Pair Programming Illuminated

About this book

Pair programming is a simple straightforward concept. Two programmers work side-by-side at one computer continuously collaborating on the same design algorithm code and test. It produces a higher quality of code in about half the time than that produced by the summation of their solitary efforts. However nothing is simple where people and personalities are involved--especially people who are accustomed to working alone. The leap to pair programming for a variety of software development projects is one that yields many benefits. However it is also one that requires careful thought and planning.
