project summaries

• this week: Roxy, Quang, Sky, Cedric

next up - code review

We've now been once through everyone presenting your project.

I would like us to try next work on a "reading someone else's code and giving feedback" exercise.

Please start by reading these articles.

• wikipedia: code review
• teaching code review to students
• code review best practice

Next, please get your work ready to be ready by others, if it isn't already, and choose something to be reviewable :

• edit the your projects page to include a like to your code (github or wherever)
• choose a specific piece of your code that you invite people to look at
• make sure that you have a README with a clear specifics : overview, "how do I install and run this" , and a pointer to the code for review

After we are ready, I will ask each of you to give some constructive feedback on two other projects ... which you'll send to me, so I can collate them all. What I have in mind is to ask each of you to respond to those ideas, saying what was helpful.

Comments? Discussion?
