Pair Programming

Ability to collaborate and learn from other progammers
With additional sets of eyes will translate to better QA, testing, and more efficient coding

Understand their definition of being a driver and navigator
Pair programming is defined being with 2 programmers working together off of the same code
Navigator is responsible for defining the code being written, checking for syntax error, reseaching new ideas, guding the driver
Driver is responsible to entering the code, mindful of error, and collaboring on the solution

Great way to quickly bring new programmers up-to-speed
Even for seasoned programmers, it's a great way to learn other people's best practices and approaches so that they can incorporate into their own style
Better QA and reduce code error

For seasoned programmers, it reduces their efficiency and productivity because they typically like to work on their own.
If there are different personalities and learning styles, it can lead to frustration and conflict

My Reflections

We talked thru the wireframing piece and discussed what we wanted to have on this web page in advance of going thru the Navigator and Driver role playing
It was a good guided pairing session. We did a good job with both the Navigator and Driver role
I understood the benefit of pair programmer because while I was driving and coding the web page, my partner helped to identify misspellings and errors
As a new programmer, I can tell that it will be a great way for me to learn
