This book is the "Hello, World" tutorial for building products,
technologies, and teams in a startup environment. It's based on the
experiences of the author, Yevgeniy (Jim) Brikman, as well as interviews
with programmers from some of the most successful startups of the last
decade, including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub, Stripe,
Instagram, AdMob, Pinterest, and many others.
Hello, Startup is a practical, how-to guide that consists of three
parts: Products, Technologies, and Teams. Although at its core, this is
a book for programmers, by programmers, only Part II (Technologies) is
significantly technical, while the rest should be accessible to
technical and non-technical audiences alike.
If you're at all interested in startups--whether you're a programmer at
the beginning of your career, a seasoned developer bored with large
company politics, or a manager looking to motivate your engineers--this
book is for you.
