Welcome to the real world
Yes, you are right. That’s what Morpheus says to Neo when he wakes up out of the matrix. And that’s what comes to my mind after reading “Getting Real” from 37Signals. Somewhere it’s revolutionary, somewhere it’s obvious, but puts all the puzzles in one place in a condensed and very understandable way. Plus the quotations from other authors / web developers / designers shows a big picture of how they managed to succeed in their work.
What makes this book great is also its style of writing. Chapters are short and concise. This reminds me of style of ones in Dan Brown’s “Da Vinci Code”, where chapters are very short so the story doesn’t get boring but becomes more interesting as you read it.
After all I’m really happy I read this book and I recommend it to all of you – even you don’t write software at all. So go and read it at 37Signals website or ask me for my paper copy.
