You've heard people rave about the benefits of pair programming - and you're curious, but a little skeptical. What is it really? How does it work? How long does it take to experience the benefits? Those are valid questions and we’ve put together a workshop to explain it, give you the right mindset, and let you experience the magic for yourself.

Eric and Neha are two software engineers at Pivotal Labs who work with clients on this every day! They pair program 8 hours a day and help their clients identify the right project, techniques, and practices to make it work. We want to share our learnings and mitigation techniques - the hands-on way. Attend our interactive workshop to learn more about the theory behind pair programming, practice applying new tools to improve your pair programming experience, and get a feel for what what successful pair programming feels like for you.

To do this, we will be pairing you up and taking you through three rounds of pair programming where you focus on a new persona each round: 1) on yourself, 2) on your pair, 3) on the system and help draw clearer lines of how these separate pieces interact. By the end, you will have paired and completed three programming exercises and experienced what pair programming feels like when it’s not going well and when it is.
