Only if Eclipse had a plugin that allowed virtual pair programming. It would be nice to pair program at home. I wonder how the data that is gathered would look as compared to real life pair programming. I don't know if the the development process would see same results. Although I don't know how we would gather real life pair programming data to compare it.
Me thinking in class. Stop reading if you want :D While not listening to the instructor talk about nested for-loops (I'm taking a php class...), I started thinking about the virtual pair programming process and our upcoming addition, hackyJournal. Rather than have the hacker record what he is doing in a hackyJournal GUI, what if the hacker's partner wrote the entries into the hackyJournal? By writing down what his/her partner was doing while pair-programming and having the original hacker review the results after, would a better understanding of the system occur? I don't know if that would generate interesting results. Just a thought. ;p austen On 9/27/05, Philip Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here's an interesting facility: built-in support for distributed peer > programming. > > Given an appropriate sensor for JBuilder, this would allow all sorts of > interesting > empirical studies: > > (1) compare productivity/quality metrics obtained from building code with vs. > without > peer programming; > (2) determine how often groups who say they peer program actually do peer > program; > (3) determine how often peer programming actually impacts on the code (i.e. > how often > does the person not 'driving' actually make a significant change, or do they > just sleep > in the background); > (4) develop a taxonomy of 'micro-processes' for peer programming. > > Cheers, > Philip > > ------------ Forwarded Message ------------ > Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 12:52 PM -0500 > From: Borland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Philip Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Borland JBuilder 2006 - Just Released > > Speed up web application development and productivity with real time Virtual > Peer > Programming from Borland. > > JBuilder 2006 from Borland is the first IDE that supports Virtual Peer > Programming. > Whether your development partners are down the hall or on another continent, > JBuilder 2006 makes development just as collaborative as if you were sharing > the > same keyboard. > > Our exclusive peer-to-peer collaboration feature allows distributed > development teams to > jointly design, edit and debug applications in real time.
