Coderetreat is an established day-long in-person format.
Today is not a full-day in person with six sessions,
it is the start of a remote experiment, with the first session together.
Today we will get to know the format, and break the ice with a first session together.
11:00-11:10 Getting into the room
11:10-11:30 Welcome
11:30-11:45 Pairing up / grouping
11:45-12:30 1st remote session, all together now
12:30 Reflections and next steps
At the end of today, we will reflect and choose what works for next steps together based on what might work for the group.
4 rules of simple design
A key enabler to “passes the tests” is having tests
If you are new to testing, are a few starting points for reading from freecodecamp
Traditional Coderetreat is implicitly about how we work together:
Today, we will implicitly be learning how to work together, remotely.
This will likely have some tooling barriers as pairs get together for the first time.
IDEs (if collaborators have them installed already, download and install takes long):
Online coding rooms (much quicker to get coding):
Implement a part of conway’s game of life,
Do this in a pair or mob
Try to write “perfect code”
After 45 minutes… delete the code!
Constraint: get going, remotely.
