Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company.
Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover?
Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done.
But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businessesdo—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.
“Leo鉴书”只推荐有用、耐读、看过之后能让人有所收获的书。(注:由之前的“荐书”改为现在的“鉴书”) 因为自己也走在创业路上,所以对这方面的书比较关注,《创业者》就是其中之一。在此特别感谢华章的编辑刘静让我有机会看到此书。 本书分32章其实间32个高科技企业的创...
评分部分引人入胜、翻译质量高的章节在程序员杂志上已有连载。 远没有简介中说的那样好,翻译质量实在一般,当故事书凑合看吧,价值不大。
评分一 真正做过事和没有做过的人是不一样的。 这是本大部头了。 在这本书当中,你会看到32个企业家谈到他们如何创办自己的企业,一路遇到的艰辛等等的心路历程。 我们总是会认为初创企业开始的时候肯定会有一些神奇的东西发生,会有一些turning point,或者some kind of m...

我只看了关于DHH的部分。好吧,其实是看了rails诞生的部分。
评分有省略的看完了 不错的书 对于了解it行业的历史很有帮助
评分推荐给喜欢听故事的童鞋
评分有些书还真是不能读的太早,比如这本。当年读了,觉不过尔尔。现在重温,看到别人的创业故事,包括各种犯的错误,自己规规矩矩的很多都经历了,才感觉不过。推荐此书,不过你可能要在一个创业公司工作过再读。
评分I recommend it.
