Product Review: Getting Real: The Smarter, Faster, Easier Way to Build a Successful Web Application Getting Real is an excellent book for anyone looking to build a successful web application. It provides practical advice and real-world examples that will help you get started on your journey. One of the things I love about this book is that it doesn't sugarcoat anything. The authors are brutally honest about what works and what doesn't, which helps you avoid wasting time on projects that won't succeed. They also provide actionable advice for how to improve your skills and increase your chances of success. Another great thing about Getting Real is the emphasis on building a minimum viable product (MVP). This means focusing on the core features of your application and launching it as soon as possible, rather than trying to build everything at once. By doing this, you can get feedback from users and iterate on your product based on their needs. Overall, Getting Real is a must-read for anyone looking to build a successful web application. It provides practical advice and real-world examples that will help you avoid common pitfalls and increase your chances of success.
