Why read this book?

If you’ve heard anything about Extreme Programming, you have probably had a number of nquestions about the mechanics or the purposes of various aspects of XP. I’ve tried to capture the questions I had, along with answers I’ve found. Several things about XP were surprises to me, particularly the tight cycle of test-first programming (only a couple minutes long), the use of a metaphor, and the starkness of the division of labor between customer and programmer. We’ll look at these, and many other topics. You, the reader, may have several areas of interest that bring you to this book:

Java and object-oriented programming. The first section of the book uses Java examples to focus on test-first programming and refactoring. Programmers may find the discussion of team practices useful as well, particular the ideas about metaphors and simple design. ?Extreme programming, from the perspectives of programmer,customer, and manager. We’ll explore several areas more deeply or from a different perspective than the rest of the XP literature, especially the team-oriented practices, the metaphor, the planningprocess, and daily activities.

Software process in general. XP is one of a number of so-called “lightweight” or “adaptive” processes that have been introduced in the last few years. By looking at XP’s process more deeply, we can more clearly delineate where XP fits in with these related processes.
