KEYNOTES EXTREME PROGRAMING: AFTER 10 YEARS, WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT? MONDAY, MARCH 9, 12:15 PM – 1:15 PM ROBERT C. MARTIN It has been 10 years since Extreme Programming broke upon our industry. In that time we have seen the rise of the Agile movement, and the gold rush for Scrum certification. We have seen the concept of testing do a complete reversal in emphasis, and shift away from heavy planning. But what have we learned? Do we really all program in pairs? Do we really all write our tests first? Do Agile projects really fare better than others? Do we have enough data now to separate the truth from the myth? And why, after all this time, does it still dominate our conferences and conversations. Isn't there something new to talk about? Robert C. Martin has been a software professional since 1970. He is president of Object Mentor Inc., a team of experienced trainers, mentors and consultants that serves its clients worldwide in the fields of OO, Patterns, UML, Agile Methodologies and particularly eXtreme Programming. In 1995, Martin authored the best-selling book Designing Object Oriented C++ Applications using the Booch Method, published by Prentice Hall. In 1997, he was chief editor of the book iPattern Languages of Program Design 3, published by Addison Wesley. In 1999, he was the editor of More C++ Gems, published by Cambridge Press. He is also coauthor, with James Newkirk, of XP in Practice (Addison Wesley, 2001). In 2002, he wrote the long awaited Principles, Patterns and Practices of Agile Software Development, published by Prentice Hall. From 1996 to 1999, Robert was the editor-in-chief of the C++ Report.
