Looking to pair

[Mike Pence <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys. Hope that this is appropriate for this list: I am looking for
someone who is willing to pair program with me (although it would probably
be mostly me on the watching side). I need to get strong with Wicket,
Spring, and maybe even Neo4J as quickly as possible, as I have committed to
using these technologies on a big new project. And I know from experience
that pair programming with someone who is very proficient in those
technologies is the quickest way to get there.

I posted a job listing on Elance for a similar arrangement, but if any of
you Wicket masters would let me look over your virtual shoulder for a few
hours sometime, it would be much appreciated.

FYI, I have been programming for 20+ years (VB, Delphi, Java, Ruby, etc.)
so it is not like I am a total newbie.

Thanks in advance.

Mike Pence

Hands-on head-first head-banging is the way to go. Watching aside won't
take you fare and won't float long. Unless you just want to manage ;)

Remote pairing works, too, with some effort.

I am working my way through Wicket in Action, and I am definitely very
excited, at this point. But I know that watching a real Wicket expert in
action would be extremely informative.

[Paul Borș <pa...@bors.ws>]

Have you glimpsed over the few books offered under the Books section on Wicket's home page?

In my experience pair programming works for two developers within the same physical location when one can explain the other quickly why it's best to archive something one way rather than the other.

Have a great day,

As Martin M. said "Hands-on head-first head-banging is the way to go. Watching aside won't
take you fare and won't float long."

If you're a manager, why even bother? You should be confident in your staff and they should follow your methodologies. I know as a team lead that the involvement between management and development can be crucial, but still... You ought to know better !!! 

Have a great day,

Thanks for the feedback! Are there some projects on github that would be
good to watch?

No. It is the correct thread.
I suggest Mike Pence to watch some open source project, i.e. being notified
when the project receives some commits.
He actually asks exactly for this.

Hi,

You can "watch" some Wicket project in GitHub.
For example:
https://github.com/l0rdn1kk0n/wicket-bootstrap
https://github.com/sebfz1/wicket-jquery-ui
https://github.com/wicketstuff/core
