Valuable read for the XP/Agile devotee
I'll tell you at the outset I'm a big fan of agile programming. I lived through many years of waterfall development and all the pain that ensued. Having been convinced of the power and flexibility of Agile methodologies though hands on expereince there is *no* going back (never say never, eh?).
Although this book is written to debunk XP (no matter what the intro says), it doesn't do that job. What is does do very well is raise many of the questions that anyone intersted in Agile should ask themselves -- no matter if they have been practicing agile methodologies for years, or if they are just thinking about it.
Even if your are a 100% died in the wool fan of agile/XP/whatever - this is a very valuable book. It'll cause you to think and question. And that is always good.
