Description: Extreme
Programming (XP) is a phenomenon. It promises developers unprecedented
efficiency and quality -- and it's delivering on that promise. In this book,
Bill Wake doesn't just explain XP to developers who are new to it: he shows how
to personally apply the XP best practices that have been identified by
leading-edge practitioners. This new book emerged from a series of Bill Wake's
essays intended to help XP newbies understand and personally apply XP.
Wake covers each
key tenet of XP development, including the central role of developers,
programming in pairs, direct communication with customers, and continual
testing. The book's pragmatic, hands-on approach is reinforced with supporting
Java code, concrete examples, and extensive war stories. Along the way, Wake
addresses major objections to adopting XP, and introduces new XP "best
practices" that allow organizations to introduce XP far more rapidly and
successfully. For every developer, software engineer, architect, project
manager, or software customer already using XP or considering the introduction
of XP methods.
