Research direction

Read the linked mentored pair programming guide first, then choose a programming task such as a CodeWars kata. Book a session through the #cyf-pair-programming Slack canvas, or ask in the channel if no times are available; done means completing the session, explaining your process, writing and checking the code, and receiving feedback.

🏝️ Priority Stretch 📅 Sprint 1 Module-Legacy-Code Optional Submit:None
Learning Objectives
  • Talk aloud when thinking about a problem.
  • Write code in front of someone else.
  • Analyse your strategies for solving problems in code.
Why are we doing this?

Pair programming is an excellent way to develop programming and communication skills. It is often much easier to work through something when working on something 1-to-1. It is also helps you to prepare for technical interviews when you may need to code in front of other people or explain your solution to a problem.

Pick one piece of programming you're doing (we recommend a CodeWars kata) and pair up with a volunteer to work on it together.

See the mentored pair programming guide for guidance.

Book time with a volunteer using one of the scheduling links in the #cyf-pair-programming Slack channel's canvas. If there are no available times, please post in #cyf-pair-programming.

Remember, as a learner, you will need to explain your thought process, plan out what to do, write the code and check it works.

Submission & Review

You will get feedback from the volunteer during the session. If there are specific topics you would like to receive feedback on then let them know at the start of the session so they know what to focus on.
