Kata Coding with FLINTA* and Friends
2024-03-21 · 18:00
This is a joint event with our friends from FLINTA* and Friends. For more info check out their page here. About the evening We are going to practice Test Driven Design aka Test-First Development. We will focus on different roles (like Driver and Navigator) and Baby Steps to make safe sustainable progress. TDD is hard and takes a long time to learn, so we will start with the basic concepts. What is a Kata? Coding Katas are a ritualized form of deliberate practice - similar to Karate. We will focus on a very specific aspect of software development and do the movements as cleanly as possible. We do not worry about speed as we do not have to deliver our software to customers. It is usual - but not required - to delete the code after the session. Speed will develop over time when the movements have become muscle memory. Come Prepared You'll be coding in pairs, which implies two things:
Timetable 18:45 Open doors, snacks and socializing 19:00 Welcome and opening discussion 19:20 Refactoring Kata 20:50 Closing Ceremony 21:15 Networking in a bar nearby FLINTA* and Friends ...aims to lift the careers of marginalized groups in IT to the next level. We offer technical training for software developers to ace their skills and hold space for our members to build a professional network that will carry them up the ladder. Code of Conduct We expect you to behave according to our Code of Conduct - both at the meetup and in all discussions around the meetup (online and offline). You'll find our CoC at https://github.com/flinta-and-friends/code-of-conduct Food and Drinks There's plenty of choices for soft drinks in the fridges waiting for you. No alcohol will be allowed during the event. We invite everyone after the event to join us in a nearby bar, where you might order something alcoholic - but please remember that this is a professional context. Venue Accessibility The venue is accessible from the street without any steps or thresholds. The event will take place on the ground floor and the door is wider than 1m. There is an accessible bathroom. Cars can be loaded and unloaded directly in front of the entrance (but not parked though). All toilets are single stalls and will be open for all genders - the signs at the doors will inform about the facilities you find inside. The location can be reached with public transport from the station S Ostkreuz (600m through Simplonstraße and then Revaler Straße). Parking spots for cars are generally sparse in the area, so we recommend to come by train and/or bicycle. Covid Policy The event is gonna take place indoors and masks are not required. Of course

Refactoring Kata
2023-10-26 · 17:00
We are going to refactor a running system while being able to safely deploy at any given time. No big bang refactoring, no compilation errors, no red tests. But a series of tiny and safe steps to massage our code onto the next level. This is a joint event with our friends from FLINTA* and Friends. For more info check out their page here. What is a Kata?
