[TECH ED] TV Show Project - Part 1/4 πŸ”— Clone

https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/JS3-Module-Project

Your goal this week is to complete level 100.

That means:

  • Deploying the website
  • Achieving level 100 yourself in your own repository

Why are we doing this?

After learning new skills and concepts, it’s important to practice using this knowledge to check if you’ve understood everything properly. The tv show project will provide you with an opportunity to use your knowledge from JS1 and JS2 to create a website from scratch.

[TECH ED] Code review πŸ”— Clone

https://claude.ai

Why are we doing this?

With code review, you are practising how to talk and write about code. Writing clearly and simply for other people is an essential professional skill. If you’ve been depending on AI to do this for you up til now, you must seriously consider how realistic your plans are to operate in a professional environment. Use writing tools to develop your own skills, not to replace them.

Use simple, straightforward writing in comments, code review, and documentation. Make your work stand out.

“Hello Claude. I’m a software engineer working on improving my code review and communication practice. I want to make my writing simple, clear, straightforward, friendly, and accurate. In code review I focus on clarity, simplicity, precision, and security. I will paste you my review and I’d like you to offer some improvements and explain them. I will make some changes and then we’ll revise again together. Say okee dokee if you understand.”

Why are we doing this?

Every week you need to complete at least three kata. Spend at least 20 minutes, three times a week, on your kata workout.

Take some time to check your levels. Before you are accepted on to a Final Project on the developer track, you need to complete the Final Projects collection and reach a Level 5 kyu in Codewars. Are you on track to reach this standard? Have you run a study group to work on kata? Have you reached out on the #cyf-codewars channel? What is your plan to meet this goal?
