The most effective way to get to know a new tool, API or library is to get some hands-on experience with using it, otherwise known as having a hack. Unfortunately, before we get stuck into writing code we often have to spend our time with setup, installation & debugging.
I’ll take us through a collaborative coding environment which optimises our time-to-hack by distributing setup & boilerplate tasks between developers: allowing us to get straight in to play with stuff.
We’ll see how this approach can be useful for hack-days, workshops, and even lightning talks!
