eXtreme programming and agile concepts

I'll be giving the same talk I gave this week at the .Net Architects meeting about XP and Agile Development:

When: 21st of this month 17:30

where: C# user group

what:

This month, we will discuss eXtreme programming and agile concepts. This unusual, yes interesting topic is gaining momentum in the industry.

This talk will introduce the basic concepts behind the “Extreme Programming” development methodology, and the rationales behind it. We will also talk about some of the more “controversial” aspects of it – Test Driven Development and Pair Programming, with anecdotes from real world experience with these concepts.

Besides introduction to these concepts we will also cover some of the methods used to teach development teams these practices, and what it takes from both the technical side and the managerial, political side of things.

Get ready to open your minds - It’s gonna get bumpy!
