37 Signals Getting Real - A fantastic read

Picked up the book Getting Real from the great and fast Lulu.com this week and devoured it this weekend. What a fantastic read....I only wish it was longer!

Everything in the book is worth taking on board, even if you only agree with a fraction of it.

Main Points I Learned:

Get your stuff out there! A full product with half the features is better than half a product!
Forget meetings and planning and worrying about features, go with your instinct, start the programming and test the water with REAL code.
Say no to feature requests - make features earn their right to be in your product. Learn to say NO to people.
Knowing what to leave out is more important to knowing what to put in to a product.
Forget the hype around frameworks and languages and tools. Go with what you know and use what you feel comfortable using, not what other people say you should use.

Anyway, I wont spoil it all, do yourself a favour and buy this book. It will do you good.
