What are the 6 reasons for pair programming?
- greater efficiency
- Engaged collaboration
- Learning from fellow students
- Social skills
- Job interview readiness
- Work environment readiness
In your experience, which of these reasons have you found most beneficial?
- greater efficiency ### honestly the hardest part is getting started. so when I do pair programing it allows me to bounce off ideas with others and since they have other perspectives and other skills that smoothly get a part of a project to start.
How does pair programming work?
- someone is a driver and the other is a navigator. With these roles established you have one person who is the navigator who is only speaking and the driver who is the one actually doing the coding. This allows a fully collaborative effort someone gets muscle memory from typing the code and the other is challenged in interpreting what they want done in the code without them coding themselves.
