Essential Skills for the Agile Developer: A Guide to Better Programming and Design
Description
Agile has become today’s dominant software development
paradigm, but Agile methods remain difficult to measure and
improve. Essential Skills for the Agile Developer
fills this gap from the bottom up, teaching proven techniques for
assessing and optimizing both individual and team Agile
practices. Written by four principals of Net
Objectives–one of the world’s leading Agile training
and consulting firms–this book reflects unsurpassed
experience helping organizations transition to Agile. It focuses on
the specific actions and insights that can deliver the greatest
design and programming improvements with the least investment. The authors reveal key factors associated
with successful Agile projects and offer practical ways to measure
them. Through actual examples, they address principles, attitudes,
habits, technical practices, and design considerations–and
above all, show how to bring all these together to deliver
higher-value software. Using the authors’ techniques,
managers and teams can optimize the whole: the whole organization
and the whole product across its entire lifecycle. Essential Skills for the Agile
Developer shows how to Program by intention Separate use from construction Consider testability before writing code Avoid over- and under-design Succeed with Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) Minimize complexity and rework Use encapsulation more effectively and systematically Know when and how to use inheritance Prepare for change more successfully Perform continuous integration more successfully Master powerful best practices for design and refactoring
