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

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

Learning Competencies

  • 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

Summary

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!).

GPS-Specific Instructions

  • After you finish this exercise, copy and paste your collaborative code into a local HTML and CSS document and push this new page up to your github.io website.
  • You will 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 so you can preview your page using 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)

Release 0: Wireframe the site

Discuss how you want the page to look. Draw a wireframe or use a wireframing tool with your pair. It doesn't have to be perfect, but get a rough idea of how you want the site to look

Release 1: Start with HTML

Include: a title and your names on your site. Style it based on your wireframe.

Release 2: Discuss Pair Programming

Together, discuss and describe why you think pair-programming is important to DBC. Code up what you've discussed according to the wireframe you made. Also discuss what pairing means and define driver and navigator. You will want to compare these on the website.

Release 3: Dress it up!

Use CSS to make it look nice. Include pictures, outside fonts, etc.

Release 4: 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 your reflection to your page and style it as well.

Release 5: Copy, commit, and sync

When you are finished, copy your code into the gps1.1.css and gps1.1.html files. Make sure your css from the <style> section is in the CSS file and remove it from the HTML section. Update the html file. Then, test that everything is still working by saving them and running them together from your computer.

Commit and sync your changes onto the phase_0_unit_1 repository.

Release 6: Give Feedback

Don't forget to give feedback to your pair!
