Kids Ruby is an introductory experience to an emerging coding language called 'Ruby'. The following are online courses that you will need to create your own account for. Patience, persistence, time, daily training and endurance are required. To become a Code Legend you will need to train for many hours to prefect your technique and improve your knowledge base. We discussed this at the time and it seemed that any alternative approach where we didn’t do this would end up with us writing a really big test (perhaps with players making moves), therefore meaning the feedback cycle would be really slow.Congratulations. The code we have at the moment has everything implemented just using booleans which felt really weird when we were writing the code but seemed to be the simplest thing to do to meet the acceptance criteria. Luckily we undid that and it became obvious that the new code should be on an object of its own so that’s what we did. We had imagined that code would end up on the 'Game' object and interestingly just before our colleague joined us we had drifted from the rules of the exercise and actually written the outline of a method on the game object to satisfy the 5th acceptance criteria 'a player can take a field if not already taken'. The 'Square' object was one which neither I nor Dave had expected to exist. We noticed as we did the previous times when we did this exercise that you notice objects in the code that you wouldn’t normally have noticed if we hadn’t been writing all the implementation details in the test first.

We seemed to be able to write a test and have it failing within seconds which is brilliant and just the way it should be whereas I’ve got used to a much slower feedback loop when using Visual Studio.

We coded in Java in eclipse which I haven’t used for about a year and I was really surprised at how rapid the feedback cycle was.
