Extreme Programming Refactored: The Case Against XP

Before we get started, we want to draw attention to some of this book’s very unique elements. This isn’t your normal, run-of-the-mill computer science book! The subject matter is, we feel, worthy of a satirical treatment, so that’s what we’ve set out to give it. In addition to the satire, there’s al...
