<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I try to do some pair programming at
our regular Wednesday night meetups - it's been mainly JavaScript
recently:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.meetup.com/London-AI-Class/">http://www.meetup.com/London-AI-Class/</a><br>
<br>
There's also remote pair programming which gets round alot of the
logistical issues:<br>
<br>

<br>
of course meeting in person is more compelling for many ...<br>

<div>If not, I'd definitely be up for helping organise something
with you Flo. I imagined a sort of weekly evening meetup where
you can work on open source projects with others. We could
also have some time for people to present their own open
source projects and gain contributors and/or traction.</div>

<div>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>

I also like the Wikipedia article:<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>

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>
<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>
