Join the Codesmith community for a live pair programming workshop. Pair programming is a core part of the Codesmith learning experience, and this session is a practical way to practice technical communication. Coders of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join.
We’ll kick off with a quick intro to pair programming and tips on how to enhance your technical communication.
Then, you’ll be paired up with someone of a similar coding level to work on a challenge. One person will be the driver, writing the code, while the other will be the navigator, guiding the logic. Plus, a mentor will be on hand to help you work through any blocks that come up.
Please note that you’ll need a working microphone in order to participate, and make sure to join on time as you’ll be paired with a partner at the beginning of the workshop.
If this is your first time trying pair programming, we recommend reviewing Codesmith’s guide on How to Technically Communicate to get the most out of the session. Take advantage of this session to practice key programming skills, build confidence, and connect with fellow learners!
This workshop is open to all experience levels! We recommend starting the Precourse Unit (parts 1 and 2) on our free learning platform CSX to set yourself up for success, but no prior experience is required. Whether you’re just curious or ready to begin a new career path, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are .
In order to maintain a supportive and safe learning environment, all event attendees are required to follow Codesmith's Event Code of Conduct . This workshop is a great opportunity to practice technical communication and pair programming.
