Extreme Programming (XP) is an entirely new Agile development methodology that rethinks the entire development process from the perspective of what really works, not what should work in theory. This course provides an overview of the process, taught by experts who have actually used this new methodology on successful projects. Upon completion, the student will be well-versed in the theory, mechanics, and practices of XP.
Get a chance to try key practices, like test-driven development in hands-on labs.
Prerequisites: Previous knowledge of a programming language is required.
Who Should Attend: Programmers and technology leaders looking for in-depth knowledge on this leading-edge development methodology.
