Overview

Description

Nearly five years after the first edition of this book exploded on to the market,

noted software engineering guru and the father of Extreme Programming (XP)

Kent Beck provides a fresh look at this controversial topic. XP remains the

most popular agile methodology in software development, and many believe it

is ideal for small to mid-size development organizations. However, XP is not

without its detractors. The goal of the book remains to help programmers and

teams decide if XP is the right path to pursue. The book offers advice, but does

not provide a prescriptive, "how to" style format. This Fifth Anniversary

Edition enhances the full knowledge of XP and gives both the advocate and

skeptic of XP full detail to move forward with an informed opinion.

Features

An updated look at the roots, philosophies, stories, and myths associated with Extreme Programming (XP).

° Five years later, a thorough and entertaining re-examination of XP that explains what's good, what still needs work, and where the methodology is headed

° New afterword recounts the author's experiences that led him to develop and refine XP -- an insightful section that should inspire any organization to adopt XP

° Product launch at October's OOPSLA in Vancouver, BC
