Background

Sally’s proposed Portfolio project

People didn’t feel that they have a driver to diversify their portfolio (e.g. try picking up a new library/language) Based around the TV Show Project Which is built around user stories/acceptance criteria Suggested steps:

  1. Rewrite the TV Show Project in TypeScript
  2. Identify the gap between previous iteration (i.e. in JS) and TS
  3. Reflect on what did trainees need to learn to achieve this
  4. Rebuild in Python
  5. Reflect again on what did trainees need to learn to learn this

Etc Ali: I really like this model, it feels like a healthy “push out the door” Historically, a Redux module has been requested but we deliberately never implemented it specifically for this reason Ali: small risk of keen-on-Python volunteers turning this into a “learn Python from the ground up” module Daniel: suggest delivering a project within a short timebox to make it clear that we want to focus on the simple outcome rather than the specifics in depth
