Extreme programming
I spent the first fifteen or so years of my career in fairly serious software development. In '97, I moved to the web, and while there are some healthy tech challenges there (particularly doing web-based applications development), the two worlds tend to exist separately. Or so I'm thinking, because I've been completely unaware about the agile software development and extreme programming (XP) movements--both of which have recently been discussed on the interaction design/architects list. Presumably these will have a lot of relevance to the web, yet I'm not sure how much cross-pollination is occurring. What am I missing?

If you are into technical writing you will see a whole different documentation cycle with extreme programming. Because the application can be delivered anytime, so your documentation must be. With XP there's few starting specifications, few formal analysis, almost no time for QA (the assumption here is : time to market have priority to the polishing and everything else). -- Posted by David Tremblay on October 27, 2003 01:07 PM
