The October event for the Minneapolis/St. Paul .NET User Group was on Ping Pong Pair Programming, the combination of test-driven and pair-programming techniques in which one developer writes a unit test, a second developer writes application code to pass the test, and then they switch places.
I will be updating this post with the code written during the event, my short slide presentation, and possibly some other media.
Thanks again for attending my presentation, I hope you had a lot of fun. Please leave me any feedback on the event here, especially if you did or did not like the deviation from the standard lecture format of the group.
Thanks for coming everyone, I had a great time. We used test-driven techniques to build a component that’s capable of evaluating games of Blackjack. Most of the code and tests were written by audience members, which was fun because your solutions were not only different than mine, but in a couple of cases much better than the ones I had worked out ahead of time.
