Title: A pitty, especially from great authors
Review: Maybe I should give a better rating to this book, but both authors have already wrote very good books & papers, so...Honestly, I don't understand why they write this book. The experiment doesn't reflect the field realities (2 gurus working together, for an internal project !), the book is rather short and filled with uneeded source code (if I want it, I get a Java book). At the end of the book, I didn't get the impression to have learn something valuable. My advice is to prefer (for the same target) "Extreme programming installed" which gives a true return on experience about XP, or even "Extreme Programming Explored",called "the XP FAQ" by myself.Bob & James, you are great guys. Really ! I lot of your writtings is more than valuable, and I got them. That's why I owned this book blindly. I'm afraid to say that it was my "disapointment of the year". Sorry.
