Description
* Cuts through the hype and tells "the other side of the story" about
Extreme Programming.
* Provides a thorough and systematic analysis of XP practices and
separates the "agile" from the "fragile".
* Distinguishes useful XP techniques (e.g. use of automated unit
testing tools) from questionable ones (e.g. oral documentation).
* No punches pulled-direct and funny approach.
