| There are a lot of them. A lot! But it depends if you are interested in pure methodology, or you want to see some example of applying it in software/Web development with PHP/Java/RoR/... From my experience, I found helpful next books: "Test Driven Development: By Example" by Kent Beck "Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices" by Robert C. Martin "Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide" by Craig Larman "Agile Project Management with Scrum" by Ken Schwaber "Agile Software Development Ecosystems" by Jim Highsmith Those are pretty "technology independent". Helpful to understand the idea. And the authors are respected and well known in the community of agile developers. If you work with RoR (which is popular choice nowadays) you may find "Agile Web Development with Rails" by Dave Thomas and David Hansson interesting, but it does not cover "agile methodology" itself too wide. But it does give a good overview of practical usage. Anyhow, personally I still prefer to learn theory before practice, but many people see it working for them ;-) |
