<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Would love to make the May meeting if
there's pairing involved.<br>
<br>
There's some great videos on pairing on YT - I was just collecting
a few:<br>

<br>
I also like the Wikipedia article:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_programming">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_programming</a><br>
<br>
Although it seems to be suffering from overuse of primary sources
- and it was interesting to read about the Wikipedia policies
here.<br>
<br>
But either which way, I'm really excited about the educational
potential of pair programming ...<br>

I meant pair programming indeed.<br>

If you did have 40 minutes, what would you do with it to
kickstart a peer coding session? I imagine you could
introduce the idea (maybe with a short demo using some willing
or scripted participants) and then point folk at a signup for
a less time constrained event. Is that the sort of thing you
meant?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>In a nutshell yes, that's what I meant.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>To give a bit more context, I will take my case as an
example, but I'm sure I'm not the only one in that situation.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I don't have colleagues at $dayjob or friend that to is
proficient in ruby to just discuss how to do x and y.<br>
</div>
<div>I'm now at a stage where I know enough to get some stuff
done.<br>
I look at the some code and try to learn from it,<br>
That said, it probably look and feel like hobbyist work.<br>
but i find difficult to achieve "beautiful code" yet.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>So the proposal would be to try to make junior people like
me meet more advance programmers, to talk, write code, write
test, review code, etc.<br>
</div>
<div>I think it can be beneficial for both mentor and mentee.<br>
The mentee gets to be better at all things ruby.<br>
The mentor will develop leadership, communication and managing
skills.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I also don't think that LRUG meeting format allows pair
programming.<br>
</div>
<div>I would be keen on organising another event to do with pair
programming, if there is any interest.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this explain better what I meant than the ambiguous
2 liner with I started with.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,<br>
Flo<br>
