Let's use this (somewhat familiar) problem as a demo example:
Write a node program that takes in an unlimited number of command line arguments, goes through each and prints out the sum of them.
- Pseudocode [10m]
- Incremental Implementation [20m]
- Focus on errors (errors are your friend) ie error driven development
- Note: EDD is part of working incrementally. Working incrementally
- Not everything needs to be in a function (some code outside a function)
- Writing pseudocode before writing code
- Learn through investigating (in your existing program/code or
node(REPL))- Documentation is your friend, and so are mentors, but investigation up front is also great!
- KV finishes lectures late
- Getting comfortable with scopes in JS, but it will take some time to get fully comfortable with scoping
