Some general reading and resources you may find helpful

When people ask me to give them advice about getting into startups, I direct them to these bits of writing.

There is loads of stuff out there which can help get an understanding of how "startups" are different from other service businesses, and how to approach trying to start one. Here are my top picks:

• All of Paul Graham's essays are excellent, but in particular:
  • How To Get Startup Ideas N.B. it is useful to compare Graham's advice to the advice given in Slava Akhmechet's How to pick startup ideas
  • Startup = Growth
  • What Startups are Really Like
• Before The Startup

    // using the query parameters, get the page number by getting the value of the "page" parameter
    var pageNumber = pathname.split('page=')[1];

    // if we haven't found anything, this is the first page (but it's zero-indexed, so it's page 0)
