// DOJO

In this code dojo we'll pair up remotely, and work our way through the same code kata, sharing our progress at the end if we choose. This is a great way to learn, understand how your (virtual!) peers work, and I promise - we'll have fun working on weird and wonderful things that are accessible to everyone.

Code of conduct

We're going to follow the Code of conduct outlined at: https://confcodeofconduct.com/
I'll briefly touch on it in the introductory slides, but please have a read before attending.

Be kind and we'll have a fabulous time.

How it's going to work

• We'll all congregate on the Zoom link and walk you through how the session is going to run (~10mins)
• The kata for the session will be introduced
• We'll hop across to Discord Text Chat
• You'll self-select by joining the channel that you want to work in and find a pair
• Be prepared to switch it up, or work in other languages to help balance the groups
• We'll do some ping-pong-TDD (don't worry, it'll be explained in the intro!) for an hour
• At the end of an hour of hacking, we'll re-join the zoom chat to run a quick demo session.

Pre-Requirements

If you need help with any of the below, please don't hesitate to contact me on twitter @david_whitney - I'd be happy to help get you setup.

You'll need to come prepared to potentially host a screen sharing session.

Required software:

• Discord - we will use this to coordinate the session
• A programming environment of your choice
• Some screensharing software

This means:

• With a configured IDE that is common for your chosen language and stack
• With screen sharing or IDE sharing software enabled
• If in your framework or language it requires some setup or configuration, a unit testing library installed
• A microphone to talk to your pair

Suggestions for screen sharing software:

• Visual Studio Code with the VS Live Share extension enabled.
• https://screen.so/#/home - free during the Coronavirus outbreak.

The more prepared you are before the session, the easier it is to progress.
I recommend coming with an empty project / program / repo with your languages default testing tools installed and ready before the session, it will remove a lot of the frustration of sitting doing remote setup over a webcam.
