Motivation

Master programming

through practice

What does good programming mean for you? What do you want to get out of the day? How do you want to apply this tomorrow?

Agenda

• • • 9: 10: Demo of TDD and pair programming 9: 20: Randori style Leap Years kata with everyone 9: 40: Paired style Prime Factors 10: Retrospective 10: 30: Paired style Prime Factors, take 2 11: 00: Coding dojo 2: Romans if you’re slow, Yahtzee if you’re quick, minesweeper if you’re smart 12: 00: Retrospective 12: 15: Lunch (? ) 13: 00: Extreme startup – first round 13: 30: Break 13: 45: Extreme startup – second round 15: 45: Wrap-up

TDD

TDD No code without test Just enough test to red Just enough code to green (+ refactor!)

Pair programming

Ping/pong Driver/Navigator

Failing test Write code Failing test

Failing test Write code Refactor code and tests Failing test

What benefits can you get from pair programming?

Kata 0: Leap Year

Kata 1: Prime factors

Kata: Prime factors 1 => [] 2 => [2] 3 => [3] 4 => [2, 2] … 2*2*13*17*23*23 => [2, 2, 13, 17, 23]

How did your choice of language help/hurt? What tests did you start with? Which tests didn’t help you? Did you change drivers at good frequency? How did you determine next test? How did the solution end up looking?

What surprised you? What did you learn? What do you want to achieve next round?

Kata 2 a: Minesweeper

Given: var minefield = new Minefield([ ". . ", ". *. *", ". . . *“ ])

What surprised you? What did you learn? What do you want to achieve next round?

How did your choice of language help/hurt? What tests did you start with? Which tests didn’t help you? Did you change drivers at good frequency? How did you determine next test? How did the boundary conditions affect your test and code?

Kata 2 b: Yahtzee

Kata: Yahtzee ({1, 1, 1}, «ones» } => 5 ({1, 1, 1}, «sixes» } => 0 ({1, 1, 1}, «yahtzee» } => 50 Ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes Pair, two pairs, three of a kind, four of a kind, full house Yahtzee Little straight, big straight Chance

What surprised you? What did you learn? What do you want to achieve next round?

How did your choice of language help/hurt? What tests did you start with? Which tests didn’t help you? Did you change drivers at good frequency? How did you determine next test? What is ({2, 2, 3, 6, 6}, «pair» )?

Kata 2 c: Romans

Kata: Romans 1 => I 5 => V 1999 => MCMXCIX

What surprised you? What did you learn? What do you want to achieve next round?

How did your choice of language help/hurt? What tests did you start with? Which tests didn’t help you? Did you change drivers at good frequency? How did you determine next test? How did you implement rules for «IV» etc?
