Pair programming is a process of writing code which allows for both the overview and detail of the code to be monitored. It is made up of a pair of coders with one being the driver and one being the navigator.
Pair programming is important to EDA because it reinforcese that good code is written in teams not by indiviuals. It allows for bugs errors and mistakes to be caught straight away.
The driver types and the navigators talks.
It's a lot faster to work out problems. Two minds are better than one at coding. We enjoyed it, it was good fun. What worked was getting a webpage together in an hour. We stumbled a bit with getting use to the new tools.
