Product Description

Product Description
See eXtreme Programming (XP) in action at the hands of an XP master—and learn Microsoft .NET and C# programming in the process! In this fast-paced, hands-on exposition, Ron Jeffries—one of the leading voices and practitioners in the XP community—demonstrates that you can write well-designed, resilient code incrementally and safely, while minimizing your investment in speculative up-front design. As Jeffries builds his sample application, you get firsthand insights into what successful XP development looks like, complete with real-world challenges such as the eleventh-hour change order. For further practice and study, you can download all the author’s code—including the missteps—so you can see XP and agile concepts in action and assess how they fit into your own work. Pair program with an XP master, discovering how to: •Streamline and simplify the software development process •Work more effectively as part of an XP development team •Reduce missteps by designing, testing, and refining code in increments •Receive clearer specifications and feedback from customers •Write cleaner, more expressive code—and weed out more bugs •Conserve resources by planning and reassessing progress as you go •Maintain a sustainable work pace—and avoid burnout •Step up delivery dates, shipping the most crucial features first •Improve customer satisfaction!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, 19 Aug 2004
By Mr. M. Randall (Wakefield, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ron Jeffries provides a diarist's account of building a fairly simple application using most of the XP principles, and in doing so provides the reader with a gradual introduction and practical example of the methodology in use. The writing style is conversational and sometimes witty, making for an enjoyable book to read for anyone who is interested in XP. The book is largely a rewrite of articles from his XP website, but there is sufficient new material in the book to make it a worthwhile purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 22 Jul 2005
By Mark Hopkins (Sheffield, S. Yorks. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Brilliant book which shows how a "real" programmer goes about his work. If you're new to Extreme Programming or Agile Development there are other books to read to get the theory but if you want to be shown how to do it "in the trenches" then look no further. Ron is an excellent writer whose style is relaxed and cheerful.

One piece of advice, follow the code by keying it in yourself, you will learn and it should even be fun, was for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars A C# Book Less Ordinary, 19 April 2004
By Mr. M. A. Woodhouse "Mike Woodhouse" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't buy this book if you want a C# reference guide. Don't buy it if you want to see perfect examples of how to code in C# on every page. Do buy it if you want to explore a major new language with a programmer who's been around the block a few times. Ron writes in an accessible style about his voyage of exploration learning C# through the application of Extreme Programming techniques. When he makes mistakes we get to see them - sometimes we may even spot them before he does. A most unusual and informative work, and Microsoft should also be congratulated for having the boldness to publish something a little different.
