For too long our lives have been dominated by the 'under one roof' Industrial Revolution model of work. That era is now over. There is no longer a reason for the daily roll call, of the need to be seen with your butt on your seat in the office. The technology to work remotely and to avoid the daily grind of commuting and meetings has finally come of age, and bestselling authors Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson are the masters of making it work at tech company 37signals. Remote working is the future - and it is rushing towards us. Remote: Office Not Required combines eye-opening ideas with entertaining narrative. It will convince you that working remotely increases productivity and innovation, and it will also teach you how to get it right - whether you are a manager, working solo or one of a team. Chapters include: 'Talent isn't bound by the hubs', 'It's the technology, stupid', 'When to type, when to talk', 'Stop managing the chairs' and 'The virtual water cooler'. Brilliantly simple and refreshingly illuminating this is a call to action to end the tyranny of being shackled to the office.

In this timely manifesto, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework broadly reject the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today. In Rework, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson introduced a new path to working effectively. Now, they build on their message with a bold, iconoclastic strategy for creating the ideal company culture—what they call "the calm company." Their approach directly attack the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and hampers billions of workers every day. Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But it should be a mark of stupidity, the authors argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a problem for large organizations—individuals, contractors, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours—it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress. It’s time to stop celebrating Crazy, and start celebrating Calm, Fried and Hansson assert. Fried and Hansson have the proof to back up their argument. "Calm" has been the cornerstone of their company’s culture since Basecamp began twenty years ago. Destined to become the management guide for the next generation, It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work is a practical and inspiring distillation of their insights and experiences. It isn’t a book telling you what to do. It’s a book showing you what they’ve done—and how any manager or executive no matter the industry or size of the company, can do it too.

It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work

"Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, co-founders of software company 37signals, follow a simpler-is-better philosophy. This extends from writing software used in microblogging phenomenon Twitter - to building a business and managing a career. he company has a million users and a payroll of eight. Their point of difference is pared down simplicity: they make products that are shockingly easy to use. The advice contained in ReWork aimed at small businesses is equally no-nonsense and inspired: spend less money, hire fewer people, work fewer hours, have fewer meetings, and perhaps most surprisingly offer fewer features. Essentially do less than the competition. hey focus on what really matters. Employees are fresh, energised and forced to avoid distractions. With short, to-the-point chapters, ReWork draws together what 37signals has learned in the trenches while building a hugely successful company that not only has loyal customers, it has raving fans. Inspirational, motivational and simple, ReWork will be the post-recession business book of the year."

Rails is a full-stack, open source web framework that enables you to create full-featured, sophisticated web-based applications, but with a twist... A full Rails application probably has less total code than the XML you'd need to configure the same application in other frameworks. With this book you'll learn how to use ActiveRecord to connect business objects and database tables. No more painful object-relational mapping. Just create your business objects and let Rails do the rest. You'll learn how to use the Action Pack framework to route incoming requests and render pages using easy-to-write templates and components. See how to exploit the Rails service frameworks to send emails, implement web services, and create dynamic, user-centric web-pages using built-in Javascript and Ajax support. There are extensive chapters on testing, deployment, and scaling. You'll see how easy it is to install Rails using your web server of choice (such as Apache or lighttpd) or using its own included web server. You'll be writing applications that work with your favorite database (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, and more) in no time at all. You'll create a complete online store application in the extended tutorial section, so you'll see how a full Rails application is developed---iteratively and rapidly. Rails strives to honor the Pragmatic Programmer's "DRY Principle" by avoiding the extra work of configuration files and code annotations. You can develop in real-time: make a change, and watch it work immediately. Forget XML. Everything in Rails, from templates to control flow to business logic, is written in Ruby, the language of choice for programmers who like to get the job done well (and leave work on time for a change). Rails is the framework of choice for the new generation of Web 2.0 developers. Agile Web Development with Rails is the book for that generation, written by Dave Thomas (Pragmatic Programmer and author of Programming Ruby) and David Heinemeier Hansson, who created Rails.

Il est temps de cesser de glorifier la folie productiviste au bureau et de promouvoir la sérénité. L’amélioration de la productivité ne consiste pas à passer plus d’heures au bureau, c’est d’en gâcher moins et d'éliminer les activités inutiles qui distraient de l’essentiel et augmentent le stress. Dans ce deuxième ouvrage “décoiffant”, les auteurs décrivent une nouvelle façon de travailler qui correspond à notre époque et conduit à l’entreprise apaisée (et plus efficace) à laquelle chacun aspire. Comme eux, adoptez les règles du slow working pour accroître votre bien-être et le succès de l’entreprise où vous travaillez ! Jason FRIED et David HEINEMEIER HANSSON, auteurs du best-seller REWORK, ont créé et administrent Basecamp, un éditeur de logiciel mondialement connu... qu’ils dirigent selon les principes de ce livre

Rework

Produktives Arbeitsklima statt Bürowahnsinn Jason Fried und David Heinemeier Hansson sind Autoren des weltweiten Bestsellers Rework und Gründer des Softwareunternehmens Basecamp. In ihrem neuen Buch Schluss mit dem Wahnsinn im Büro präsentieren sie eine mutige, unorthodoxe Strategie zur Schaffung einer idealen Unternehmenskultur. Sie sagen damit dem Chaos, der Angst und dem Stress, unter denen Millionen Arbeitnehmer Tag für Tag leiden, den Kampf an. Denn Überstunden, ein fast unbeherrschbares Arbeitspensum und durchgearbeitete Nächte werden im modernen Büroalltag viel zu häufig als Verdienst und Zeichen von Engagement verstanden. Dabei sollte man sie eher als einen Ausdruck von Dummheit betrachten, so die Autoren. Und dieses Problem existiert nicht nur bei großen Unternehmen – auch Selbstständige verheizen sich auf die gleiche Weise. Mitarbeiter sind nicht produktiver, wenn sie einfach mehr arbeiten. Das Rezept heißt, weniger Zeit für überflüssige Dinge verschwenden und möglichst viele Faktoren aus dem Büro verbannen, die ablenken und Stress verursachen. Es ist Zeit, den Arbeitsfetisch zu beenden und eine entspannte Arbeitskultur einzuläuten. Dieses Buch ist eine wahre Inspiration und der Management-Leitfaden für diese Zeit. „Ihr Buch ist lustig, gut geschrieben und bilderstürmerisch und bei weitem das Beste, was das Management in diesem Jahr veröffentlicht hat." The Economist Zielgruppe sind Unternehmensgründer sowie Führungskräfte und Manager, welche die Leistungsfähigkeit und Zufriedenheit ihrer Mitarbeiter steigern wollen.
