Pair Programming Techniques

Pair programming is a collaborative software development technique where two programmers work together at one computer. One person, called the "driver," writes the code, while the other, the "navigator," reviews each line and offers guidance. This dynamic allows for immediate feedback and problem-solving, enhancing code quality and sharing knowledge. Techniques include "ping-pong," where roles switch frequently, and "strong-style," where the navigator directs the coding effort more assertively. The approach fosters teamwork, improves learning, and can lead to faster, more effective development, making it popular in agile programming environments.
