Coursework content

This Udemy course has many practical ideas of how to manage your time. As you probably have noticed already, juggling the prep work for the Saturday lessons; doing the coursework; doing all other non-CYF related tasks such as work, studies and family is a lot at once. And you also need to think about your physical and mental health. To organise all of this, time management is crucial to ensure you can achieve everything.

Why are we doing this?

The prep work here will introduce you to new concepts for the week. If you already have all these concepts, you need to identify something else in your coursework to bring because everyone is expected to come to class with questions.

Find this week’s blockers thread in your cohort channel and add your question to it. This week we are thinking a lot about thinking responsively: or, ways to make your layouts work on any size screen and any device.

Why are we doing this?

Learning to read and review other people’s code is a key skill for a developer. When you join a new team, you will usually also join an existing codebase, and you will need to be able to read it. If you’ve never looked at code written by other people, you will find this really challenging (it’s already hard!).

1. Do the Github Skills course in reviewing pull requests
2. Ask for a code review from a colleague on your Karma project.
3. Complete a code review for a colleague on their Karma project.
