Mentors / Languages

Two–three mentors required in addition to leads. These should be able to cover support for the required languages.

Several exercises (katas and code starters) will need to be ported to required languages.

Prep-work for apprentices

None

Follow-on tasks

Organisation mentors should look to exercise the knowledge we’ve covered in the boot camp. Below are suggestions for tasks that would do this, but please use your own judgement to work out what to do. There is no need for anything to be returned to MD or the presenters—it’s just a learning exercise.

Working with the slides

The slides are stored as Markdown files in docs/_posts and are presented using a combination of Jekyll and reveal.js. A remote Jekyll theme is used to help make changes to the Jekyll code centrally.

The easiest way to preview your changes locally is to use docker to run Jekyll. To do this, install docker if you haven’t already and run docker-compose up from the root of this project in a terminal. Your changes will be visible on http://localhost:4000/. Any changes you make to the slides will be reflected in your browser—there’s no need to restart docker. You can hit ctrl-c to stop the process.

Once you push your changes the slides will be published using GitHub Pages automatically (see the link at the top of the repository).
