Reader Reviews
Practical to the point book on agile software process.. Very nicely written, great examples. It covers the tools like NUnit, NAnt, CruiseControl etc + the whole extreme process - like user interactions / building user stories - building protypes - the design phase, implimentation phase and the testing and delivery, everything in a very interesting and light weight manner. So much interesting that I went through on the week end and never get lost. Authors, Greg Pearman and James Goodwill, did a great job in explaining this extremely mis-understood process. Most people that i know just take it a Unit-testing or a pair-programming thing.. thats all.. when you read this book you'll understand that there is lot more than these important issues especially the customer's needs. Great book a must have for every developer/team-lead even if you are not following this process. Cheers :) Shams Comment | | (Report this)
