Erlang Solutions: Pair Programming
As a junior software developer, finding the right tools and techniques to help you learn a new language or technology can make a huge difference. While spending the last few months learning Erlang and Elixir, one of the techniques that I have found really helpful is pair programming.
I will be breaking down the concept of pair programming and my experiences with it so far, including the benefits and different ways of utilizing this programming style.
