- Remote Pair Programming SessionLink visible for attendees
To complete your RSVP for this event, you must RSVP on our website. You can do so here!
Join the Codesmith community remotely for an online pair programming session! We'll start the session with an overview of what pair programming is and how to focus on improving your technical communication in the session.
All skill levels are welcomed and encouraged.
Pair programming is central to Codesmith's learning style. If you're looking to prepare for our programs, this session is a great chance to focus on the concepts we test for. We'll also have a mentor available to help you through blocks you may run into! The way we conduct pair programming involves two programmers working together with 1 workstation. One person is the driver, writing the code, and one person is the navigator, talking through the logic.
If this is your first time Pair Programming, we encourage you to review Codesmith’s Guide on How to Technically Communicate - Best Practices!
Note: You will need a functioning camera and microphone to participate. Please join early as you will be paired with a partner at the beginning of the workshop.
Price: Always free!
Experience Level: All experience levels are welcome. We recommend getting started on our free JavaScript learning platform CSX and working on the Precourse unit before the workshop.
