Do you know what a Coding Dojo is? \> A Coding Dojo is a meeting where a bunch of coders get together to work on a programming challenge\. They are there to have fun and to engage in Deliberate Practice in order to improve their skills\. The focus of the Coding Dojo would be to help you improve your skills in the language you are working on (or ramping up on). We also hope that pair-programming with more experienced devs will help you level up. Format wise, the team will be given a Code Kata (a coding puzzle) where they have to solve by writing code. And through pair-programming, they will learn about writing test (TDD) and using advanced coding techniques from the more experienced devs in your group. ====================== What is a Code Kata? A kata is an exercise in karate where you repeat a form many, many times, making little improvements in each. You need to try it as many times as it takes, and be comfortable making mistakes. You need to look for feedback each time so you can work to improve. Remember that the point of the kata is not arriving at a correct answer. The point is the stuff you learn along the way. The goal is the practice, not the solution. About JuniorDev SG: JuniorDevSG is a developer interest group that focuses on providing a place for junior developers to learn and network with each other. At the same time, we seek to be a support system to help junior developers break into tech, navigate their careers as well growing them to one day become senior developers or tech leaders in the tech industry.
