Developer Training Program 🎓

This is a repository dedicated to coding training.

The website is under construction here: https://stho32.github.io/Training/

Essentially it is a collection of requirement sets for projects. It also contains a python script choose-random-project.py which will help you to randomly select a challenge, programming language, project type and some mutators.

additional ideas to make the training more effective and fun

• Remove your mouse from the computer. Let us see if you are good enough to do the challenge keyboard only.
• Implement the same project multiple times. Measure the time needed. In every iteration try to finish in half the time.

degrees of maturity for any task / project

• Level 1: We did the task somehow. It works now.
• Level 2: We did the task in below 1 hour.
• Level 3: All information for doing the task was already available. We did not need to use google or search around anywhere else.
• Level 4: The task was done during regular working hours.
• Level 5: We planned to do this task at this time.

Developer Levels

• Level 1: Tinkering around, mostly using google, copying stuff, maybe did a first tutorial
• Level 2: Did grasp the basic concepts: variables, loops, ...
• Level 3: Has created a first project of his own, that is something he/she can personally use, all by him-/herself.
• Level 4: Grasped classes and inheritance, did code at least 10 projects including classes, some of them are libraries to use with other projects.
• Level 5: Can read and work with other peoples code.
• Level 6: Has an understanding of the SOLID principles and uses object oriented design.
• Level 7: Uses the principles and unit tests to create understandable code that can be used and maintained by others.
• Level 8: Finds a new technology, methodology or something else and goes back to Level 1.

TDD Workflow

1. write the test so that it fails
2. in the test throw down rubbish code (do not implement new classes or methods yet)
3. this way, make the test go green
4. refactor: now make the code beautiful while keeping the test green
