Inside Facebook. Life, Work, and Visions of Greatness. Karel M. Baloun.

Inside Facebook. Life, Work, and Visions of Greatness. Karel M. Baloun.2006. ISBN: 0-9791421-0-5. A short (178) self published book (www.fbbook.com) that I consumed in a very short order. This is too all intents a “day in the life’ of a facebook coder book. The author was one of the first ten employees and came on board just prior to the wave on capital investment and site profitability. Very useful if you want an insight into today’s Web 2.0 start-ups. He started the same time that the You Tube founder started at Facebook. The author is kind to all the players and one suspects that there was lots more to write if one wanted to really get under the covers. Nice size, quick read and hey its only $18 via download. Not available in stores.
