It can take some practice - and some developers are rather resistant to it (control issues). > It was actually physically exhausting for both of us Yes, it's definitely more intense than solo development but, with practice, most people who stick at it say they find it very productive and they produce much better code with far fewer bugs. I've done some pair programming but not enough to really settle into it. I've taken a couple of hands-on course where we have been made to pair program and I do find that that really helps with advanced topics since if (either of) you get stuck, your partner can provide input or take over for a while. My current employer is entirely distributed so any pair programming has to be done via screen sharing (with iChat) so we don't do it as much as I'd like right now. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:345713 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
