lots of examples, but little content Short, straight to the point, Spoton for a beginner as me, This really was a quick one, A hundredsomething pages in quite legible font, I enjoyed reading this nice little introduction to the various practices of eXtreme Programming XP from both the perspectives of the individual programmer as well as the whole team, with a few additional chapters focusing on the process.
The book is written in a very colloquial tone and feels very practical, not that theoretical stuff you normally read when it comes to CS books.
Long story short: I liked it, You know what XP is, how to get it up and running, and how to plan projects using it,
Now its time to expand your use of Extreme Programming and learn the best practices of this popular discipline, In Extreme Programming Explored, you can read about best practices as learned from the concrete experience of successful XP developers, Author and programmer Bill Wake provides answers to practical questions about XP implementation, Using handson examplesincluding code samples written in the Java programming languagethis book demonstrates the daytoday mechanics of working on an XP team and shows welldefined methods for carrying out a successful XP project.
The book is divided into three parts: Part, Programmingprogramming incrementally, testfirst, and refactoring, Part, Team Practicescode ownership, integration, overtime, and pair programming how XP approaches system architecture and how a system metaphor shapes a common vision, a shared vocabulary, and the architecture.
Part, Processeshow to write stories to plan a release how to plan iterations and the activities in a typical day for the customer, the programmer, and the manager of an XP project.
