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.
