 ====== Llewellyn Falco and Maaret Pyhajarvi - Strong-Style Pairing ======
-====== Premise ======
 Pair programming is one of the most controversial of 12 core extreme programming practices. One of the reasons for this is that many of the styles of pair programming have troublesome traps for people. This is especially true when a pair has significant differences in skill or knowledge. Strong-style pair programming is a method of pairing designed to avoid these traps. In strong-style, “for an idea to go from your head to the computer, it must go through someone else’s hands”. We will do a lot of exercises to demonstrate both the techniques of strong-style pairing, why it works and why it succeeds when other pairing styles fail.

 Really like the idea of using this as a learning approach.
-New ideas about how to teach pairing with iPhone.
+New ideas about how to teach pairing with iPhone. To teach the concepts did simple exercises where:
+  * Divide room into "people with iPhones" and "people with other phones". Have each person pair up with a person from the "other" camp.
+  * Start with normal pairing - play a game on the phone. Then swap and do with strong-style - play game on the phone using style - discuss difference in the what you see.
+  * Talk about communication pattern (intent, location, details) and do again using strong style. Discuss what has changed.
+  * Learning exercise - split room based on languages spoken and pair language with non-language. Examine retention by first simple pairing, then strong style with where the driver takes instruction from the foreign language speaker. Even though pretty passive (voice activated keyboard) higher retention when strong style is used.
+  * Then do with dictation and / or coding.

   - Do mini retro at the end
   - You stick better as not just watching expert. You learn more. Foreign language exercise
-  - Try at Dean?
+  - Definitely need to try this in coaching engagements
   - Rules of Pairing - Try It (stop religious), yes and ...., do first explain later, look for wins
   - If two good way, do both. Actually end up doing one as people won't care any more.
