How Pair Programming Really Works

petikan dari "How Pair Programming Really Works" by Stuart Wray

As a dictionary defnition, I’d say that pair programming is a technique in which two people sit down, literally side by side, and write a pro-gram at the same computer. When Kent Beck originally coined the term, he described two programmers working at different levels of abstraction Laurie Williams and Robert Kessler made this idea more concrete, using the metaphor of one programmer being the “driver” and the other the “navigator.” In this metaphor, the driver controls the keyboard and focuses on the immediate task of coding, and the navigator acts as a reviewer, observing and thinking about more strategic architectural issues.

Simply put, developers are saying that Java slows them down. “There were big promises that Java would solve incompatibility problems [across platforms]. But now there are different versions and different downloads, creating complications,” says Peter Thoneny, CEO of Twiki.net, which produces a certified version of the open source Twiki wiki-platform software. “It has not gotten easier. It’s more complicated,” concurs Ofer Ronen, CEO of Sendori, which routes domain traffic to online advertisers and ad networks. Sendori has moved to Ruby on Rails. Ronen says Ruby offers pre-built structures — say, a shopping cart for an e-commerce site — that you’d have to code from the ground up using Java.

Java Common Problem

ni aku nak share sikit common error explanation dlm java... error yg paling biasa jumpa bila CLASSPATH tak properly set, so ada missing file/library tak jumpa... selain dari tu, guna multiple jdk/jre version berbeza pun bleh ada error.. tapi yg paling penting masa debug java, tengok type of exception yg keluar macam NullPointerException, ClassNotFoundException, IllegalArgumentException, etc... lepas tu boleh study punca error sebab dah ader target/mission... masa debug program pun mesti ada target...heher
