eXtreme .NET: Introducing eXtreme Programming Techniques to .NET Developers [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

You Don''t Have to "Believe" in XP to Learn Something from It

Many developers tell me that XP is "a nice idea, but it would never work in the real world." Although I disagree, because I have seen it work very well in the real world, it might be that it would never work in their world. Moving to XP can be a cultural shift and can cause massive disruption if not handled carefully. However, some of the techniques practiced by developers who use XP are incredibly powerful tools for any developer to have in his or her toolbox. So even if you are in doubt and don''t believe XP is worth considering, I suggest you at least try to learn what is valuable from this set of practices.

This book teaches these XP practices for you as a developer of .NET software. I hope that you learn from each one and use XP to create great software.
