Getting Real
This blog is a great place to talk about our development strategy. Our objective was to produce the app very quickly. Since we’re both have day jobs, time is a constraint. So we had to find a way to go forward very quickly.
A couple of month ago I read the e-book Getting Real from the folks at 37signals. It summarize perfectly the good way of working on that kind of projects. And if I was already applying most of their recommendation that was a great reading that gave me the will to do the project.
Needless to say that BigNumbr is written with Ruby on Rails — the productive framework. And it’s not a myth, according to my time tracking sheet, the cumulated time I’ve already spent on the app is… just 31 hours.
That’s just incredible.
