Summary:

Extreme Programming does not mean programming naked while rollerblading down the side of the Grand Canyon. It's a new approach to software development that is both radical and common-sense. Unlike many software development methodologies, XP has been accepted quickly because its core practices -- particularly code sharing, test-first development, and continuous integration -- resonated immediately with software developers everywhere. Instead of impressing developers with a body of theory, XP got programmers to say, "Yeah, that's how I'd like to work." The Java Extreme Programming Cookbook shows how to use the many tools that support extreme programming in Java. Like O'Reilly's other cookbooks, the Java Extreme Programming Cookbook is an extremely practical collection of recipes that show you how to solve common problems. And like XP itself, this book offers a wealth of common-sense advice that helps you become more effective: it shows you how to set up a consistent build environment, do unit testing, test servlets effectively, measure performance, and much more. If you need to jump-start an extreme programming environment, if you've been wanting to investigate XP but haven't known where to start, or if you've implemented an XP environment that isn't quite working to your satisfaction, this book will be invaluable.
