eXtreme Programming = Marketing Concept
A few good ideas not strikingly unknown to senior developers, packaged up to
be sold as books. Though probably has a useful marketing function for
developers wanting to convince their managers of a change in practises.
[ I thought I was getting cynical, now I have proof :^) ]
That said, if the good concepts are not obvious then I'm happy that someone
is selling them!

Brett.

Like we need another "extreme" anything?
I like this:
Extreme Programming (XP) is actually a deliberate and disciplined approach to
software development.
That doesn't sound too extreme. Sounds cautious to me. Marketing cack,
ahoy!
