 " Share the experiences of practitioners in Extreme Programming (XP). 
 Here you will see RealCode, solve real problems, hone your XP skills.  
 Participate. " (Author -- PaulSimmons)

this is not just another XP site (see OtherXPSites). We think the only way to learn XP is by DoingIt. We were lucky and found some time to suspend our XpScepticism and just tried DoingIt. A lot of people never find this time and miss out. We thought we'd make a sandpit where XpApprentices could meet. As DoingPairedProgramming is very much a part of XP, we decided we'd start a workshop (XtC) where you can bring along your laptop and index cards and we can all help each other with XP, which is the path to DeveloperNirvana.

Our intent is not to replace or duplicate the content of other sites, but rather to complement information that is already available. Our hope is to tackle some interesting problems, monitor how they progress and comment on them with references back to the original sources of XP. We do this by relating pages about how we do things to the pages about why we do things which are found on OtherXPSites. To this end we have been creating page names starting with the word "Doing", e.g. DoingTheSimplestThing.

TheseThingsThatLookLikeClassesOrMethods are just the way you make links in the Wiki system. See GettingStarted.

This site is trying to use the practise of Extreme Programming (XP) to evolve itself (See XPDeveloperStories). It's using the developement of a wiki clone as an example of how to practise extreme programming.
