This chapter 14 of Getting real talks about different thing, and first is the Feel the Pain which means tear the walls between support and development this chapter talks about the context has a direct impact on the customer on how wee design a thing or application. Meaning in building a application you must build a wall that is not far from your customer build a wall that is toward to your target customer. Because one key to success is to build and have a good relationship with your customer, company who make the product must support it in a way that the customer can feel this is a secured because the company are supported the product.
In doing this thing by giving support to the customer it is favor for the company because they will monitor what are the product defects or errors by the customer’s feedback and reaction about the product. In this case you will create a good product and you and your customer will have a better understanding to each other and relationship to each other. And in appointing the person in the customer support system be sure that this person know a lot of information about your product because if the person in charge are not knowledgeable about your product the impact of this is the communication with the customer will have a difficulties and not treat in a nice manner.
It is important to understand the customer feeling their needs and wants, not just it is they need but think what their other affairs to talk are. It is more convenient to give your customer need and wants when you are open to hear they feedback when your are open and accept their comment with open ear.

The chapter 13 of getting real talks about the customer and application how to handle and implement right application, and it said that creating a excitement in your application catch the customer so in order to do that you need to make a Teaser it is like in the Hollywood they do this before they launch the Movie so that the customer make more face attention to the film and figuring out what is the film. It is just like in your application before launching the application make a Teaser about what is your application and let the your customer know what your application, so the customer and the market are aware and they are not shocked if they saw your project in the future. But in releasing a teaser of your product do not expose all of the feature or the whole application make more detail but short.
And for the next approach that Getting real talks about the Preview, make some previews about your application, and to apply that you may launch your preview over the net if your target customer is on the web, and if you are going to launch it on the television if your target customer are not using the net. And in launching the project be sure that it shows about your project function, uses, capabilities and other information about your application and the affect of this is the more exiting preview you launch the more the customer more attracted and more exited to buy your application.
The last thing you must do according to the getting real is Launching the application. In launching application you must check or verify if you are advertising a good application with proper advertising. You may post it in your website or other web affiliates like blog site, email or wiki. Or giving some brochures, leaflets and as much as possible spread the new all over your market.

Getting Real Chapter 12
In order for you to catch the people in the community and in the market, you should make and give something that important to them, something that has value.
In that action these people will concentrate on what you made for them.
In this chapter there is also topic that how are you going to catch your customer, so in order to attract them you should make a innovation strategy meaning something new to the market and interesting, and there is also some strategy by giving some incentives to your customer.
In order to elaborate more on your project you should give a better explanation, example of your application and some explanation about your application. So that your target customers are aware what your product is and how it is done,
This is also important that you should entertain your client and do not ask your customer to pay at full because they will bother to pay because they didn’t see the output of the product. So make it semi annually or monthly, because the most important is the expediency of the customer

Getting Real Chapter 11
Words
It is like saying that a functional specification is needed in order to have a better team, and it is also a support to a programmer and developers to work properly and to minimize the error. In this functional specification the developer will have a determination and what they do have a meaning to them. They tell also that the document is different in the discernment of the reader. Meaning that if there are a lot of details and specs in the document it is more hard and despondent to the developer and programmer of the company. Because it is there is a possibility that complication and error during the building of the project.
And in order to minimize the discernment of the reader you should limit your specification of the project easy to understand and easy to interpret. You should write the specification which is important and need only in the project.
And if the correct specification is ready it is time to start the code and the user interface design of the application if the user analysis is finalized, they do this in order to limit and avoid the revision of the project during the code and if you complete this the result of your application is very nice and you will complete you app on time. And the very last important topic here is in working you application you must do a genre or subject that will catch the attention of your target market, you must create an application with differentiation strategy and uniqueness, unique in a way you are different in the other company

