What is Pair Programming
Two programmers working side-by-side, collaborating on the same design, algorithm, code or test. One programmer, the driver, has control of the keyboard/mouse and actively implements the program. The other programmer, the observer, continuously observes the work of the driver to identify tactical (syntactic, spelling, etc.) defects and also thinks strategically about the direction of the work. On demand, the two programmers can brainstorm any challenging problem. Because the two programmers periodically switch roles, they work together as equals to develop software.

How to submit your homework:

• You will be turning in 3 items when submitting homework
  1 - Zipped file (submit on website, see below)
  2 - Print out of code
  3 - Self Evaluation of code (example of Self Evalulation)

When you create the project you will name it using the convention of Name, Homework #, and Section #.
Last Name First Name HW02 Sec01
Example: McConeAndyHW01Sec01 (no spaces)

This will create a folder by the same name.

• When your project is done you will need to zip the folder and name it using your last name, first name, homework #, and section #.
• Submit the zipped file >>>>> HOMEWORK, on this page <<<<<
• Turn in a print out the code as well as self evaluation

'    Project:   Hello World
' Programmer:   Andy McCone
'       Date:   April 8th 2005
'Description:   Create a project that will display a message to the user

'               has an Exit button that shuts down the program. 
    

2) Use comments to explain your logic

3) Make the code readable (use spacing and comments)

4) Use naming conventions for objects, variables and constants
- Create a meaningful name
- Use mixed case for objects and variables
- Use upper case for Constants

5) All objects on a form that a user could use should have a logical tab order (tab index page 73 )

6) Use Access Keys (page 72)

7) Use Accept Cancel Buttons (when appropriate, page 73)

8) Format output

9) Use Option Strict On

10) Use input validation for user input
