Synopses & Reviews
Pro Agile .NET Development with SCRUM guides you, the reader, through a real world ASP.NET project and shows how agile methodology is put into action.
There is lots of literature on the theory behind agile methodologies, but no book on the market takes the concepts of agile practices and applies these in a practical manner to an end-to-end ASP.NET project, especially the estimating, requirements and management aspects of a project. Pro Agile .NET Development with SCRUM takes you through the initial stages of a project--requirements gathering and setting up an environment--through to the development and deployment stages using an agile iterative approach, namely SCRUM.
In the book, you'll focus on delivering an enterprise level ASP.NET project. Each chapter is an iterations or sprints, putting into practice the features of agile--user stories, TDD, BDD, CI, UAT, Extreme Programming, SCRUM, Design Patterns/Principles, Inside Out development, Lean Developent, KanBan boards, and more. An appendix features code katas designed for the reader to get up to speed with some of the features of extreme programming such as TDD & BDD while also showcasing popular open source frameworks to assist in automated testing and mocking. In addition, popular open source architectural foundation projects such as S#arp and NCommons are demonstrated to allow you to base future projects on these frameworks that already have many best practice design patterns and principles built in. What you'll learn Gain Practical knowledge on employing the SCRUM project methodology using a real world ASP.NET project. Demonstrates how extreme programming features in real world .net projects. Experience best practice-infused open source frameworks that can be used to form the foundations of agile projects such as S#arp and NCommons. Shares best practice tools for UI and UAT testing, such as Selenium and Fitnesse. Provides details on how to capture requirements and drive development using user storie. Discusses how to estimate and plan agile projects and work with business stakeholders through a practical example. Uncovers tips for developing using the Outside In, TDD and BDD methodologies. Provides information on tracking the progress of a project through burn down charts, iterations and retrospectives. Who this book is for
Experienced .NET developers who are looking to see how the SCRUM agile project methodology and extreme programming features are employed in a real world .NET application.
