The Ultimate Developer Collaboration Technique: Ping Pong Pair Programming

599 views

Published on

Pair programming is challenging for uninitiated developers. It has long been considered to yield higher quality code but many developers avoid it because of the challenges and the changes to their workflow. Ping Pong Pair Programming, however is a technique that is easy to learn, addresses the frustrations of traditional pair programming, and encourages other development practices that also yield higher quality code. In this talk we describe the challenges of traditional pair programming, how Ping Pong Pair Programming overcomes them, layout the basics of Ping Pong Pair Programming and then demonstrate how it works in practice.
