Many programmers don't understand that Agile provides a process, methodologies to develop complex software. Since I am near, one book is never enough for me and I proud to collect a couple of best books on Agile development methodologies which taught me not only how to use Agile or Scrum or XP but why use Agile? Which I believe more important to learn than just standing on a Scrum meeting and saying what you are going to do today or what you have completed yesterday. You learn all basic information like vocabulary, purpose, real-world usage, terminology which is important to understand what people are talking about a Scrum or Sprint Review/Planning meeting. From that experience, I learned that, when you have confusion and want to learn more about new technology, nothing is better than a book or online training courses to start with. The confusion lasted for a long time because I was afraid of asking questions (afraid of being perceived as dumb and someone who wastes time on meetings) and only getting information in bits and pieces and I wasn't good at searching books at that time. I was confused about Agile as some people say its Scrum and Sprint, other ways its XP and Kanban, etc. I pretty much used to this model of software development until I was introduced to Agile development methodologies in my next company. You try, fail, and then with every version you get an improved version of the software. When I started my career, it was all waterfall model.
