Techniques for Paired Programming

About this video

Pair programming is a complex practice requiring skill to master. There are many resources on pair programming, but sometimes engineers are dropped into a pairing session with little preparation and expected to just figure it out. Having some tools to help smooth the process can be very useful.

In this lighting talk I’ll give a brief overview of the following techniques and where they work well:
* Ping-pong pairing
* Pomodoro pairing
* Strong Style pairing
* Digging for Gold
