[Cialug] Tag Team Programming

[Chris Freeman]

We do pair programming (and TDD) at my work place as well. I feel that it
works extremely well.

To clear the air, here are some definitions:

Agile: this is more of a project management methodology than a programming
practice. Related to Lean Programming.
TDD: Test driven Development - literally writing your unit and integration
tests before writing your code.
Pair Programming: One person 'drives' (sits at the keyboard), the other
person sits next to them and helps think.
Extreme Programming: A combination of Agile practices and certain programing
practices (e.g., TDD, pair programming, ...)

I've got experience in TDD and Pair programming, so I can answer questions
about those. I have not practical experience with Agile or Lean, but I can
answer some questions. I can't answer questions about Extreme Programming.
