Why are we doing this?

Assignment: Complete a code review of a colleague’s project.

You should by now have seen quite a few of your colleague’s TV Show Projects. What project have you been most interested in? What solutions have you learned the most from? What lessons will you take into your own practice? You might have noticed:

• a really great layout
• a clever use of array methods
• readable code with small clearly named functions
• something else

Check out the Financial Times competency on Engineering Communication to understand why developing this skill is so important.

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.

Find the Collection for this week on the CodeYourFuture account.

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?
