eXtreme .NET: Introducing eXtreme Programming Techniques to .NET Developers

In a major shift from the past, Microsoft has been encouraging developers whouse Visual Studio to pay attention to software architecture and softwaredevelopment methodologies. One methodology which is well-suited to the waythat many Microsoft development teams work is eXtreme Programming. Manydevelopers using VB and C# admire its flexibility, its emphasis on testing, andthe idea of developing in small teams. While they have been trying to pick upthe XP techniques from the general books on XP and Agile, there is a dearth ofinformation to help them apply the Agile techniques in a Microsoft setting.Extreme .NET is the first book to provide a complete and practical guide tousing eXtreme Programming with .NET. The author is well regarded in boththe XP and .NET communities. He uses extensive case studies and real worldexamples to illustrate best practices throughout the book, and provides manyhands-on exercises so that readers make sure they have learned the concepts.The book concludes with a chapter on step-by-step development that will puttogether all the practices taught in the book to develop a piece of software.
