XP Day DC 2005 presentations are now available from this site. As we get links to the speaker's resources, we will make them available. See the Program Details links at the sidebar and click on the presentation you'd like to download. We will post it when it becomes available.

Are you looking for an opportunity to learn about Extreme Programming, but unsure about spending an entire week at a large, international XP conference? We understand. That's why we have brought the successful XP Day concept to North America, this time to the Greater Washington DC area.

XP Day is a one-day event with activities for anyone interested in Extreme Programming, whether you're:

• An executive wondering how XP can improve the contribution your software organization makes to the bottom line,
• A manager looking for ways to increase your team's effectiveness,
• A skeptic, hoping to challenge the most experienced and outspoken XP practitioners,
• A programmer itching to experience a real XP project room,
• An experienced practitioner, hoping to share ideas with other experienced practitioners.

Tutorials

We are fortunate to have respected leaders of the XP community providing world-class instruction in the fundamentals of XP.

• J. B. Rainsberger will provide an introduction to XP.
• Jeff Nielsen will show you an XP approach to communicating requirements.

Open Space

You can collaborate intensively with both local and invited advanced practitioners on issues that challenge you most. If the tutorials don't cover it, you can work through your burning questions in Open Space.

Panel Discussion

We are pleased to invite clients of Digital Focus to share their stories about How XP Has Changed Our Lives. To get a head start on your company's transition to XP, or to find out more about the benefits and pitfalls of adopting XP practices, ask those who have experienced it!

Project Room

If you're looking to dive in and immerse yourself in XP, join the XP Project Room, where you'll have the opportunity to work on project with respected experts. Not sure what's going on? No problem! Join the project any time and someone will bring you up to speed quickly, just like on a real XP project!
