Behind the Cloud: The Untold Story of How Salesforce.com Went from Idea to Billion-Dollar Company-And Revolutionized an Industry by Carlye Adler, Marc Benioff

4.0

I should have read this book 4 years ago, when I was just starting out in SaaS. Benioff literally and figuratively wrote the SaaS (software as a service- aka cloud-based software- aka the only kind of software anyone makes anymore!) playbook-- which means that this book is essential reading for anyone who works in SaaS or is interested in starting a SaaS business. There is just so much learning wrapped up in this book. For others, aka most of the universe, it will probably be dry and feel very dated.
