  • Info
  • Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change (0201616416) by Kent Beck is the original book on XP by the man who invented it. Still the best overview.

  • Extreme Programming Installed (0201708426) by Ron Jeffries, Ann Anderson, Chet Hendrickson, Kent Beck is more detailed, and will help you learn to do it.

  • Planning Extreme Programming (0201710919) by Kent Beck, Martin Fowler concentrates on the Planning Game.

  • Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (0201485672) by Martin Fowler is a necessary resource if you're going to Refactor Mercilessly.

  • Extreme Programming Applied: Playing to Win (0201616408) by Ken Auer, Roy Miller is a practical book with some slightly different points of view.

  • Agile Software Development (0201699699) by Alistair Cockburn is 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 (047120708X) by Richard Hightower, Nicholas Lesiecki is 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 (0471208310) by Floyd Marinescu is the book on EJB design patterns. Much more in-depth than that published by Sun's engineers.

  • Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (0321127420) by Martin Fowler, et. al. If you're building distributed, persistent systems, this is the book to read first.
