Extreme programming adventures in C#

At the moment I'm trying to read this book. Most reviews were good. To be honest I have great difficulties trying to get through. It is my first book on XP, I had hoped it would materialize extreme programming in some kind of way. But it does not. Yes you need a good story told by an experienced user and an experienced programmer. That should be kicking in an open door. And so far the adventures don't add much to that.

You cannot teach experience, experience can only be gained by doing something. You can teach the big lines you see being experienced. You can teach about the tools to help you. And there is more out there than just the Nunit the book comes up with.

But I'll ty to finish it.

Peter

Same problem here... I almost finished it. I did learn some more about XProgramming, but I think I could have learned those things in just a couple of pages as well.

Good luck finishing it.
