Stanford's new course on building a startup
Sounds more like a "how to build a web app" course. [0]<p>Building a startup involves a lot of "soft skills" that not all developers are familiar with: marketing, talking to customers, overcoming all sorts of psychological blockers/fears about putting yourself, your ideas, and your product "out there" for all people to judge.<p>When I saw the title, I hoped that it would focus on those aspects of building a startup, sort of like the 30x500 course by Amy Hoy. <a href="http://unicornfree.com/30x500" rel="nofollow">http://unicornfree.com/30x500</a><p>[0] There's nothing wrong with doing a course for how to build web applications. I just don't think it's the same thing as building a startup.<p>EDIT:<p>It seems the official name of the course is "Startup Engineering", which makes a lot more sense than the submission title: "How to build a startup".<p>Please fix the title of the submission so that this comment might be deprecated.
