Coding Dojo Agile Riga Day 2012 Johannes Brodwall, Principal Architect Steria Norway @jhannes

Motivation

Master programming

through practice

What is TDD for you? What do you want to get out of the day? How do you want to apply this on Monday?

Agenda

• • • 10: 05: Demo of TDD and pair programming 10: 20: Coding dojo 1: Prime numbers 11: 20: Retrospective 11: 30: Coding dojo 2: (Romans if you’re slow, Yahtzee if you’re quick, minesweeper if you’re smart) 12: 30: Lunch 13: 15: Retrospective 13: 45: Break (? ? ? !)! 14: 00: Extreme startup 15: 30: Retrospective

TDD

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

Pair programming

Ping/pong Driver/Navigator

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([ ". . ", ". *. *", ". . . *“ ])

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?

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

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

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» )?

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

Kata 2 c: Romans

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

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?

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

Extreme startup

The Extreme startup code competition By Matt Wynne and Robert Chatly
