How to Engineer your Startup
A collection of learning material for starting your own web startup. [Will be updated biweekly]
I’m currently taking part in Stanford’s Startup Engineering class through Coursera. I figured not everyone would have the time to follow along with the course, but that others could benefit from some of the course resources. I’ll be updating this post often over the next few weeks. Hopefully learning from these resources will encourage you or someone you know to go and start their own web project or startup.
