| Description: | Twenty years after the Agile Manifesto was first presented, the legendary Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) reintroduces agile values and principles for a new generation of software developers. In this eagerly awaited book, the best-selling author of The Clean Coder shows how to bring unprecedented levels of professionalism and discipline to agile development — and thereby write far more effective, successful software. As with his other books, Martin''s Clean Agile: Back to Basics doesn''t merely present multiple choices and options, and say "use your best judgment"; it tells you what choices to make and why those choices are critical to your success. Writing in the agile context, Martin offers direct, no-nonsense answers to crucial questions:
Clean Agile: Back to Basics is essential reading for students, programmers, managers, testers, project managers, and every software professional called upon to lead or participate in an agile project. Agile Values and Principles for a New Generation"In the journey to all things Agile, Uncle Bob has been there, done that, and has the both the t-shirt and the scars to show for it. This delightful book is part history, part personal stories, and all wisdom. If you want to understand what Agile is and how it came to be, this is the book for you." "Bob''s frustration colors every sentence of Clean Agile, but it''s a justified frustration. What is in the world of Agile development is nothing compared to what could be. This book is Bob''s perspective on what to focus on to get to that what could be. And he''s been there, so it''s worth listening." It''s good to read Uncle Bob''s take on Agile. Whether just beginning, or a seasoned Agilista, you would do well to read this book. I agree with almost all of it. It''s just some of the parts make me realize my own shortcomings, darn it. It made me double-check our code coverage (85.09%)." Nearly twenty years after the Agile Manifesto was first presented, the legendary Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") reintroduces Agile values and principles for a new generation-programmers and nonprogrammers alike. Martin, author of Clean Code and other highly influential software development guides, was there at Agile''s founding. Now, in Clean Agile: Back to Basics, he strips away misunderstandings and distractions that over the years have made it harder to use Agile than was originally intended. Martin describes what Agile is in no uncertain terms: a small discipline that helps small teams manage small projects . . . with huge implications because every big project is comprised of many small projects. Drawing on his fifty years'' experience with projects of every conceivable type, he shows how Agile can help you bring true professionalism to software development.
If you want Agile''s true benefits, there are no shortcuts: You need to do Agile right. Clean Agile: Back to Basics will show you how, whether you''re a developer, tester, manager, project manager, or customer.
