Energiser

Every CYF session begins with an energiser. Usually there’s a rota showing who will lead the energiser. We have some CYF favourite games you can play if you are stuck.

  1. Traffic Jam: re-order the cars to unblock yourself
  2. Telephone: draw the words and write the pictures
  3. Popcorn show and tell: popcorn around the room and show one nearby object or something in your pocket or bag and explain what it means to you.

Progress check-in 🔗

Why are we doing this?

🔑 The most important thing is that you are secure in your understanding.

At the end of the course, we will expect you to build novel applications using your understanding. If you cannot build things, we cannot put you forward for jobs. It is in your personal interest to make sure you have properly understood this module.

To progress to the next module you need to meet the success criteria for this module. How will you as a cohort meet the module success criteria? Discuss it in your class channel and make a plan together.

🧑🏿‍🎤 good strategies

  • asking volunteers to review your code
  • helping each other with coursework blockers
  • arranging midweek study sessions
  • using Saturday time to review code and cohort tracker

🙅🏿 bad strategies

  • opening empty PRs
  • copying and pasting
  • breaking the Trainee Agreement
  • mistaking the measure for the target

How to get help

Discuss with your cohort. Support each other.

How to submit

In week 4 of your module you will need a representative to report to the organisation. Here’s your template, fill in your details and delete as appropriate:

Morning Break

A quick break of fifteen minutes so we can all concentrate on the next piece of work.

⌚ Time string 🔗

formatSecondsAsString

Learning Objectives

When programming, you will often encounter large problems. Developers must learn to break down complex problems into smaller problems. In this workshop, we’ll use tests to break down the implementation of formatAsSecondsAsString.

Given a time in seconds, When formatAsSecondsAsString is called with the time Then we it should return a well formatted time string.

For example, if we call formatAsSecondsAsString with 390 then we should get “6 minutes and 30 seconds”

If we call, formatAsSecondsAsString with 6327894 then we should get ""

🧩 Break down the problem

(10 mins)

To break down this problem, we will only start considering seconds inputs <= 60. Why do you think this is a good place to start?

formatAsSecondsAsString(1) // "1 second" 

formatAsSecondsAsString(50) // "50 seconds"

Spend 10 minutes, think about some other test cases you can explore to check this functionality

🧪 Set up tests

(10 mins)

In this directory (time-string), create a package.json and install Jest as you did in the prep material. Next, create a test file, time-string.test.js. In there, write your first test.

🩺 First steps

(10 mins)

Once you’ve written your first test, you’ll need to implement the logic to get it working for this test case. Don’t try rushing ahead in this kata - otherwise it could become very unwieldy!

💼 New cases

Now we’ll consider cases where the input is less than 3600? Why is this a good idea?

formatAsSecondsAsString(61) // "1 minute and 1 second"

Continue this pattern of writing tests and then implementing your functionality. Do this until you’re confident your function works in the case where the input is less than

Community Lunch

Every Saturday at CYF we cook and eat together. We share our food and our stories. We learn about each other and the world. We build community.

This is everyone’s responsibility, so help with what is needed to make this happen, for example, organising the food, setting up the table, washing up, tidying up, etc. You can do something different every week. You don’t need to be constantly responsible for the same task.

Study Group

What are we doing now?

You’re going to use this time to work through coursework. Your cohort will collectively self-organise to work through the coursework together in your own way. Sort yourselves into groups that work for you.

Use this time wisely

You will have study time in almost every class day. Don’t waste it. Use it to:

  • work through the coursework
  • ask questions and get unblocked
  • give and receive code review
  • work on your portfolio
  • develop your own projects
