• This actually has material for both new and long-time developers...
  When I first looked at Head First Software Development by Dan Pilone and Russ Miles, I was thinking that it would be best targeted at people who had never formally written software before. It definitely fits that bill. But I can see a use for experienced developers who have never been exposed to agile development techniques. Either way, it's a very good book.

  Intro
  Great Software Development: Pleasing Your Customer
  Gathering Requirements: Knowing What The Customer Wants more info

• Great, Easy to read, Brain Friendly
  This is my second Head First title. I have enjoyed this one just as much as Head First SQL: Your Brain on SQL -- A Learner's Guide (Head First).
  Some people may be put off by the style: images, stories, repetition, etc. I would encourage those people to give it a shot. The content is very well put together, thorough, and interesting.
  I will encourage the rest of my team to pick up this book. We will all benefit from the concepts delivered and explained by the Head First team.

• Great information on hove developing softwate
  I first lend this book from collage developer an have read with great enthusiasms and finally ordered my own copy of this book.
  The book gives detailed information on how to developing software from scratch, taken you by hand and leading you de hole way step by step.
  With the different way to present the information en with lot of illustrations its newer a boring read.

Whether you're just beginning to take the plunge into agile development, or you've been sort of trying to do it for a while but don't have a real clear picture of your goal, this... more info
