Book review for “Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months”

I'm my own boss
I'm my own boss

Here’s a book review I did on amazon.com

I’ve started a few small businesses that failed because of poor planning & structure.
Seeking for a change, I picked up this highly rated book on entrepreneurship to find out the essential skills and techniques needed to build a successful company.
Having finished this book, I’ve found what I’ve been searching for and realized my mistakes.
For example, I’m now aware that before I start my next company I need to develop a solid business plan, eliminate my debt, save up a year worth of operational cost and read this book again.
I really enjoyed reading this book since it’s simple, straight forwards and offers “Emerson’s Action Steps”, a list summarizing each chapter.

This book covers all the aspects of a start-up, from forming a life and financial plan to marketing and hiring employees.
I recommend “Become your own boss in 12 months” for anyone starting up a business, whether on-line or off-line.

Thanks Melinda Emerson for sharing your insightful knowledge to the world.

Coffee-script is a smoking hot simple language that converts 100% into Javascript code. Coffee-script allows you to spend more time focusing on the algorithm rather than the syntax.
js2coffee.org is an awesome website that converts your Coffee-script to Javascript and vice versa on the fly. So you can learn Coffee-script faster.
Example:
Let’s convert my Random Number Generator code from a previous post to Coffee-script.

// Javascript version
var getRandomNum = function( i, decLen ){
	return (Math.random() * (i||1) ).toFixed(decLen);
};

# My Coffee-script version
getRandomNum = ( i=1, decLen ) -> (Math.random()*i).toFixed(decLen)

# js2coffee.org Coffee-script verison
getRandomNum = (i, decLen) ->
	(Math.random() * (i or 1)).toFixed decLen

Awesome huh?

Check out a demo of Coffeescript here.

I’ll like to leave you with a HTML5 Coffee-script presentation.

Cheers.
