>>><br>>> What exactly is peer coding? Is it like code review? 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>

<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>
