A Project Launches
Thursday, October 10, 2002

Yesterday we began programming in earnest the J2EE project at work. To help us all start on the same page, three of us programmed together for the entire day. Would that be called tri-programming, or just team programming? I haven't pair programmed for an entire day in a while. It was exhausting, but we made excellent progress. All of us experienced the Test-Driven Development cycle using Cactus. By working together, I was also able to implicitly introduce them to Simple Design. Next I want to introduce Refactoring.

So far the Enterprise JavaBeans book has been excellent.
