Inhaltsangabe

For Software Engineering courses for use as a supplement or primary text.

This hands-on software engineering text fills the gap between the way students learn to program and the way software is written in professional practice with an interactive, project-oriented approach that includes: guidelines for setting up and presenting an XP software engineering course; tutorials on the core aspects of XP; and detailed descriptions of what to expect when applying XP to a development project. Using methodologies that are flexible enough to meet the changing needs of future clients, the text provides a detailed description of what happens in a typical cycle during an XP development effort and shows students what to do instead of telling them what to do.

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.

Significant Features

• Provides guidelines for setting up and presenting an XP component in a traditional software engineering course including a collection of short tutorials on the core aspects of XP and a course-long project
