Getting Real by 37signals, Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson & Matthew Linderman Book Summary

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.

Great book, get it somewhere else. This book on Web application design is a classic, but its presentation in the iBookstore is pretty terrible. Fly-outs inline with the text, blank pages for no reason—even LINE BREAKS MID-WORD. The presentation is so jarring that it's difficult to follow and shows none of the attention to detail that is usually attributed to the authors. You'd think a book available for free online would be able to get it right for $12, but no.

Getting real. Really helped us take our project at www.surfsports.biz from what could have been a great big, time consuming platform to build and kept us focused on the core of our app. Our customer experience has become the core impetus for making changes to our code. Thanks 37signals and we look forward to keeping it real! -Jonathan Irvin, founder, Industry Trade Directories

Simple but necessary for beginners. It's really a good 101 book for starters. The introductions of the whole product deliver process are quite clear. All the freshman should read it before working.

Good book, bad ebook. Broken lines, broken formatting. Even language set incorrect, so iBooks dictionary does not work with this file. Very bad quality for $12 dollars.

A Must Read. Quality over quantity is the message for software companies and it applies equally to the content of this book as well. A compact wealth of great ideas for software developers, but more importantly a manifesto for any company that cares about quality, customer service and integrity. A message of ignoring user demands for ever increasing features, sticking to a set of core ideals, and being willing to expose your faults to the world is tough is tough love for most businesses in a competitive market. Use this book as your gut check every time you think more and bigger is better. This should be required reading for every college student and business executive who wishes to avoid the debacles of the last decade.

Great for designers and startups!. 37 Signals has done an exceptional job at laying out a formula for starting a web based business. This is a great read for undergraduates looking for a path to startup - those who want to focus on the code and not the business "stuff" typically associated with entrepreneurship.

When u know.... You do much less. Great book, great writing style, highly recommended to anyone building anything

Fantastic read!. Even if you don't intend on building an app or some sort of program, these lessons still apply!

Getting lucky is for losers, winners make their own luck. This book will teach you how to make your own luck. If you’re running a startup, finishing this book is urgent for you. Sully, The founder of voten.co

Gret reading. An amazing method for everything; not just for web apps. A must-read for any manager and entrepreneur.

Excellent. A must read.. As a newcomer to this field with no experience in software development but a eye for what a great app should and shouldn't have, this book has been inspirational and hugely motivational.

Brilliant. This book should be required reading for anybody that is looking to develop a web app and/or build a business around it. The ideas put forward in this book are really thought provoking and will really help you to focus on the things that matter when building your app. You should also read ReWork by the 37signals guys as that's a great book too.

Kicked off the cobwebs!. After almost five years of roller-coaster rides getting our products almost ready for launch, this book gave me the motivation and confidence to kick off the cobwebs and just commit to a date whatever the state. Bill Page CEO Team Service (UK), Ltd. www.teamservice.co.uk
