I love the Coding Dojo's in general, but those organised at Softonic are special because of their office decoration (out of the average) and because they're breakfast.
Once I got at Softonic I must say the ambient, even with an empty office, felt different from many other companies I had visited before. The place is clean, ample and colorful you also have to consider the fact that's we were at story 9 which is over the average building height in Barcelona so the view was also quite stunning. Yes, you can see the sea from the dinner. And yes, there's a dinner.
Back to work
We got to work and after fiunchinho's introduction to TDD and red-green-refactor warmed-up on a first 30 minute pomodoro. The problem at hand was the KataWordWrap which fiunchinho selected specially for it's simplicity. It's not that he thinks we are stupid (which we are) it's that eh wanted us to complete the kata for once. SPOILER some of the pairs did complete the kata so fiunchinho just got a badge unlocked!
I paired twice in Java and after the break I paired once in scala. I'm still not very fluent in scala but I'm happy to report that we completed the kata in scala in little over a pomodoro (and I think we got further than previous pomodoros too!). Here's the final code:
This last session I paired with dvillacampa that is completely new to scala. I must say he very patiently listened to all my funoby comments about the language.
