Presented at
DEF CON 14 (2006),
Aug. 4, 2006, 11 a.m.
(50 minutes)
Pair programming and test-driven development are proven best practices for producing high quality code quickly. But, because of geographical disparity, they can be difficult to apply to open source projects. This talk addresses how a flexible approach can be taken using open source software to enable this kind of collaboration. Attendees will learn the basics of the techniques, what tools to use (and not to use), and how it can improve their code no matter what language or platform they write it in.
