Exercise improvements:
Explain up front before the LightController lesson that there is some magic going on with the Makefile (link-time substitution) in order to make the LightControllerSpy work, and then explain exactly how it works after the coding session.
Instructor comments:
James is very knowledgeable and experienced. He handled the diversity of personalities on our team very well.
Better prepared:
Bring it on!
Start tomorrow:
Yes. In fact, I can start today. I started applying the concepts on the very first line of code that I wrote after the course.
Challenges to applying:
The analysis paralysis aspect of our culture. Fear of the unfamiliar that keeps people stuck in their ways.
