Review: The Web Startup Success Guide by Bob Walsh
Both of us follow Joel Spolsky’s blog, Joel on Software, so when he recommended a new book: The Web Startup Success Guide, we both went off and ordered it.
The author Bob Walsh has crafted an invaluable guide dedicated to everything related to starting a startup in the web space. He covers SaaS, mobile apps, tools, money and funding advice, social media and way more. Sprinkled throughout the book are interviews with various serial entrepreneurs and experts (Guy Kawasaki, Joel Spolsky obviously, David Allen and many more). No matter how much you think you know about starting up, there’s so much more to learn from the book. He provides up to date links to various helpful online tools and resources, some of which Notion Learning will soon be using. His final advice on the last page (I won’t spoil it) is something we both now point each other at whenever things aren’t going so well.
Buy it, read it and tell everyone else involved in a web startup to do the same.
