Workshop 0: Introductions
What we are going to talk about now:
- The aim of these workshops.
- Introduce yourselves.
- Resources for these workshops.
1. The aim of these workshops.
- Give you as much practical experience (aka failure) to allow you to level up quickly.
- Having an organised way of recording what you are doing and your progress to your goal is just as important as choosing what your goal is.
- I started recording everything in text files after I had a disagreement on a project and couldn't prove what I said happened, happened. Also, naming conventions.
- Pair programming is encouraged via which ever platform you like (Skype, WhatsApp, Facetime, Zoom, TikTok, Instagram, whatever)
- I have a bunch of exercises ready, if you get to the end of the content in each workshop - just message me!
2. Everyone introduce yourselves!
- How you want people to address you.
- How are you feeling today?
- What course are you doing at UAL?
- What is your favourite song at the moment?
- What is your favourite book at the moment?
- What is your favourite thing to do at the moment?
- What is your Instagram? I will follow you.
- I'll go first!
