DESCRIPTION
Provided you have no product development experience, an unproven business model and no funding, would you set out to enter an already overcrowded marketplace? Magnolia is the story of four people who did; and almost failed; and almost failed again; and succeeded in the end, because they truly believe in one thing: Simplicity matters. You will learn how our focus on simplicity makes Magnolia so attractive for our clients, for developers and for ourselves, and you will gain first insights into how we develop "Genuine", the new GUI for Magnolia 4.0. Along the way, you will learn how a small team out of Switzerland was able to create a product that is used around the world, is loved by its users and developers, and supports a solid 100% growth rate with an open source business model; and how you can, too.
