The use of "extreme" in the name is partly supposed to
convery the "in-your-face" attitude.
XP takes previous approches to software development and
turns them around completely.
From the stories that I have heard of
Kent Beck
teaching
people about XP, he's very extreme as well. Very
entertaining stories. In a post grad course I took, we covered
XP in one lecture. My
lecturer
took an extreme approach to teaching it, which made the
lecture a lot of fun and carried across Kent's attitude.
I've picked some of this up
as well,
so I don't talk about extreme programming, it's EXTREME
Programming!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
