If you are seriously interested in understanding how you and your team can start down the path of improvement with XP, you must read this book.\"    -  Francesco Cirillo, Chief Executive Officer, XPLabs S.R.L.    \"The first edition of this book told us what XP was-it changed the way many of us think about software development.\r\n\r\n This second edition takes it farther and gives us a lot more of the 'why' of XP, the motivations and the principles behind the practices. This is great stuff. Armed with the 'what' and the 'why,' we can now all set out to confidently work on the 'how': how to run our projects better, and how to get agile techniques adopted in our organizations.\"    -  Dave Thomas, The Pragmatic Programmers LLC    \"This book is dynamite! It was revolutionary when it first appeared a few years ago, and this new edition is equally profound.\r\n\r\n For those who insist on cookbook checklists, there's an excellent chapter on 'primary practices,' but I urge you to begin by truly contemplating the meaning of the opening sentence in the first chapter of Kent Beck's book: 'XP is about social change.' You should do whatever it takes to ensure that every IT professional and every IT manager-all the way up to the CIO-has a copy of  Extreme Programming Explained on his or her desk.\"     -  Ed Yourdon, author and consultant    \"XP is a powerful set of concepts for simplifying the process of software design, development, and testing. It is about minimalism and incrementalism, which are especially useful principles when tackling complex problems that require a balance of creativity and discipline.\"     -  Michael A. Cusumano, Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management, and author of  The Business of Software    \"  Extreme Programming Explained is the work of a talented and passionate craftsman.\r\n\r\n Kent Beck has brought together a compelling collection of ideas about programming and management that deserves your full attention. My only beef is that our profession has gotten to a point where such common-sense ideas are labeled 'extreme.'...\"     -  Lou Mazzucchelli, Fellow, Cutter Business Technology Council    \"If your organization is ready for a change in the way it develops software, there's the slow incremental approach, fixing things one by one, or the fast track, jumping feet first into Extreme Programming. Do not be frightened by the name, it is not that extreme at all.\r\n\r\n It is mostly good old recipes and common sense, nicely integrated together, getting rid of all the fat that has accumulated over the years.\"     -  Philippe Kruchten, UBC, Vancouver, British Columbia    \"Sometimes revolutionaries get left behind as the movement they started takes on a life of its own. In this book, Kent Beck shows that he remains ahead of the curve, leading XP to its next level. Incorporating five years of feedback, this book takes a fresh look at what it takes to develop better software in less time and for less money.\r\n\r\n There are no silver bullets here, just a set of practical principles that, when used wisely, can lead to dramatic improvements in software development productivity.\"     -  Mary Poppendieck, author of  Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit    \"Kent Beck has revised his classic book based on five more years of applying and teaching XP. He shows how the path to XP is both\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
