Full title :Questioning Extreme programming / Pete McBreen.

Summary

-- A practical unbiased guide, but certain to cause a stir; allows readers to draw their own conclusions.-- Extreme Programming is a great fit for some projects and organizations, but one size does not necessarily fit all.-- Examines the roots of Extreme Programming so that the reader can understand the underlying issues in software development that spurred the movement.Ever since Extreme Programming burst on to the application development scene in 1998, it has been a lightning rod for controversy. With its emphasis on programmer-based development, many professionals love it. However, Extreme Programming contradicts many of the traditional beliefs in software development; therefore, many professionals hate it. Either way, potential adopters and opponents need to make decisions on Extreme Programming. In Questioning Extreme Programming, author Pete McBreen puts this agile approach to application development under the microscope, and closely examines both sides of this heated debate.
