1. Kodisto Dojo 16-01: Agenda
WHERE: @COWORKING | DATE: 2015-01-14

2. Deliberate Practice
Practice 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.

3. Deliberate Practice
A 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
