⠜In this second edition of Extreme Programming Explained, Kent Beck organizes and presents five years⠙ worth of experiences, growth, and change revolving around XP. If you are seriously interested in understanding how you and your team can start down the path of improvement with XP, you must read this book.⠝ ⠔ Francesco Cirillo, Chief Executive Officer, XPLabs S.R.L. ⠜The first edition of this book told us what XP was⠔it changed the way many of us think about software development. This second edition takes it farther and gives us a lot more of the ⠘why⠙ of XP, the motivations and the principles behind the practices. This is great stuff. Armed with the ⠘what⠙ and the ⠘why,⠙ we can now all set out to confidently work on the ⠘how⠙: how to run our projects better, and how to get agile techniques adopted in our organizations.⠝ ⠔ Dave Thomas, The Pragmatic Programmers LLC ⠜This book is dynamite! It was revolutionary when it first appeared a few years ago, and this new edition is equally profound. For those who insist on cookbook checklists, there⠙s an excellent chapter on ⠘primary practices,⠙ but I urge you to begin by truly contemplating the meaning of the opening sentence in the first chapter of Kent Beck⠙s book: ⠘XP is about social change.⠙ You should do whatever it takes to ensure that every IT professional and every IT manager⠔all the way up to the CIO⠔has a copy of Extreme Programming Explained on his or her desk.⠝ ⠔ Ed Yourdon, author and consultant ⠜XP is a powerful set of concepts for simplifying the process of software design, development, and testing. It is about minimalism and incrementalism, which are especially useful principles when tackling complex problems that require a balance of creativity and discipline.⠝ ⠔ Michael A. Cusumano, Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management, and author of The Business of Software ⠜ Extreme Programming Explained is the work of a talented and passionate craftsman. Kent Beck has brought together a compelling collection of ideas about programming and management that deserves your full attention. My only beef is that our profession has gotten to a point where such common-sense ideas are labeled ⠘extreme.⠙...⠝ ⠔ Lou Mazzucchelli, Fellow, Cutter Business Technology Council ⠜If your organization is ready for a change in the way it develops software, there⠙s the slow incremental approach, fixing things one by one, or the fast track, jumping feet first into Extreme Programming. Do not be frightened by the name, it is not that extreme at all. It is mostly good old recipes and common sense, nicely integrated together, getting rid of all the fat that has accumulated over the years.⠝ ⠔ Philippe Kruchten, UBC, Vancouver, British Columbia ⠜Sometimes revolutionaries get left behind as the movement they started takes on a life of its own. In this book, Kent Beck shows that he remains ahead of the curve, leading XP to its next level. Incorporating five years of feedback, this book takes a fresh look at what it takes to develop better software in less time and for less money. There are no silver bullets here, just a set of practical principles that, when used wisely, can lead to dramatic improvements in software development productivity.⠝ ⠔ Mary Poppendieck, author of Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit ⠜Kent Beck has revised his classic book based on five more years of applying and teaching XP. He shows how the path to XP is both

Quite simply, test-driven development is meant to eliminate fear in application development. While some fear is healthy (often viewed as a conscience that tells programmers to be careful! ), the author believes that byproducts of fear include tentative, grumpy, and uncommunicative programmers who are unable to absorb constructive criticism. When programming teams buy into TDD, they immediately see positive results. They eliminate the fear involved in their jobs, and are better equipped to tackle the difficult challenges that face them. TDD eliminates tentative traits, it teaches programmers to communicate, and it encourages team members to seek out criticism However, even the author admits that grumpiness must be worked out individually! In short, the premise behind TDD is that code should be continually tested and refactored. Kent Beck teaches programmers by example, so they can painlessly and dramatically increase the quality of their work.

World-renowned author, psychiatrist, clinician, spiritual teacher, and researcher of consciousness David R. Hawkins shares that we are all born with an energetic frequency within the vast field of consciousness. And with The Map of Consciousness, we can truly understand the total spectrum of human emotions and consciousness. Using a unique muscle-testing method, Dr. David R. Hawkins conducted more than 250,000 calibrations during 20 years of research to define a range of values, attitudes, and emotions that correspond to levels of consciousness. This range of values-along with a logarithmic scale of 1 to 1,000-became the Map of Consciousness, which Dr. David R. Hawkins first wrote about in his best-selling book, Power vs. Force. With the Map, Dr. David R. Hawkins laid out the entire spectrum of consciousness, from the lower levels of Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Fear, Anger, and Pride; to Courage, Acceptance, and Reason; all the way up to the more expanded levels of Love, Ecstasy, Peace, and Enlightenment. These higher energy fields are a carrier wave of immense life energy. An essential primer on the late Dr. David R. Hawkins s teachings on human consciousness and their associated energy fields, The Map of Consciousness Explained offers an introduction and deeper understanding of the Map, with visual charts and practical applications to help you heal, recover, and evolve to higher levels of consciousness and energy. This enlightening book transcends the boundaries of conventional wisdom, integrating the realms of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality in a powerful exploration of human consciousness and human potential to help you be more effective in every area of your life.Some highlights include:â “ A thoughtful fusion of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality.â “ A comprehensive interpretation of the law of attraction and its intrinsic link with consciousness and personal evolution. â “ A scientifically grounded guide to harness the power of positive thinking and its practical applications.â “ An insightful perspective on the power vs force dynamic, offering fresh insights into personal and professional relationships.â “ An enriching collection of practical exercises and affirmations designed to awaken and energize your consciousness.Dr. David R. Hawkins has a remarkable ability to simplify complex concepts. Whether you re in search of motivational books for women, leadership books for aspiring entrepreneurs, or behavior books to comprehend the nuances of human interaction, this book can revolutionize how you perceive and interact with the world, inspiring profound transformation and positive change. That which weakens life energy is to be avoided: shame, guilt, confusion, fear, hatred, pride, hopelessness, and falsehood. That which uplifts life is to be realized: truth, courage, acceptance, reason, love, beauty, joy, and peace. â “David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.Whether you re a scholar, a personal growth enthusiast, or simply on a path of self-discovery, this book will help you live with more awareness and lead a more conscious and fulfilling life.

