We’re giving a lightning talk tomorrow the book in Warsaw today at (probably) biggest R conference out there. But today we’ve run a half-day workshop trying a new spin on the pair programming – Pair Programming Ceilidh!
Have you heard about ‘Pair-Programming Ceilidh*’? Today at useR! – The R User Conference Brittany Blankinship with Pawel Orzechowski will do our best to cause chaos and then recover from it with grace and sass. If you’re at the conference it is still not too late to join us after lunch!
*Ceilidh is a Scottish tradition group dance / team sport where you switch partners in a complicated mathematical pattern. To the music.
We were joined by 12 curious and inspiring people who coded for 3 hours changing drivers and partners and exploring how Pair-Programming can be used with their teams and their students.
If you’d like us to run a similar sessions in your organisation or at a conference you’re running, do get in touch.
At some point the best way to demonstrate what we mean was to just show it. We showed some basic Ceilidh moves ourselves, but also a quick youtube search meant that we could show some great ceilidh moves:
