##U1.W2: GPS 1.1: Your First Pairing Session!

DO NOT LOOK AT THIS CHALLENGE UNTIL YOUR FIRST GUIDED PAIRING SESSION!!

Learning Objectives

  • Use HTML tags to place content on a website
  • Apply CSS to position elements on an HTML page
  • Compare different HTML tags to one another
  • Examine pair-programming concepts

Purpose

Welcome to your first Guided Pairing Session (GPS!) We are excited to have you in Phase 0 and to work with you to get you prepared for an exciting time at DBC.

This GPS is designed to help you examine pair programming and the roles of driver and navigator.

Since this is your first pairing session, it is important to have a good check-in (so don't forget!).

Directions

  • You need to fork this gist so you have it in your GitHub account. Check to make sure you can navigate to your gists from your main GitHub account page.
  • You will then be directed to Stypi.com, where your instructor will have a stypi file ready for you. Because we cannot actually link a stylesheet to an HTML page in stypi, we will be placing CSS between the <style> tags. It will be your job to put the correct material in the correct file after the session. **This is not good practice, we are only doing it because of stypi.
  • Now you are ready to begin! Your goal is to design a website that introduces the concept of pair programming! (You get to figure out how to present it on the page)
  1. Discuss how you want the page to look. Draw a wireframe and write pseudocode with your pair.
  2. Include: a title and your names.
  3. Together, discuss and describe why you think pair-programming is important to DBC. Introduce the concept and explain why it's important on your site.
  4. Finally, discuss what pairing means and explain what driver and navigator mean. You will want to compare these on the website.
  5. Dress it up! Make it look nice. Include pictures, outside fonts, etc.
  6. Now, reflect with your pair. What was it like to pair for the first time? Did you enjoy it? What worked? What didn't work? Add that to your page and style it as well.

When you are finished, copy your code into the two files. Make sure your css from the <style> section is in the CSS file and remove it from the HTML section. Update your gist. Then, test that everything is still working by saving them and running them together from your computer.
