Duplication Coloring Book with TechConnect

Abstract:
When working with AI or LLMs that generate code for us, we often need to review the code and understand what's happening. Sometimes the code becomes hard to read due to large amounts of duplication. Knowing how to recognize opportunities to quickly and safely remove duplication is a useful skill to have when you're trying to understand what's going on.

In this workshop we will pair up to work on small practice exercises that help us to see the duplication in the code. Then quickly and easily refactor to remove it and allow the hidden architecture inherent in the code to emerge.

We will look at exercises in one of 5 languages (Python, C#, C++, JavaScript or Java) so bring a laptop with an IDE and get ready to code!
Suggested IDE's: Pycharm, CLION, Visual Studio with Resharper, Webstorm, IntelliJ, Eclipse, VS Code.

Learning Outcomes:
- Seeing duplication
- Extracting duplication
- Refactoring to create extractable duplication
