Data Kata #1: Validation

The Goal

We meet online to improve our Data Craftsmanship skills.

The How

Unusual to a data science gathering there is no leaderboard. ;)
We will play a "collaborative game" with the goals of solving a problem, having fun, and learning how to write better code, listen to our colleagues, be a supportive team, accept criticism and defend our ideas.

Exercise:
"Read data from a CSV and check data types, range of values, consistency between columns. Re-do in several frameworks - pandas, pydantic, Great Expectations, Pandera, mage, DBT, anything else."
See data and starting code in https://github.com/tmylk/data-kata/tree/main/validation

Format:
- Mob programming with a facilitator. We will all collaborate as one team, switching the person on the keyboard every 5 mins. (aka "Coding Dojo Randori Kata".)
- You don't need to have any previous experience with mob programming.

Schedule:
- Intros - 20 mins
- Mob programming - 50 mins
- Interim Retrospective - 10 mins. What was great? What can be improved?
- Break - 10 mins
- Mob programming - 50 mins
- Final Retrospective - 10 mins
- Closing

Things to note:
- We will meet in Gather Town
- We will be using Python as our programming language.
- We will work on Data as the broad domain of skills that we want to improve.
- We will use gitpod.iogitpod.io as our shared VS Code IDE work environment and MobTime timer https://mobtime.fly.dev to switch drivers.
