Foundations of Agile Python Development

The agile development movement represents the latest advances in tools and techniques intended to boost developer productivity. This is the first book to apply these sought after principles to Python developers, introducing both the tools and techniques built and supported by the Python community. Authored by Jeff Younker, who is perhaps best known for his creation of a popular Python testing framework, this book is sure to be a hit among readers who may have reached their limits of knowledge regarding the Python language, yet are seeking to improve their understanding of how sound processes can boost productivity to unparalleled heights.


Jeff Younker once trained in mathematics and biochemistry at the University of Houston, but was lost to the world of computers early in his trials. He has been employed in one capacity or another in the world of scripts and programming for over 15 years. He's been developing in Python for the last several years after a long stint working with Java and Perl.
