'''Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change''' (ASIN:0201616416) by Kent Beck This is the original book on XP by the man who invented it. Still the best description and overview. '''Extreme Programming Installed''' (ASIN:0201708426) by Ron Jeffries, Ann Anderson, Chet Hendrickson, Kent Beck This is more detailed about the practices than ''Explained'', and will help you learn to do it. '''Planning Extreme Programming''' (ASIN:0201710919) by Kent Beck, Martin Fowler This book concentrates on the Planning Game. '''Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code''' (ASIN:0201485672) by Martin Fowler A necessary resource if you're going to RefactorMercilessly. '''Extreme Programming Applied: Playing to Win''' (ASIN:0201616408) by Ken Auer, Roy Miller A practical book with some slightly different points of view. I really like this book as it walks through some encounters with real customers. '''Agile Software Development''' (ASIN:0201699699) by Alistair Cockburn A really cool book about the people aspects of software development. It goes really deep. It's not an XP book, by the way. '''Java Tools for Extreme Programming: Mastering Open Source Tools Including Ant, JUnit, and Cactus''' (ASIN:047120708X) by Richard Hightower, Nicholas Lesiecki More about the tools than it is about Extreme Programming, but that's certainly not a condemnation of the book. '''EJB Design Patterns: Advanced Patterns, Processes, and Idioms''' (ASIN:0471208310) by Floyd Marinescu The book on EJB design patterns. Much more in-depth than that published by Sun's engineers. '''Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture''' (ASIN:0321127420) by Martin Fowler, et. al. If you're building distributed, persistent systems, this is the book to read first. |
