.NET Rocks! Mob Programming with the MobProgramming Team

Mob Programming with the MobProgramming Team

Episode #912 Thursday, October 3, 2013

Carl and Richard try something new - doing a mob style interview about mob programming! Mob programming takes agile to a new extreme where several people (more than two) work together to write code... resulting in very high quality code! The conversation digs into the actual process of writing code (drivers and navigators), the various roles that participants fall into, how more minds end up with more code reuse, testing, QA and the great sense of connection that comes with mob programming. You gotta try this!
