By Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson
Yesterday I received my copy of Rework written by the gents at 37signals. So far the book is fabulous!
If you recall they wrote other books like: Getting Real: The smarter, faster, easier way to build a successful web application (Paperback, eBook & FREE online version) & Defensive Design for the Web: How to improve error messages, help, forms, and other crisis points
Rework is a series of essays, experiences and things learned by Jason and David over the last 10 years that they built 37signals into a very profitable business.
I really like how they opened the book in the second paragraph, “This book isn’t based academic theories. It’s based on our experience. We’ve been in business for ten years. Along the way, we’ve seen two recessions, one burst bubble, business-model shifts, and doom-and-gloom predictions come and go-and we’ve remained profitable through it all.”

If you aren’t familiar with 37signals and their products here is a quick list:
- Basecamp (Project Management App)
- Highrise (CRM App)
- Backpack (Small Biz Organizer App)
- Ruby on Rails (Last, but certainly not least… amazing and FREE web framework)
