Getting into Agile Software Development - some essential Reading
There have are lots sources on the topic of Agile Software Development. This kind of software development is the Zen of writing applications, games and websites. But where do I start?
Basics
There are a lot of websites, books and blogs dedicated to that topic. I just collected some essential reading on the web to get a first understanding of the concept of agile software development. First I recommend to grasp the model of iterative and incremental development to get an idea of continuous design and constant improvement.
A must have is the Agile Manifesto that really really provides the basic thoughts. Then you should take a quick look on two essays from Scott Ambler: Becoming Agile and Remaining Agile.
Dig Deeper
Now you're done. You have a basic understanding on agile. If you want to dig deeper, than read about Extreme Programming (XP) or Agile Architecture Modelling.
There is also related reading on Digital Tools:

Hi,
Wow. I wish it were that easy (smile).
One other resource you may want to check out is www.implementingscrum.com.
I publish a weekly comic strip and blog about stuff I see in real-world Scrum environments.
May be another useful resource!
