In this highly practical 2-day XP workshop, you will gain a thorough understanding of the underlying principles, concepts and practices of eXtreme Programming (XP). XP is one of the leading agile development processes and during this XP course you will learn how to apply XP principles and make decisions concerning tools, design, testing and planning.
You will also learn how to specify a system through stories, estimation and tracking and how to introduce Test Driven Development, System Integration Unit tests and much more.
