Today we held our second session in the Dojo.
We had several interesting questions before the second session.
- Would the participants come back for more?
- Would we attract new participants?
- Would the second session turn out similar to the first?
- How much further into the coding challenge would we come this time?
12 brave participants showed up, same as the first time.
9 of the first timers came back! Very cool!
This session we spent less time for startup talk and less time for off-topic discussions.
Quite suprisingly, we came shorter into the solution of the coding challenge, even though we spent more time coding.
Interesting but not a problem, since the goal of our training is not to solve the problem, but rather to familiarize with test driven development.
All in all, the second session were more focussed and activated more participants into coding and relevant discussions.
Next time we are expecting a higher pace in the development cycle:
- write new test case - to achieve red bar
- write code to satisfy all tests - only with red bar until green bar
- refactor for clarity, readability, maintainability, robustness, extendability etc. - only with green bar
