The target audience for this title are current .NET 1.1 developers and future .NET 2.0 developers who need to put Extreme Programming (XP) into practice. While other Extreme Programming books are usually theoretical in approach, this book takes the reader through the practical application of Extreme Programming with code-level solutions. It shows the reader how to apply the XP principles in a real-world environment. It provides an in depth look at each of the XP practices and shows the reader how each of these practices fits into the project development life-cycle. By showing developers how to work with .NET 1.1 today, and .NET 2.0 tomorrow, this book offers a long-term vision for Extreme Programming with Microsoft technologies.
