In the last couple of chapters, we have looked at Agile Modelling, which applies agile philosophies to the modelling activities that take place within software development projects. In this chapter and the next, we will start to look at how these philosophies have also been applied to the act of programming. In our case, we will look at Extreme Programming (more commonly known as XP). XP is part of the agile movement that focuses on the writing of the software that will implement the required system. This may involve writing Java code, Smalltalk, C++, C#, database tables, XML files, etc.
