Learning Agile is a comprehensive guide to the most popular agile methods, written in a light and engaging style that makes learning easier.
Agile has revolutionized the way teams approach software development, but with dozens of agile methodologies to choose from, the decision to “go agile” can be difficult. This hands-on book helps you understand this, first by grounding yourself in the principles behind Agile, then by describing four specific and well-used agile methods: Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, and Kanban.

• Learn Scrum’s emphasis on project management, self-organization and collective engagement.
• Focus on software design and architecture with XP practices such as test-first and pair programming
• Use lean thinking to empower your team, eliminate waste and deliver software quickly

Essential Skills for Agile Development
Agile development, especially eXtreme Programming (XP), has gained a lot of momentum because it can effectively address the problems that plague software development, such as misunderstanding of customer requirements, missed deadlines, budget overruns and conflicts between customers and developers. and poor maintainability of legacy systems.
However, it is very difficult to teach the skills needed to be agile. In 2002, we, the Macau Productivity and Technology Center (CPTTM), began teaching courses on XP and object-oriented design to teach skills by contracting with a well-known software training and consulting firm to provide the teaching. Although the instructor was very professional and informative and the students were happy, they did not acquire the skills taught.
We knew it was because the concepts involved were abstract and he needed a lot more exercises for students to practice in the courses. Therefore, we have decided to develop our training materials. Specifically, we select 20% agile development skills that deliver 80% of the value, ignoring other useful but not essential skills. We then explain these essential skills in terms of examples and add many real-world examples as exercises. After adopting this set of materials, students have truly acquired the skills taught.
To share it with the community, we have organized the training materials in this book: Essential Skills for Agile Development. The book includes the following chapters: (1) Elimination of duplicate code. (2) Convert comments into code. (3) Odor removal code. (4) Keep the code in shape. (5) Take care to inherit. (6) Management of inappropriate referrals. (7) Separate database, user interface and domain logic. (8) Management of software projects with user story. (9) OO layout with CRC cards. (10) Proof of acceptance. (11) How to test the acceptance of a user interface. (12) Single test. (13) Test-based development. (14) Team development with CVS. (15) Essential communication skills. (16) Torque programming.
