Title: Extreme Programming Adventures in C# (with source code) Author(s): Ron Jeffries Pages: 560 Publisher: Microsoft Press Publication date: 2004 Language: English Format: CHM ISBN-10: 0735619492 ISBN-13: Description: The author of this book demonstrates that you can write well-designed, resilient code incrementally and safely, while minimizing your investment in speculative up-front design.
See eXtreme Programming (XP) in action at the hands of an XP mater-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 practitioner 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 missteps-so you can see XP and agile concepts in action and assess how they fit into your own work.
This book is a chronicle of a little project done in the style XP recommends, insofar as I'm capable of doing what I teach. The project includes many of the things that befall real projects: people leave the project and come back, new people come in for a while, key people get sick, hard problems crop up, and so on. We even get a difficult "surprise" requirement. To make it even more difficult, I chose a programming language and environment that I had never used before the start of the project, namely C# and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