Leverage Modern Language Constructs to Write High-Quality Code FasterThe functional and concurrent programming language features supported by modern languages can be challenging, even for experienced developers. These features may appear intimidating to OOP programmers because of a misunderstanding of how they work. Programmers first need to become familiar with the abstract concepts that underlie these powerful features.In Functional and Concurrent Programming, Michel Charpentier introduces a core set of programming language constructs that will help you be productive in a variety of programming languagesâ ”now and in the future. Charpentier illustrates key concepts with numerous small, focused code examples, written in Scala, and with case studies that provide a thorough grounding in functional and concurrent programming skills. These skills will carry from language to languageâ ”including the most recent incarnations of Java. Using these features will enable developers and programmers to write high-quality code that is easier to understand, debug, optimize, and evolve.Key topics covered include: Recursion and tail recursion Pattern matching and algebraic datatypes Persistent structures and immutability Higher-order functions and lambda expressions Lazy evaluation and streams Threads and thread pools Atomicity and locking Synchronization and thread-safe objects Lock-free, non-blocking patterns Futures, promises, and functional-concurrent programming As a bonus, the book includes a discussion of common typing strategies used in modern programming languages, including type inference, subtyping, polymorphism, type classes, type bounds, and type variance.Most of the code examples are in Scala, which includes many of the standard features of functional and concurrent programming; however, no prior knowledge of Scala is assumed. You should be familiar with concepts such as classes, methods, objects, types, variables, loops, and conditionals and have enough programming experience to not be distracted by simple matters of syntax.

From acclaimed poet and New Yorker writer Cynthia Zarin comes a deeply personal meditation on how love and loss shape places and spaces, all through the lens of four Italian spaces. Here we encounter a writer deeply engaged with narrative in situ – a traveller moving through beloved streets, sometimes accompanied, sometimes solo. With her we see anew the Venice Biennale, the Lagoon and San Michele, the island of the dead; the Piazza di Spagna, the Tiber, the view from the Gianicolo; the pigeons at San Marco and the parrots in the Doria Pamphili. Zarin’s attention to the smallest details, the loveliest gesture, brings Venice, Rome, Assisi and Santa Maria Maggiore vividly to life for the reader.

Understanding the motivations behind those who partake in extreme sports can be difficult for some. If the popular conception holds that the incentive behind extreme sports participation is entirely to do with risking oneâ ™s life, then this confusion will continue to exist. However, an in-depth examination of the phenomenology of the extreme sport experience yields a much more complex picture.This book revisits the definition of extreme sports as those activities where a mismanaged mistake or accident would most likely result in death. Extreme sports are not necessarily synonymous with risk and participation may not be about risk-taking. Participants report deep inner transformations that influence world views and meaningfulness, feelings of coming home and authentic integration as well as a freedom beyond the everyday. Phenomenologically, these experiences have been interpreted as transcendent of time, other, space and body. Extreme sport participation therefore points to a more potent, life-enhancing endeavour worthy of further investigation. This book adopts a broad hermeneutic phenomenological approach to critique the assumed relationship to risk-taking, the death wish and the concept of No Fear in extreme sports, and repositions the experience in a previously unexplored manner.This is valuable reading for students and academics interested in Sports Psychology, Social Psychology, Health Psychology, Tourism, Leisure Studies and the practical applications of phenomenology.

OPRAH S BOOK CLUB PICKA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A roadmap on the journey to truth and authenticity... [The Way of Integrity] is filled with aha moments and practical exercises that can guide us as we seek enlightenment Oprah Winfrey This radiant book will not only change your life, but perhaps even save it Elizabeth Gilbert Martha Beck s genius is that her writing is equal parts comforting and challenging. A teacher, a mother, a sage, she holds our hand as she leads us back home to ourselves Glennon Doyle_____________________Bestselling author, life coach and sociologist Martha Beck explains why integrity - being in harmony with ourselves - is the key to a meaningful and joyful lifeIn The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us-people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits-all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante s classic hero s journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us towards our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us.With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach and human being to help readers to uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives, but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.
