Rating:  - Thorough Overview of Extreme Programming (XP)
"Extreme Programming Explained" offers a thorough and good overview of the Extreme Programming (XP) approach to software development.

This is not the silver bullet, but you NEED to read this book.

Rating: - Become a Better Programmer
This is an excellent book, short, concise, and well-written. To derive the full benefit of the book, I recommend reading it three times.
The first time you should just try to grasp the concepts of XP and adapt your attitude to be willing to try XP on a real project. If you are a heavy-weight methodology old-timer, this might be a big step for you. Approach it with an open mind.
Only having read the book completely, should you attempt an XP project. That will prepare you ... Read More
