Book about Launching and Running a Web Application
- jamesdeer 14y agoI've just skimmed through a preview copy. If you are running, or thinking about starting a SaaS business, it's a must read! Awesome job Garrett :)
- t0 14y agoLove the presentation
- nathanbarry 14y agoI read through the slide deck yesterday and loved it. There is a lot of good information in there. The personal touch makes it especially good.
- danso 14y agoNicely done, though it's more focused on launching a "web service/business"...yes, it's a business that consists of a web application, but the term in the title makes me think of it being a technical guide. One of the things that would be useful, for technical and non-technical founders, is a nitty-gritty checklist of all the things you have to think about when launching a web app. Everything from deciding on the framework, the database, the schema, to having a favicon, og-meta tags, non-Javascript degradability, and setting up Google Analytics and Webmaster.
- tnorthcutt 14y agoBig +1 on the detailed checklist. That would be hugely helpful, and probably quite popular.
- garrettdimon 14y agoThanks for the feedback. That's definitely part of the plan. While I'm not quite sure just how detailed it's going to get, I've started on a one-page checklist of the items that I talk about in the book.
- pknerd 14y agoWaiting for it! Thanks for our last email conversation!
- Geee 14y agoYour call to action could be more prominent (I didn't notice it at all at first, then went looking for it).
- KenL 14y agoExcellent deck.
- 13rules 14y agoLoved the presentation and looking forward to the book. Appreciate you taking the time away from your business to do this — it's nice to get an honest feel for how someone else has done it, mistakes made, and successes achieved. We need to share more like this among entrepreneurs — the Marc Andreessen quote about the entrepreneurial roller coaster of euphoria and doom is spot on.
