Short, straight to the point. Spot-on for a beginner (as me).

This really was a quick one. A hundred-something pages in quite legible font. I enjoyed reading this nice little introduction to the various practices of eXtreme Programming (XP) from both the perspectives of the individual programmer as well as the whole team, with a few additional chapters focusing on the process.

The book is written in a very colloquial tone and feels very practical, not that theoretical stuff you normally read when it comes to CS books.

Long story short: I liked it.
