Code Gym - Achieve Mastery with Daily Deliberate Practice

Achieve Mastery with Deliberate Practice

Daily, hour-long intensive workout sessions, focused on software development fundas, away from the pressures of delivery.

What is Code Gym?

Yes, with social distancing, we cannot meet & learn in person.
But nothing can stop us from upskilling online!

Series of daily, hour-long deliberate practice sessions based on Xnsio's training workshops for practitioners

Non-competitive, collaborative, safe and fun environment focused on improving programming skills

Programming language agnostic event, focused on building polyglot and poly-paradigm programmers

Leverages hands-on programming with real-world examples for knowledge transfer and skill building

Why is deliberate practice important?

Current Workouts

Developer Design Bootcamp

Many design solutions seldom explore the power of a good Design. The fundamentals of Design, paves the way for creative and innovative solutions to complex problems.

This bootcamp is designed to strengthen the core design principles through live demos and hands-on exercises.

At the end of this bootcamp you will be able to:

Think about the basics of good design and understand why it is desirable.
Build functional fluency to solve everyday problems in an elegant manner.
Improved confidence in the correctness of your code.
Lay the foundation for advanced design thinking.

Circuits

Values of a Good Design

Communication, Simplicity, Flexibility

Symptoms of Rotting Design

Rigidity, Fragility, Immobility, Viscosity

Programming Principles

Local Consequences
Minimize Repetition
Logic and Data Together
Symmetry
Declarative Expression

OO Background & Core OO Concepts:

Encapsulation
Data Hiding
Inheritance
Limitations of Inheritance
3 Common Ways of Reuse
Polymorphism
3 forms of Object Relationships
Using appropriate Object Relationship
Designing Library vs. Framework
Static vs. Dynamic + Strong vs. Weak Typing

OO Design Principles

Open Closed Principle (OCP)
Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
Tell, Don't Ask (TDA)
Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY)
Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)
Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)
Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
Law of Demeter

Functional Concepts

Higher-order, pure functions
Immutability
Lazy evaluation
Function composition
Currying and partial application
Referential transparency
Closures and Lambdas
List comprehensions
Pattern matching

Key Gains

Values, Principles, Patterns, Paradigm & Idioms influence our design
Avoiding symptoms of rotting design
Design smart data-structures, logic will write itself
Getters and Setters break encapsulation
Inheritance killed OO
Turn logic into data, your programs will live forever
Avoiding combinatorial explosion (methods/classes)
Functional style is the future of programming

Free Memberships open to...

Note: This is a programming language agnostic event. Anyone interested in improving their programming skill is welcome!

What our Gymmies had to say...

Your sessions are really good! To be honest... never expected an online workshop to be so enriching!

Karamveer Kaur

I would recommend this workshop for 2 reasons -

Strong Hands-on Work with good explanation of Concepts
Strong and Candid feedback!

Shikhar Maheshwari

I really liked how you got down and clarified the very basic terms and details that all of us use but didn't have much clarity on.

Harshpreet Singh

I would recommend this workshop because of the rules and many principles we learnt we should ensure while writing code, and also test cases should be mandatory for our code. Thanks!
