Remove most of the steps from the README #8

This workshop is intended to be used as a way for students to practice TDD after learning it in Learn Tape and the Roman Numerals Codealong. It might be better for them to have free reign to write their own code, rather than following along with the code in the readme (as they'll already have done this in the prior two workshops.

@skibinska Would you object to removing steps 2 and 3 from the readme? This way it would help them get their first test set up, then let them write everything themselves from then on.

@oliverjam How is this going?

oliverjam commented 7 years ago

@jsms90 Sorry! I was off Github all weekend and completely forgot about this. How did this go in Nazareth? Might still be worth doing for Gaza

jsms90 commented 7 years ago

@oliverjam Haha don't be sorry :wink:

@m4v15 @RQ16 ?

Hi @oliverjam , we're preparing for FAC-16 and saw this discussion. Is this about Roman Numerals or about Fizzbuzz? We'd love to address these comments and create a pull request, but this issue is in Fizzbuzz so I'm not sure which workshop it refers to. Can you clarify so we can improve it? :)

oliverjam commented 5 years ago

Hey @zurda, I think this was referring to this specific FizzBuzz repo, which we ended up replacing with the Roman Numerals codealong for FAC11. I don't know if this workshop has been used again since, sorry

zurda commented 5 years ago

That explains it, thanks @oliverjam !

So it looks like this repo is currently used as the initial introduction to Tape/TDD in the schedule. In that case I think this issue is no longer valid (I raised it when I was mentoring FAC11 and we had a pretty different structure to the first day).

I think it's actually good as it is—the readme gives enough hand-holding to communicate how TDD works but leaves enough work for the students to actually have to figure some stuff out.
