… and a long, long way from home. Currently, I am looking forward to doing software projects as a solo developer for the next time. The XP way seems very promising to me but it has a strong focus on teams - pair programming, stand-up meetings and the like. Fortunately, the XP people are also aware of the “solo developer” problem and there are some interesting suggestions for using the XP benefits for your lonely-cowboy-project.

This one is for our german-speaking audience: if you are interested in agile development methods (or eXtreme Programming in particular), but never had the opportunity to try it for real, you should listen to this issue of Chaosradio Express, a german radio show/podcast. It features Pavel Mayer, head of development at art+com.

From the show’s description:

Pavel berichtet aus seinen jahrelangen und mehrheitlich positiven Erfahrungen in der konkreten Anwendung von Extreme Programming im Unternehmen und erläutert, welche Schritte nötig waren, um diese Umstellung zu einem Erfolg zu führen, welche langfristigen Effekte das hatte.

Its a great and very insightful show, now I’d like to try XP myself…
