" includes pretty much all the key points from Getting Real, plus more material.
If you've not read ReWork, buy it instead of this one.
If you have just read ReWork, don't particularly expect to learn additional things from Getting Real.

So this is just a tipoff -- don't buy Getting Real if you already have read and own Rework.
I love Rework, I've read it 2.5 times and I'm telling my friends about it .... so it was disappointing to find that Getting Real is basically the older version of the same book.
So keep reading and using Rework - but save your money
PS ... if you're trying to decide which is better ... then buy Rework

Good book - great tips that advise you to concentrate of the most important things of both your work ethic and your business ethic - concentrate of the stuff that must be done rather thann all the other stuff that would be nice in the long run but are not necessary things that are important and considered a waste of time. Like the tips on how to organise your coding as well as how to organise your work prioritise. Would also recommend the otgher book REWORK as I also found that really good.Would happily recommend this to anyone.

So inspiring, I'm building a business off the back of it
Was recommended this book by a friend who actually presented on the concepts at a conference. It's inspired me to say the least - Jason Fried has put into words all of the things... Read more
