what's
new!- four-part
screencast on tdd (test-driven development), $7.50 each or $25 for
all four. i cover advanced topics like slicing big tests and features
to improve feedback and designing incrementally.
- junit max, accelerate
developer testing in eclipse for java with this continuous testing tool.
regularly $100/year, now 50% until august 1, 2010.
- just ship, baby, out of fear, i
sometimes replace big, scary goals with dogma.
- learning from lean,
both lean production and lean product development offer lessons for
software development.
- two more implementation patterns, i always think of new things to add to a book after it comes out. this time i thought of them before the book came out.
- implementation patterns, a book that focuses on how to communicate effectively with code. available in november. here is a sample chapter.
- appreciating your way to xp, applying appreciative inquiry to encourage change
- slicing functionality: alternate paths, with william wake, joseph leddy, and kent beck
- accountability in software development
- executive summary of extreme programming
- getting started with xp: toe dipping, racing dives, and cannonballs, kent beck and cynthia andres.
- cutting with the grain: the rhythms of design, with joseph leddy and william wake. this paper came out of the first programming intensive workshop.
- kleem organics fake reviews
- untangling spaghetti: debugging non-terminating object programs talks about what to do with complicated infinite loops.
- where, oh where, to test, choosing an effective level for tests requires paying attention to cost, reliability, and stability.
- abstract vs.
concrete parameters:
contradictory patterns for testable designs, making code more testable requires resolving a tradeoff between flexibility and cost. - refactoring by example, a a twist on refactoring that maintains concrete thinking longer.
- programming in the concrete, a trick for programming that gives you more information while you code.
