Passing down the pain Difficulties in teaching software development Ivan
Zarea Technical University of Moldova @minivaaan 2015
0. Context Maxim Chumash / chumash.us
Outsourcing • Good salaries • Low barrier to entry •
Studying for the wrong purpose • Students don’t come to classes
Switch the focus • Do not punish bad performers •
Provide incentive to study • Immediately applicable • Identify what’s important for the industry
Things to teach • Skills • Values • Fun }
important for the industry
1. Skills
What skills do I want my future teammate to have?
• Read source code • Debug • Choose tools
1.1. Reading source code • Live code in classes •
Engage everyone • Give source code with assignments • Show actual code to illustrate a concept
None
1.1. Example: youtube-dl • Read the documentation • See how
to extend youtube-dl • See the Strategy Pattern in action!
1.2. Debugging 9,223,372,036,854,776,000
1.2. Debugging • A relatable & engaging context • Debugging
as a whole • Googling skill is a byproduct
1.3. Tool choice • Help students choose a tool •
Remove the risk from the choice process • Make sure the arguments are sound
None
Skills I want my future teammate to have • Read
source code • Debug and google • Choose tools
2. Values
What values do I want my future teammate to have?
• Appreciate constant progress • Concepts over code • Own the code (design for change)
2.1. Constant progress • Value of TDD • Program with
existing code and tests • Program without code, but with tests • Write tests, too!
2.1. Example: Query Builder
2.2. Concepts over code public class Logger { private static
Logger instance = new Logger(); private Logger(){} public static SingleObject getInstance(){ return instance; } } require "singleton" class Logger include Singleton end
2.2. Concepts over code • Prefer concepts and discussions to
implementations • Be frank about the fact that it’s hard • Try not to introduce concepts to everyone • Restrict choice to unfamiliar platforms
2.3. Own your code • Design for change • Build
bigger projects during the course • Maintenance is reward • Feel the pain
2.3. Example: Markdown • Write a Markdown (subset) parser •
Know that there will be changes to the requirements • Receive changes, update your code
Values I want my future teammate to have • Appreciate
constant progress • Concepts over code • Own the code (design for change)
3. Fun
3. Add Silliness & Humor • Integrate a chinchilla in
the teaching process • The chinchilla wrote a bad dating app • You have to optimize it • That means looking at a lot of chinchillas
