The second edition is better than the first, for the theory of constraints chapter alone. Planning XP is an important one as well. It gives a better idea of the flow of a real XP project. Good book.

You show a picture of (and link to) the first edition, which has been out of print for a while. Is that the one you read, or did you read the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0321278658/" rel="nofollow">second edition</a>? I ask because the two books have some substantial differences, and some prefer one or the other. I'm always curious who likes which. Hi, Nivi.
