Whose Line of Code Is It Anyway?

30 minute beginner seminar

Description/Proposal

You might know the game of ping-pong, aka table tennis. You might know pair programming. But have you ever thought of putting them together? No, we don't pass the keyboard by smacking it with a paddle. It's much less violent and more useful than that, as a technique to combine pairing and test-driven development (not really ping-pong) in a fun way.

This talk will demonstrate Ping-Pong Pair Programming, on a problem chosen by the audience, in a language chosen by the audience. If time allows, we will also demonstrate "Smart@$$" Ping-Pong Pair Programming, in which each dev tries to force the other into doing the actual hard work.
