Getting Real - the book
I highly recommend the PDF book Getting Real by the 37signals guys. I’m not a Ruby or Rails user, but I really like what these guys are doing - I use my Basecamp almost daily. Great ideas abound! The book has some “common sense” stuff - but reiterating that never hurts since many people don’t use common sense! And I just really like their style. The book is a short 170 pages or so and a very quick read.
Also, if you didn’t listen to the Venture Voice podcast with Jason Fried of 37signals, check it out! 37signals’ James Buck was on Audible Ajax recently.
