How they built Google Docs?
We are working on some rich web applications and Ashok sent a link on How they built Google Docs. That was actually Suw Charman-Anderson’s notes from the FOWA 07 (Future of Web Apps 2007) conference, where Jonathan Rochelle gave a talk on how they developed Google Docs over the years. What decisions they made, what experiences they had, and what they learned.
I collected some more resources on the topic. Things are sketchy, but still worth a read. There are many interesting (some well known, but seldom practiced) principles of product development. Anyone interested in product development will find this worthwhile.
So here are the references:
- Suw Charman-Anderson’s notes from FOWA 07
- Stuart Colville’s notes from the same talk
- A very well done mindmap from the talk by Lars Plougmann. On Flickr. I am also including the image below.
- And including the slides from the presentation too below!
