Abstract :
The software industry has practiced pair programming (two programmers working side by side at one computer on the same problem) with great success for years, but people who haven´t tried it often reject the idea as a waste of resources. The authors demonstrate that using pair programming in the software development process yields better products in less time-and happier, more confident programmers
