Product Description

Product Description

Extreme Programming (XP) is a revolutionary lightweight methodology that's supercharging software development in organizations worldwide. Perfect for small teams producing software with fast-changing requirements, XP can save time and money while dramatically improving quality. In XP Installed, three participants in DaimlerChrysler's breakthrough XP project cover every key practice associated with XP implementation. The book consists of a connected collection of essays, presented in the order the practices would actually be implemented during a project. Ideal as both a start-to-finish tutorial and quick reference, the book demonstrates exactly how XP can promote better communication, quality, control, and predictability. An excellent complement to the best selling Extreme Programming Explained, it also works perfectly on a standalone basis, for any developer or team that wants to get rolling with XP fast.

From the Author

It's good to see XP catching on internationally!
We wrote this book for software development teams everywhere, because XP has helped us and we wanted to share it. There are already teams in the UK and the EEC doing XP, and we're delighted to see people having success with it.

Extreme Programming Installed was written for people who want to know how to get the benefits of XP for their team, and their company. It covers the breadth of XP from planning to testing and release, and we sincerely hope you'll try the book, and the process.

If we can help out, please get in touch. Thanks!

Format:Paperback
I read the three books in the series (as the authors so enthustiastically and repeatedly recommended - I wonder why!) I have to say, I found their writing style exceptionally clear and enthusiastic. Very much a "Hey, let's get real here". Very refreshing in a world gone berzerk for processes! The recommendations in this book do leave a number of questions unanswered but I suspect that the target audience is that of seasoned development complexities (i.e., have knowledge of UML or other methodologies under their belts as a support mechanism). The book alludes to these finer points more in passing than any great detail. The book does however mention the use of UML during design and constant refactoring during the iterative process.

For a clearer picture on how to implement, I'd recommend reading Planning Extreme Programing and Extreme Programming Installed and then get onto the XP web sites... to get the low down and connect with folks using the techniques for real! Great Stuff...

I'd strongly recommend the set of 3 books in the series - they won't solve world peace but will give you some VERY "doable" techniques and a lot to think about. For that alone they're worth the price!

If you've caught the buzz surrounding the XP movement and would like to know how XP might work in your organisation, this book is probably the quickest way to get an understanding of what it takes to make XP work. It's a book for techies, maybe, where Beck/Fowler's ~Planning XP" is aimed at a larger audience, but as a technie I like "XP Installed".

I read this book when I was signed up to Safari Books Online alongside a number of other books related to the extreme programming practices. This book stood out as the one that I would most recommend to my work colleagues who are also interested in the topic. As such, we purchased a copy of the book from Amazon and it is now making its way round the office.

A very easy and enjoyable read that gets the principles across in a light way with good examples.
