pair-programming

Anyone got any experience of teams doing pair programming where there is a mixed IDE environment? I'm a long time IntelliJ user, others use Eclipse, which you may have heard of. In my mind pair programming involves a lot of passing the keyboard between the programmers. But every time I get the keyboard I grind to a halt as I don't know to do anything anymore. (It's like suddenly I'm an idiot!) Now I could, probably should, learn my way round Eclipse. (Not starting a holy war here about relative merits.) But I wonder if anyone else has got an opinion? I have not done this in a multi-IDE

Once upon a time there is netbeans plugin called "Developer Collaboration" which allows you make remote pair programming. Now, in Netbeans 6.7, there is no more this "Developer Collaboration" but there something called "Kenai support". Unfortunately Kenai does not seems to have a real time editor and it seems to be usable only for opensource project, but my project is closed source. I switched back to the Netbeans 6.5 but I discovered that the "Developer Collaboration" plugin is no more available for download through the Plugin Manager (from Tools > Plugins) and I'm not able to find it from

My team is beginning to embrace pair programming and some of us are more familiar with Resharper (and other productivity tools) than others. I was watching a DNR TV episode with Mark Miller and there was a Visual Studio plugin he had that showed which keys were pressed. I think this would be a great plugin to have while pairing, as well as doing presentations with other developers. You can see the plugin in action here . Does anyone know if this plugin is publicly available? If not, is there another one similar to it that is available? I think Key Jedi (under the Other section) might be what

Closed . This question is opinion-based. It is not currently accepting answers. Learn more . Want to improve this question? Update the question so it can be answered with facts and citations by editing this post . Do you participate in code peer reviews or practice pair programming, or both? Have you been able to demonstrate an increase in software quality using these practices? What benefits and drawbacks have you observed in the course of practice? What hurdles to implementation did you face? In my own case, our development team pursued peer reviews of a number of different software

Does anyone know of a Visual Studio add-in that allows remote pair programming in Visual Studio? Something along the lines of SubEthaEdit , where all users can edit the same document, live, in realtime. A shared/remote desktop connection where multiple users are in control of the keyboard and mouse is a step in the right direction. However, this solution isn't as good as SubEthaEdit since by default the Visual Studio text editor won't be able to handle simultaneous edits. Personally, having done a fair amount of remote pair programming recently, I prefer Join.me . We don't actually both use
