Extreme Perl is a book about Extreme Programming using the programming language Perl.
Tutorial Details:
This book is about a marriage of two compatible yet unlikely partners. Extreme Programming (XP) is a software development methodology that enables users, business people, programmers, and computers to communicate effectively. Perl is a dynamic programming language that lets an XP team embrace the inevitable change caused by effective communication. Perl is the fixer and doer of the pair, and XP is the organizer and facilitator. Together they help you build robust software applications efficiently.
Like any good marriage, the partners of Extreme Perl support each other. For example, XP asks business people to write acceptance tests, and Perl lets the business people use their own language and tools for the tests. Much of Perl only happens when the program runs, and XP asks programmers to define what is supposed to happen in unit tests before they write the program. In this book, you'll see other examples where Perl reinforces XP and vice versa. This mutual support system is what makes Extreme Perl applications robust.
To Business People and Users
XP combines your project responsibilities into a single official role: the customer. That's the extent of the formalism. You don't need to learn use-case modeling, object modeling, or even fashion modeling. You write your requirements on a piece of paper with pen. You even get to draw pictures, although the programmers would prefer you didn't use crayon.
As the customer, you have the responsibility to speak in one voice. You can discuss the requirements as much as you like, but in the end, you write down a simple, clear requirement in your own language, called a story. Any disagreements need to be settled during the planning game, where you and the programmers hash out what needs to get done and how long it is going to take.
XP lets you change your mind. That means you have to hang around the programmers-something that may take getting used to. Programmers are terrible mind readers, and your immediate feedback is necessary when they get the requirements wrong or you realize a requirement isn't quite right.
