Extreme Programming for Web Projects

Extreme Programming for Web Projects
By Doug Wallace, Isobel Raggett, Joel Aufgang

Web development teams have been operating in the dark for far too long. The lack of proven development methodologies for the Web environment has resulted in a constant struggle for developers to produce quality Web-based projects on time and within budget. The field is multidisciplinary in character, involving both technology and graphic design: Web-based project development must address the issue of company image, must function on multiple platforms, and must incorporate multiple media into one complete package.

Readers will find information on vital topics such as:

• How the XP team approach enhances communication between Web technology and graphic design professionals

• How XP automated testing ensures a comprehensive approach to testing page layout, performance, and multiplatform operation

• How XP's continuous integration and short iterations serve the Web development team's need for flexibility

• How XP's emphasis on client involvement throughout the project improves oftentimes adversarial client relationships

• How XP can facilitate the difficult task of estimating the time and cost of project completion

• How XP functionality "stories" can be adapted for Web-based presentation stories

• How XML, XSLT, and Cascading Style Sheets can help sites remain flexible and maintainable

• How to use these guidelines for outstanding Web site design and coding techniques
