Extreme programming eXplained : embrace change by Kent Beck ( Book )
33 editions published between 1999 and 2010 in English and Undetermined and held by 684 libraries worldwide
"Extreme Programming (XP) was conceived and developed to address the specific needs of software development conducted by small teams in the face of vague and changing requirements. This new lightweight methodology challenges many conventional tenets, including the long-held assumption that the cost of changing a piece of software necessarily rises dramatically over the course of time. XP recognizes that projects have to work to achieve this reduction in cost and exploit the savings once they have been earned." "You may love XP or you may hate it, but Extreme Programming Explained will force you to take a fresh look at how you develop software."--BOOK JACKET.

"Great code doesn t just happen. It is the outcome of hundreds of small but critical decisions programmers make every single day. Now, software innovator Kent Beck focuses on these critical decisions, unearthing "implementation patterns" for writing programs that are simpler, clearer, better organized, and more cost effective." "Beck collects 77 patterns for handling everyday programming tasks and writing more readable code. This new collection of patterns addresses many aspects of development, including class, state, behavior, method, collections, frameworks, and more. He uses diagrams, stories, examples, and essays to engage the reader as he illuminates the patterns. You'll find solutions for handling everything from naming variables to checking exceptions." "Implementation Patterns will help programmers at all experience levels, especially those who have benefited from software patterns or agile methods. It will also be a resource for development teams seeking to work together more efficiently and build more maintainable software."--BOOK JACKET.
