Through a field study where a group of researchers and students aimed to learn XP through practice, we gathered qualitative data about the different practices of XP and programmers' impression of them in order to do get knowledge on how the different practices work. Findings regarding the most well-known practices are presented in this paper and to a great extent seem to verify claims from the literature. However, some difficulties in the practices are reported.
