My preferred method for training right now is "promiscuous pairing" http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&#...

As for hardware setup, the best I have used is: machines with cloned monitors, two mice, and two keyboards, both side by side so the developers can talk in low tones and not bother anyone else. I do this now at work, and it is a lot of fun, and it really averages to be that we get done more than twice what we would work normally alone.

@JackMorgan and @dmiladinov, you two have eerily similar timing and views on this one :) Any chance you're co-workers and happen to know Steve?

Well, I am Steve, the author, and yep, we used to work together a few years back.
