Please note that this is the June meeting and has been postponed due to coordination problems. This month, we will discuss **eXtreme programming and agile concepts**. This unusual, yes interesting topic is gaining momentum in the industry. This talk will introduce the basic concepts behind the “Extreme Programming” development methodology, and the rationales behind it. We will also talk about some of the more “controversial” aspects of it – Test Driven Development and Pair Programming, with anecdotes from real world experience with these concepts. Besides introduction to these concepts we will also cover some of the methods used to teach development teams these practices, and what it takes from both the technical side and the managerial, political side of things. Get ready to open your minds - It’s gonna get bumpy!  Details summary: Date: **July 5th, 2004** (5/7/2004) Time: **17:30 – 20:00** Location: **HP offices, 9 Daphna St, Kiryat Etgarim (northern industrial area), Ra’anana**  (see http://www.microsoft.com/israel/dev/netsa.asp for location details) Topic: **eXtreme programming and agile concepts** **Agenda:** **17:30 – 17:45** – Assembly **17:45 – 18:45** – eXtreme programming and agile concepts – Roy Osherove – Senior Consultant - Magen Software Enginnering **18:45 – 19:00** – Break **19:00 – 20:00** – eXtreme programming and agile concepts – Roy Osherove – Senior Consultant - Magen Software Enginnering ## More in .Net Original [All posts in .Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original) - Jul 18, 2004 ### [Announcing:Coolest Add-in Contest - Entries available for download](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/7/18/announcingcoolest-add-in-contest-entries-available-for-downl.html) - Jul 11, 2004 ### [Introducing: NUnitX and the Rollback attribute - Seamless database rollback with Nunit](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/7/11/introducing-nunitx-and-the-rollback-attribute-seamless-datab.html) - Jun 19, 2004 ### [\[Article\] Simplified Database Unit testing using Enterprise Services](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/6/19/article-simplified-database-unit-testing-using-enterprise-se.html) - Jun 16, 2004 ### [Implementing the BackgroundWorker component - today(source included)](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/6/16/implementing-the-backgroundworker-component-todaysource-incl.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
