Introduction

This book is the result of a Hackathon.

Whilst the Software Developers were busy hacking code, the Agile Community Of Interest decided to hack around on a book.

During that Hackathon, in 2016, we came together to write a book in just 48 hours.

The result is this book you have here.

We appreciate your support and we really do hope you enjoy the book. We certainly enjoyed creating it for you.

Thanks,
Rob Lambert et al
