    <p>Great to see another 37signals fan!</p> <p>Here's a quote from their online book, <em><a href="http://gettingreal.37signals.com/" rel="nofollow">Getting Real</a></em>:</p> <blockquote> <p>People often spend too much time up front trying to solve problems they don't even have yet. Don't. Heck, we launched Basecamp without the ability to bill customers! Since the product billed in monthly cycles, we knew we had a 30-day gap to figure it out</p> </blockquote> <p>Basically, <strong>decide on a launch date</strong>. Reduce the total <strong>scope</strong> of your application to the bare minimum that is required to release on that date. This will help you get the application out there in time, and give you live data to work on.</p> <p>If you've got the scope part figured out, and want to focus on the coding issues, then you should have a look at this section in particular, <a href="http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch10_Manage_Debt.php" rel="nofollow">Managing Debt</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>It's ok to [hack together some bad code that is still functional] from time to time. In fact, it's often a needed technique that helps you do the whole Get-Real-ASAP thing. But you still need to recognize it as debt and pay it off at some point by cleaning up the hairy code or redesigning that so-so page.</p> </blockquote> <p>In short, chuck the implementation of xCSS at the start, but ensure you come back to it at a later stage. Read chapters nine and ten on "Interface" and "Code".</p> <p>Finally, my favorite quote from the book:</p> <blockquote> <p>Build half a product, not a half-ass product. What you really want to do is build half a product that kicks ass.</p> </blockquote> <p>Hope you guys build a great product that you can showcase to the world. Resolving issues like these quickly is also another great way to save time! :)</p>
