Here is everything you need for successful development and marketing of computer software. Whether you plan to start a business, are already in business, or work within an existing business, you need... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a great book for the tech head who wants to start up a small software company but has very little business experience. It forces you to think about all issues involved in running a company, not just the product development side. The appendixed example of a business plan in the book is one of the best I've seen for a small enterprise. Most other books on Software development I have are too academic to be workable but this one is not. This book doesn't deal a great deal with actual software engineering practices so don't buy it if that is your main objective. I would have given this book a 10 but it is somewhat outdated because it doesn't mention OO architecture and internet marketing. But if your aim to boot-strap a small software startup this is a MUST!
