Rating: The Art of Agile Development is a very powerful book. To people like myself who are approaching Agile for the first time it is a compelling and energizing read, completely capturing the spirit of Agile as well as carefully explaining the mechanisms of XP. It is a book that can be used as a reference for experienced practitioners of XP, but I think even those who have read Beck and others will want to read it from cover to cover. There are a lot of �good sense� aspects to many of the practices of XP and progressing through the first chapters, the reader quickly understands the simplicity and workings of each one of them. But keep reading! The book is full of enlightening moments as the author focuses in on the ties that bind the practices together, explaining the practices� workings and their sustaining relationships using real world examples. I highly recommend this book to anyone involved in building technical teams inside or outside of software development.
