XPDX March: Ping Pong Pairing >> PIZZA FROM VERSIONONE <<
This venue is no longer open for business.

Description
Pair Programming has many benefits for a team above and beyond coding, yet it's still one of the hardest XP practices to get into. Ping Pong pairing is a lot of fun and is my favourite way to pair. It has a game-like style that instils good pairing and TDD practices. So come along to the next XPDX meeting to try it out. It doesn't matter if you've been pairing for years or want to try it for the first time. This will be a chance to learn from each other. We'll spend a little time getting to know the mechanics of Ping Pong pairing, do a brief demonstration, and then all pair up for over an hour of practice.
Absolutely positively bring a laptop with you. We'll be using Java, JUnit, and Eclipse. A big time saver will be to ensure that you have the Java SDK installed beforehand.
Thanks to VersionOne there'll be pizza for thirty! <<<
Be there at 6:30pm for the pizza. We'll start at 7pm. At 9pm we'll move on to a local bar.
