Slides

A meetup where programmers can develop problem solving skills & improve their technical communication.

1. We start with a lightning talk related to the technical challenge we'll be working on.

2. We introduce the problem.

   • We present 3 difficultly versions of "the problem" for you to choose from.
   • If you pick level 1, get with another person who picked level 1, or not. There's no wrong way to move forward. Mix it up! 🍸

3. Enter problem solving mode:

   • Phase 1: TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION

     • Communicate out the problem with your partner, and feel free to chat with other groups as well!
     • Determine what programming language you want to use.
     • Use whiteboards or paper & markers to pseudo-code your way to a solution.

   • Phase 2: PAIR PROGRAMMING

     • Using a single machine, one person navigates or talks out what to code.
     • The driver (person on machine) will listen to the navigator and manually code the algorithm.

4. Wrap-up:

   • 7:45pm

     • Share thoughts on what you learned
     • Clean up your space
     • Parting announcements

• language agnosticism
• pair programming
• tactics vs strategy
  • strategy person knows how to solve algorithm, tactics person knows the language

We love contributions! This repo consists mainly of algorithm and data-structure type problems, so feel free to either submit a solution to a problem we have, or your own problem and solution.

• Problems are found in Coding-Challenges and located in a folder corresponding to their name. Include a README.md (markdown) file describing the problem, and if possible, please include sample inputs/outputs.
• To submit a solution, create a folder with your name in Contributors and put your solution in that folder. All languages are welcome! Please title the file the same as the problem.
• Once you add your problem and/or solution, create a pull request and we will add your code to our repo.

This project follows the all-contributors specification. Thanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):
