Why are we doing this?

When you begin programming you will also begin Codewars, if you have not done so already. Prepare now by signing up to Codewars. You will have to solve your first kata to sign up! 🥋

You will complete all mandatory katas per sprint for the rest of the course. A kata is a short coding workout and you should aim to spend around twenty minutes doing each kata.

Solving lots of kata gives you lots of practice in:

  • writing JavaScript 💻
  • breaking down problems 🧩
  • recognising common questions 🕵️‍♀️
  • building up your JavaScript muscles 💪
  1. Link your account with GitHub, and join the CodeYourFuture clan, so we can find you on the clan board here: https://www.codewars.com/users/CodeYourFuture/following
  2. Join the #cyf-codewars channel

By the end of the next module, you need to have completed all mandatory katas. Codewars is not just to practice JavaScript, it's to practice time management and study skills. Don't just do random kata - there are over 10,000 problems on this website! Mentors have collected kata that will help you with your coursework in collections per sprint per module. The kata in these collections are suitable for your level.

All the CYF collections are on the CYF account. Here's a beginner collection of kata to practice on for now: https://www.codewars.com/collections/cyf-onboarding

You must sign up to Codewars this module, and from the next module you will need to complete a certain number of exercises each module.
