Review of 'Getting Real: The smarter, faster, easier way to build a successful web application' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A good quick read around product development practices. It was written in 2006, the PDF has been sitting in my ebooks folder for over 10 years. Amazingly, for a book about web development, released prior to the iPhone, it is still quite relevant and good pracitical advice.

The book did not provide me with anything earth shaking, especially if you've been doing app development for awhile; but it is good a collection of still sound principles and reasoning for modern development processes, and project management.
