The author of this book demonstrates that you can write well-designed, resilient code incrementally and safely, while minimizing your investment in speculative up-front design.

See eXtreme Programming (XP) in action at the hands of an XP mater—and learn Microsoft .NET and C# programming in the process! In this fast-paced, hands-on exposition, Ron Jeffries—one of the leading voices and practitioner in the XP community—demonstrates that you can write well-designed, resilient code incrementally and safely, while minimizing your investment in speculative up-front design. As Jeffries builds his sample application, you get firsthand insights into what successful XP development looks like, complete with real-world challenges such as the eleventh-hour change order. For further practice and study, you can download all the author’s code—including missteps—so you can see XP and agile concepts in action and assess how they fit into your own work.

This book is a chronicle of a little project done in the style XP recommends, insofar as I’m capable of doing what I teach. The project includes many of the things that befall real projects: people leave the project and come back, new people come in for a while, key people get sick, hard problems crop up, and so on. We even get a difficult “surprise” requirement. To make it even more difficult, I chose a programming language and environment that I had never used before the start of the project, namely C# and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
