The Art of Pair Programming

With the assumption that coding is social, let’s review various pair programming styles so that we can identify when it is best to utilize this approach. This talk starts with an overview of pair programming and why you should consider adding this skill to your tool belt. Next, we will discuss various styles of pairing so that we can see how they can be effectively used during development. Finally, we will discuss a hybrid approach to pair programming that pulls together the best parts of each pairing style to form what I call asynchronous pair programming.
