Extreme Software Engineering. A Hands-On Approach bridges the gap between academic and professional software practices by providing the format to incorporate a hands-on project into a are engineering course. This is the first textbook designed to teach XP methods in a traditional software engineering course. Students learn real world communication skids by working together in teams to test, code and create real-life XP software products for clients. With Extreme Programming, the client becomes the central part of the development team, creating a bottom-up design in which only necessary features are added to the system on an as-needed basis. This book is also ideal for professionals who want a concise, hands-on introduction to XP.

• Describes in detail the activities, expectations and responsibilities of participants in the XP software development process
• Immerses students or professionals very quickly in the programming experience
• Creates an opportunity for students to learn the necessary communication tools used in successful professional software development projects
