5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 20 Feb 2008
By Mr. Neil Kidd - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book covers takes a broad approach with more than enough information to get you going in Agile development techniques. There are also numerous references to other works that you can follow up, when you are ready, to delve into any particular area.

Buy it - study it - apply it - improve the quality of your code.

Brilliant!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to agile coding, 26 April 2009
By Jørn Wildt (Alleroed, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book in the expectation that it would give a solid introduction to various agile methods - both coding principles as well as agile processes. It turned out to be focused primarily on coding principles ... of course, when you think about it ... it does after all focus on C# principles, patterns and practicies. You will see lots of coding examples (too many in my opinion) and very little about the agile processes around the actual coding. So it sure does deliver what it promisses: you will see how to actually implement coding patterns in C#.

If this is your first book on good object oriented patterns and practices then it's a good buy. If you already know your patterns, well, then it's a good brush up worth reading anyway.

If your are looking for a book on agile process like XP and Scrum then this is the wrong book.

As a senior C# programmer on my job I will certainly recomend new colleges to read this book.
