Abstract

There is ongoing discussion regarding the benefits of collaborative programming in software development. This paper presents the results of a collaborative programming research conducted at the Open University of Israel which is a distance learning institution. The research was conducted during the academic year of 2005 in the course "Advanced Programming in Java Workshop", given in the Computer Science Department. The workshop is based primarily on J2EE technologies and requires the students to hand in a final project. We investigated the collaborative programming work in the workshop. Our results support the use of collaborative programming as an effective programming technique.
