Extreme Programming Explained

Kent Beck, Addison Wesley (The XP Series), 0201616416

An 180 page book about extreme programming.

Personally I don’t see what’s so extreme about extreme programming; It’s mostly about how you should organise your work to maximize result and pleasure.

And it’s about not accepting that office management methodologies that were invented for clerks in the early 20th century, work well in programming or design.

But given the current management practices in software and website development, it’s refreshing and comforting to read this stuff.
