I think I need to revisit Getting Real by 37signals
I read a few years back when it was just released and if I had dependable search for my website (which is another story / blog post in itself) I could possibly point you to some of my previous thoughts on the book…
Regardless, Getting Real is all about simplifying the typical software project and lately a lot from what I remember from the book (reading it several years ago) has been popping back up into my mind based upon some current projects that I’m involved in.
A quote that I have carried with me from reading the book several years ago is in :
Innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It’s about saying NO to all but the most crucial features.
- Steve Jobs
You can buy Getting Real directly from 37signals at or read it online for free over at
I think this is going to be next on my reading list (after trying to wrap up some of these projects)… :)
