Kodisto Dojo 16-01: AgendaWHERE: @COWORKING | DATE: 2015-01-14

Deliberate PracticePractice is the act of rehearsing a behavior over and over, or engaging in an activity again and again, for the purpose of improving or mastering it.

An expert breaks down the skills that are required to be expert and focuses on improving those skill chunks during practice or day-to-day activities, often paired with immediate coaching feedback.

Continually practicing a skill at more challenging levels with the intention of mastering it.

Deliberate PracticeA Coding Dojo is Deliberate Practice for Software Developers But is a team (group) activity It must be fun It accepts all knowledge levels Immediate Feedback: That’s why TDD gets so used Focus on core skills not so much in tools Mixed skill levels => Guidance from more experienced

developers
