I just finished reading Extreme Programming Explained, 2nd Edition, by Kent Beck.
The book is a very easy read, weighing in at 160 pages. I was able to easily finish it in the spare minutes I have during the day.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will be applying a few of the principles immediately at my job. I enjoyed taking a break from purely technical book and focusing on values and principles. There is also an extensive annotated bibliography in the back which will probably serve as my new-books-to-read source.
Next up is the Pragmatic Programmer, which I probably should’ve read a LONG time ago, but always put it off. I’ll write a short review when I finish it.