“As many in the industry have observed, “retail is detail.” Appropriately, retailers have turned to technology to help them overcome the complexity of managing an incredible number of products, customers, transactions, suppliers, employees, and stores on a daily basis.
In areas such as supply chain management, marketing, and merchandise planning, retailers are making significant investments in technology to drive top- and bottom-line improvements. It should then come as no surprise that IT is an increasingly large component of retailers’ costs.
However, many retailers do not achieve desired returns on IT investments. Where do they go wrong? In many cases, retailers do not successfully link technology decisions to their business strategies or do not adequately follow-up to ensure the value is captured; other times, they fail to build a solid technology platform for growth, for instance, by neglecting to define clear standards and build the appropriate IT skills.”
The Retailing Technology helps the people, the business, and the other industry to become more powerful in such a way producing a huge number of products and this is very nice to hear.
An also in order to gain the It investment I think you should align the appropriate IT skill, the strategy that you used and the IT people who manage the technology. I think these are the important thing we should know when we are in the retailing technology.
Getting Real Chapter 10
Code
According to the chapter it tells that if you are a programmer and you make a code you should do this in a simple way, meaning less code and easy to understand, you do it for best practice because if you are a programmer of a big company and you code very hard the more code the more slower your application. This is the effect of hardcode program, slow and hard to debug. It also said the every programmer have different capabilities that leads them to a own strategies of making a code, so do your own technique or strategy to be more productive and have a better application.
If you have building a project it there should be a exact code to apply on this application, do not do a lot of code on the desired project, and the disadvantage of hard coded program or application is the tendency to break down of the existing problem and you will encountered a lot of bug in this application. So in short try to minimize the code of you application for the result of better application and for the benefit of the programmer for them to easy code and debug the program.
When you make a application make sure that these application have a better code and better user interface design, because the customer are the number one judge in criticizing your application. So to make your project lest cost, so if you notice that your application have a poor design and hard code try to fix it as early as possible or make a new design of application before launching it in the beta test.
In final don’t forget to maintain your project, fixing the bugs, release some update and update the user interface design which is important, because if you do this approach your error will become minimal and your application will run and work efficiently. Your customer will have a good impact in your program and meet their need you will satisfy, and in the end your mission as a programmer and developer it achieve the expectation of your customer.

Getting Real Chapter 9
Interface Design
In chapter 9 of the getting real it talks about the Interface design and this is so interesting because it is important in building a application, I think when I check website first thing I criticized is the user interface design of that site and if the UI of that site is nice I my impression on that site was very excellent while if the UI that the site is cheap or not cool I think I will press the close button if it is not important site.
For me I think UI is one of the factor of the good website, but in making a User Interface it should be like making a painting in the canvas you will put a fashion and heart in doing some UI because it is not small thing because you need color combination, what pictures to put, some background effect, and event the size of the picture and margin of the website or application.
In this chapter it said that you should finish the Design first before you code because it will be more productive if you make a user interface design because it save a lot of time and effort to code because you will be code easily if you have a UI design. There is a fact that when you making your UI design you should be creative, fashion lover and while when you code you should have the mind of logical abilities, patience.
In making some design I think the design you creative is suitable in the website theme or what is the website all about it should be compatible on the website you created example you create a website design with a lot of gothic style back and dark image while the theme of your site and the purpose of the site is the Sport’s Website I think that is not an appropriate design you should made. Try to relate the color combination, the image and the effect that you made in the theme of the site.

Getting Real Chapter 8
Staffing
In chapter eight it talks about it said that you hire as you want but make sure that you hire a better person, but in choosing and hiring a person don’t hire and hire in your company because you think that person is the best and suit for the company that is not practical thing. So to make it simple and easy to understand you hire best people but hire people which are important which is necessary to the company and have a better output.
Before hiring a person of applicant make a test or analysis if that person suits for the company and in your team, and in comparison to that it is like choosing a best girlfriend which makes you happy and in relation to that you choose which the best is. Choose a person with a better understanding which is the hard worker person because you just need to hire people which fits in your company you don’t have to hire a super brainy people all you have to do is to hire a better, best and necessary to the company or team.
So in generalization in this chapter it shows how to hire a better person in your company, how to choose and what the qualifications in choosing applicants are.
