  • Course rating: very good
  • Most useful learnings:
  • Concepts v exercises: good balance
  • Presentation v discussion: Good balance
  • Course improvements:
  • Exercise rating: very good
  • Exercise improvements: It would be helpful if the code-dojo was aware that multiple computers were watching it and they got updated. This would augment paired programming and facilitate secondary screens. Alternatively; multiple open windows would also work so that one was not switching between windows constantly. Switching windows interrupts context and concentration.
  • Instructor comments:
  • Better prepared: Bring it on!
  • Start tomorrow: yes. I have an immediate need to create some new code for a new but well understood function.
  • Challenges to applying: interrupting the brain flow. I like to sit in the editor and create/refactor/iterate without going to the compiler. I tend to pull out and go back to diagrams as part of the process. I anticipate the extra interrupts of compiling/testing/fixing clashing with my developed work habits.
