Title: Not Much Practical Information
Review: I bought this book mainly because XP theory is everywhere, but examples of applying it to the development process are pretty scarce. I admit I was also persuaded by the authors' reputations.The book is very disappointing. It reads like a Socratic dialogue, only Socrates forgot to show up and left it to two of his freshman students to hash things out. Needless to say, they bumble along and in the meantime do not enlighten the reader much. If you waste your time reading this book, you'll probably realize that you're a more disciplined developer than you thought. To some people that might be worth the [PRICE].For good practical information on XP coding and testing, I highly recommend Rick Hightower's book "Java Tools for Extreme Programming". This is a great guide to using open source tools like Ant and JUnit to do XP development in a Java shop. Might be too practical for Socrates to have written, but Aristotle would have loved it.
