Pair programming sounds simple, but there are a lot of different methods on how to do it, a lot of mistakes that can be made and it’s not always easy to get started. With this talk, I want to give an introduction to the different ways of pair programming, talk about some myths – and facts – and give you some ideas on how to get started. After this talk, you will know the difference between strong and traditional styles of pair programming and why most people do pair thinking rather than pair programming.

„Pair programming is an agile software development technique
in which two programmers work together at one workstation.
One, the driver, writes code while the other, the observer or navigator,
reviews each line of code as it is typed in.
The two programmers switch roles frequently.“
Wikipedia
