Ryan Carson (founder of Carsyn Systems ltd) offers a practical and down-to-earth description of what it takes to build a web app - especially the financial aspects if you decide to bootstrap the whole process from idea to finished product.

It can work! It did for me! In many ways Ryan’s description is similar to how I work with new projects today. It is also very close to how I started TraceWorks with my co-founder Anders and the marvelous design/tech cousins Jesper and Jimmi.

Ryan’s blog post dates back to 2006 - but everything is still true (… much of the stuff he’s talking about is actually becoming easier / cheaper by the day: hosting, communication, and in some ways also marketing).
