A Pair Programming Workshop
summary
Hands-on workshop runs three constrained pairing exercises that turn theory into code: pairing ping pong (TDD back-and-forth), farsighted Navigator (driver types only what navigator designates), and an improv round with no talking and frequent keyboard switches. Teams use laptops and unit tests in JS Python Java or PHP to implement a Roman numeral translator in 10–20 minute rounds, iterating from hardcoded cases to subtraction rules; the workbook claim is that these rules reliably produce working increments and better collaboration.
