| Friday, May 07, 2004 Meeting Topic:Extreme Programming Presenter:
Paul Hodgetts Abstract Since its arrival on the programming scene in 1998, Extreme Programming (XP) has become the most visible, and perhaps the most controversial of the new breed of agile development processes. Based on a foundation of both time-proven best practices and innovative new techniques, XP represents a departure from most traditional software development methods. Given XP's successes with early adopters and the increasing interest of the development community, it is clearly not just a fad. But is it too extreme for mainstream development? This presentation will provide a thorough introduction to the values, principles, and practices that form the XP process. We'll examine the XP process life cycle, and explore how XP teams go about creating software. We'll discuss XP's origins, its place in the world of traditional and agile processes, and we'll try to get to the bottom of both the hype and the misconceptions surrounding XP. Attendees will gain a solid understanding of Extreme Programming that can be applied to your development projects. Your Presenter: Paul Hodgetts helps teams adopt and improve their agile development processes. As CEO and principal consultant of Agile Logic, he provides consulting, mentoring, and training to a wide variety of clients. Paul has more than 21 years of experience in all aspects of software development, and has served as a coach, mentor, and team member of agile development teams for more than five years. His recent focus has been on the integration of executive management, marketing, project management and quality assurance into an overall agile development process. Paul is a published author (Extreme Programming Perspectives), a member of the Extreme Programming and Java/J2EE advisory boards at California State University Fullerton, and a presenter at conferences including XP Agile Universe and JavaOne. Paul originally learned XP in 1999 from the founders and thought leaders -- Kent Beck, Ron Jeffries, Robert Martin, and Martin Fowler. Since that time, he has applied XP, as well as other agile processes, to numerous projects.
