I though that it was difficult to read a better book about XP than “Extreme Programming Explained” by Kent Beck. Then, “Extreme Programming Installed” by Ron Jeffries came to me. Last week, I finished it. Ron goes into the detail about the how-to in each XP detail. So, if you want to start with XP, read the explain one, but if you need to go deeper, the installed one is your book.

Happy new year to everyone! Today it’s January, 1st and I have finished reading “Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change, 2nd Edition”. If you love software development and agile practices, this book was the rules changer in the agile methodologies and software development in general. As I have done with other book reviews, here are my remarks. Buy it, seriously. You will fill the gaps about agile practices, so if you are doing Xp, Scrum, Kanban, Lean, etc. everything will gear together.

La segunda parte del prólogo de “Test Driven Development: By Example” es casi aún mejor (podéis ver la primera parte aquí). 34$ bien invertidos.

Siguiendo con mi andadura de lecturas técnicas, esta semanas voy a estar con “Test Driven Development: By Example”. El enfoque del libro es totalmente práctico pero el prólogo me ha parecido tan simple, claro y delicioso que no he podido hacer otra cosa que compartirlo con vosotros para que os animéis con TDD y a la lectura de este fantástico libro.
