Book Review: 'Start Your Own Software Company'

I started reading this book Friday and finished it last night. The only thing I do not like about it is that whoever edited this book missed some very basic grammar errors...a lot of them. It really doesn't detract from the professional nature of the book to me. I mean, it is not the author's fault, is it?  It just detracts from it's readibility. Anywhoo, the book covers EVERY aspect of setting up a software company. From accounting to legal, from taxes to development, from marketing to sales. Obviously, entire dictionary-length books have been written about each of these subjects but the author does a great job examining each from the perspective of a person starting a software development company.  I do recommend it if you interested in this path. I found numerous things that I had not considered before. There is another distraction, however. If you go the route the author suggests, and do every thing he says, you are looking at $1000's of needed startup capital. I think it can be done much cheaper but I guess the author has to cover his backside.  Overall, I give it 3.5 out of 5. The author's name is David J. Cracas. The link for the book is here on Amazon.
