			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have decided to do a dead simple book review every Sunday.  Some of this is to just share what I&#8217;m reading.  Rather than go with some complex rating system a book will either be a thumbs up or a thumbs down.  Thumbs up means I highly recommend reading the book.  A thumbs down means read something else unless you have free time on your hands.  I will then do a one or two sentence at most comment on the book.<br />
<a href="http://derekneighbors.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thumbs-up.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6428" title="thumbs-up" src="http://derekneighbors.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thumbs-up.jpg" alt="thumbs-up" width="250" height="267" /></a><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67833.Extreme_Programming_Explained_Embrace_Change"><img src="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170680277l/67833.jpg" alt="" width="226" height="284" /></a><br />
<strong>Take Away:</strong> This is the current bible of good software development practices.  Kent unchains the disciplined programmer by introducing him to the team.<br />
