Extreme Programming Pocket Guide Review

By Larry Gray

Comments about oreilly Extreme Programming Pocket Guide:

This book superbly condences practices that could have a positive effect on any methodology that a programmer currently has in use. I have read it twice and found it hard to find lines to highlight because I seemed to want to highlight all of them. If you are looking for a good methodology that will help your open source projects(or otherwise), this is it.

I code open source and I use sourceforge with cvs for a repository. Most of what is in this book I feel can be applied in some way. While its difficult to implement the war room and pair coding, this can be emulated. WWW and possibly IRC can be the war room. Pair coding can be one guy writing, the other reviewing. But I found all other aspects of XP to be most helpful, especially in the adopting of new priciples, practices, methods, standards and in the reorganization of my projects. Among that, XP Style, Artifacts and one very useful Metric for tracking your ability to estimate task time.

Great book, will improve your work.

Extreme Programming Pocket Guide Review

By Wade Matveyenko

Comments about oreilly Extreme Programming Pocket Guide:

If you are looking for a quick introduction to Extreme Programming (XP), then this is your book. Inside this gem is the essence of XP. chromatic has boiled down the original XP manifesto (extreme programming explained by Kent Beck) and many other books in the XP series into one little book.

The book covers the following topics:

XP Values

XP Practices

XP Events

XP Artifacts

XP Roles

Coding, XP Style

Adopting XP

While much of the information in this pocket guide is available in other books, I do not think that I have seen such a concise summary of Extreme Programming before. I would recommend this book to anyone who may be gathering an XP team together or is interested in learning the highlights of XP in a short time. That said, experienced XP practitioners will not find anything new in this book, but if you need a quick reference this book may be for you as well.
