What technologies does cyber-dojo use?
What was the inspiration for cyber-dojo?
In 2009 I (Jon) was consulting in Norway. A user-group organized an evening coding-dojo (in a local pub). An exercise, language, and test-framework was picked, and participants split into teams of about 5 people. After ~90 minutes everyone gathered for a review...
- two teams had nothing to show since they were still trying to install the language and test-framework (using the pub wifi)
- the other teams spent a long long long time trying to connect their laptops to the projector (Linux, Mac, & Windows)
I became convinced an online coding-dojo was a worthwhile project
- practising programming deserves more attention
- effective development is a team activity
I think there is real benefit in practising outside a professional IDE:
- cyber-dojo is about learning — an IDE about development
- cyber-dojo is for working together — an IDE typically alone
- cyber-dojo aims to improve skills — an IDE to finish products
- cyber-dojo promotes coding & testing — an IDE, mostly coding
- cyber-dojo helps you work slower — an IDE faster
