The End at Sixteen
Reading through the book sure was fun!
A new concept, never told by any instructors in school or elsewhere, and a pretty good one at that!
What I really liked about the book is how it was able to discuss everything, from execution, people, and software, in a manner as if you are just listening to a story teller. Reading it straight isn’t dull, doesn’t make you feel eventually bored, or lose interest. It’s a great book, and I believe it’s a book that pretty much justifies completely as to why Sir Dave recommended it in the first place.
Yes, the application of Getting Real is just not on Web Apps, the exemplification of the Navy Seals, the iPod, and other real life applications were pretty much a good way to support the book’s claims. Life isn’t about documentation or large-scale, long-planned projects. It’s about making things NOW, doing things NOW, and giving it NOW. Good people, excellent execution, and timely release makes a program click. And quite frankly, I would like to be able to create one that would just have all the variables essential for being able to accomplish one. Soon enough, soon enough, I’ll be pretty much a fanatic of a principle that defies formalities through endless documentations! I’ll be real, Getting Real!
