Extreme Programming Adventures in C#
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!
