Learn how to transform XP theory into concrete Java® development techniques!
Software developers live by the mantra "evolve or die." Adhering to that philosophy, Richard Hightower and Nicholas Lesiecki present you with an innovative book about Extreme Programming (XP)–– a development methodology that...
Low-temperature electronics has already been studied for more than five decades . Originally the main interest was in fundamental material properties at cryogenic temperatures . Although the real benefits of operating semiconductor devices were clearly demonstrated in the 1970s, a peak in activity occurred a decade later when the cryocompute...
Your Hands-On, "In-the-Trenches" Guide to Successfully Leading Agile Projects
Agile methods promise to infuse development with unprecedented flexibility, speed, and value—and these promises are attracting IT organizations worldwide. However, agile methods often fail to clearly define the manager's role, and many...
Life on Earth is critically dependent upon the continuous cycling of water between oceans, continents and the atmosphere. Precipitation (including rain, snow, and hail) is the primary mechanism for transporting water from the atmosphere back to the Earth’s surface. It is also the key physical process that links aspects of climate,...
Pro Agile .NET Development with SCRUM guides you through a real-world ASP.NET project and shows how agile methodology is put into practice.
There is plenty of literature on the theory behind agile methodologies, but no book on the market takes the concepts of agile practices and applies these in a practical...
This volume contains papers presented at AI 2010, the 23rd Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence held December 7–10, 2010 in Adelaide, South Australia. The Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence has a long history and has established itself as the premier event for artificial intelligence researchers...
The hallmarks of Extreme Programming--constant integration and automated testing, frequent small releases that incorporate continual customer feedback, and a teamwork approach--make it an exceptionally flexible and effective approach to software development. Once considered radical, Extreme Programming (XP) is rapidly becoming...
Graph rewriting systems have come of age. In autumn 1994, the 25th anniversary of
the first publication in this area was celebrated at the 5th Workshop on Graph
Grammars and their Applications to Computer Science. In the interim, the subject has
evolved. The current situation can be described by a three-stage model. At the very
low...
An integrated and personalized approach to health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset
There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the...
eXtreme .NET shows developers and team leaders how to incorporate eXtreme programming (XP) practices with .NET-connected technologies to create high quality, low-cost code that will build better software. This practical, realistic guidebook systematically covers...
Our civilization runs on software. Yet the art of creating it continues to be a dark mystery, even to the experts, and the greater our ambitions, the more spectacularly we seem to fail.
Big software projects regularly crash and burn--just ask the FBI and the IRS, the Pentagon and the FAA, or any decent-size corporation. The...
You've heard about Extreme Programming. You might have read articles or books describing the XP process, but what next? How do you implement XP principles into an actual Java project? This unique book explains everything you need for XP development, starting with Ant, the popular Java build tool. The authors describe every stage of a real-world...
