All I Really Need to Know about Pair Programming I Learned In Kindergarten

Pair programming has such potential that encourages to make two programmers work together in a simple task, roles are defined in this matter, one controlling the computer while the other is the observer, each one has to establish a communication in order to solve the presented problem. “Two minds think better than one”, and it is proven that pair programming gives better software results and is a technique that if it is used by the rules of kindergarten, where the important thing is how every programmer is involved in the problem solution and the communication they have one and another. This simple task that is getting two people to work together in order to accomplish a certain task, its amazing, take for example music, two artists jamming together to perform a greater song, the role they are playing may differ from pair programming, but each musician has their own role in the performance. Some experiences in life presented in different environments could become a perfect metaphor for explaining another idea. Because of the well defined rules the task of pair programming becomes much simpler, it can always be different depending on who you working with, the way individuals see a problem is an abstract way that makes perfect sense to that same individual.
I image how at software corporations could use this technique for developing better software, like the video game industry, the different minds working in something very complex.

I have no more words to say about pair programming, I find interesting the implementation of this activity in schools and universities, this could even introduce new players into the programming world and can be a good pathway for creating new software developed by the various minds of our world. Software could have many shapes, the pursue of perfect shapes depends on the programmer(s).

Dick Gabriel on Lisp

It is quite interesting how the path one take may be altered in a certain way of creation, it is not know that is going to happen in the future, or even what things we would do. Some key events on life brings us where we are right know, you could be a programmer but maybe in some future you will work with plants. Technology is present in all branches, in everything where ingenious and creation is. Working with other branch that is new to your context may improve some things around you, the fact of having more tools at your range may give some performance in what you are doing, in the case of Dick Gabriel, he talks on how technology had helped him. And the way LISP works is understandable if we look at the abstraction of its commitment. With LISP’s creation, programmers had improved in certain areas of computer science, such as AI. With this creation had come an important revolution that had change certain paradigms that programmers lived in. Languages… like LISP has the struc...

The Semicolon Wars

This article, The Semicolon Wars, is quite the argument by telling, why are there many language programs and they differ in syntax and other contexts, well, the author gets most of every explanation out of this. One of the topics mentioned in the article was the way of looking / analysing an entire problem or even, looking at the way of things, abstraction, If you see an object with my eyes, would you see it differently? Some programming languages are meant for some problems, depends on how you see the way of it. It comes to my mind the language... . not programming language, I mean German, the structure of the German language is quite describefull , for instance, take the word Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung , looks a little bit scary, right? but if we look at it divided into the ideas that creates the meaning of this word we could understand why German is very precise. This in English is Land transaction approval transferring resp...
