day 139 — code 365
Fri 29 Apr 2016
WDI Week 10 (Day 55)
What we did today:
- Warmup — Happy numbers
- Cucumber
- Interview Questions II
- Front end tricks
- Clojure Installfest
- Homework: Colour Picker, Hangman
Solid day today.
We started with a difficult warm up — calculating Happy Numbers using JavaScript.
Then we moved onto TDD using Cucumber — a testing suite that incorporates a layer of natural English language into the testing.
Then we did a code along to create a parallax effect and a neat bubble generator in JavaScript. We actually ended up installing Bower and Yeoman, and scaffolded a web app using those tools too!
Then we worked through more interview questions as a group.
Then we installed Clojure (requiring us to install Java Development Kit), Light Table (a code editor optimised for Clojure), and played around with configuring everything correctly.
We’ve got a lot of homework for this weekend — our last proper homework weekend!
And we’ve got to work on our portfolios, resumes, and think about our final project.
Far out, feels tiring even just thinking about it.
Onwards!
