Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change by Kent Beck.
A word of caution: extreme programming is not completely proven, and much of
its advice goes against 30 years of software engineering practice. That's not
to say it won't eventually be considered superior, only that there are other
methods that are known to work reasonably well now.
I believe a better book on software development is Rapid Development: Taming
Wild Software Cycles by Steve McConnell.
