Workshop - Ruby Coding Dojo

on YouTube ↗01h 08m

" summary

Hands-on Coding Dojo runs a live Ruby session that claims practice beats work and demonstrates test-driven development with Ruby 2.0 and minitest/autorun, using ping‑pong pair programming and three‑minute rotations. The group builds a simple calculator, adds variable‑argument support, parses numeric strings, avoids inject/reduce constraints, and automates tests with a bash watch loop and minitest/bright output. Tests drive design, edge cases (like "banana".to_i == 0) expose parsing decisions, and the kata repeatedly passes to green after refactor.
