37signals published the E-book ” getting real” <\/a>in 2006 – it evolves around the tasks that need to be done to make a successful web application. Now, I haven’t got that much experience in making web apps ( especially since I don’t code).. but ThomasKay<\/a> was continuously telling me that I had to read it because it would change my life and the way I looked at projects.
So I did.
It was great.
You have to read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, there’s a lot of the tasks and processes that can be used in creative ways, and especially related to the web – for me especially related to Toothless Tiger<\/a>.
Now what thrills me about the web nowadays – and why I am involved with it, I guess is the spontaneity of it all. There are so many projects in beta waiting to be commented on and shaped to their further development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can actually shape things to your liking. isn’t that fantastic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and not only web app’s you can actually shape your world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so what did “getting real” teach me ? that I don’t need to hesitate with my projects – I can actually post my ideas ( or projects) on a blog\/wiki\/community) and have the instant first ideas from the people there.
Now if the critism is non-constructive and I am met with a – “this has already been done before” – I LISTEN, and if I don’t agree or think that the survival of the project is likely not to happen in this area, I simply change the community. new ” target group” if you will\u2026
Sometimes my ideas are so far out that no one gets it.
Sometimes I put too much responsibility in the hands of the readers\/participants\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

what’s important to me is that I learn – and I know things for the next crazy idea\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t need to wait until some widget is developed, it can be putted on display from the beginning, and I do normally have a good sense of whether I should continue with the project or let it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so spontaneity is important for creativity and this is what the web gives me.
feedback and answers\u2026 FLOW if you will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lovely..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and if you haven’t read “getting real” I would say it is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
