@KGISL Coimbatore

It was an honour and a pleasure to be invited to spend the day at KGISL Institute of Technology in Coimbatore, India. After a presentation on Software Professionalism: How to do deliberate practice (skip to slide 33 if you know how cyber-dojo runs) I helped run a cyber-dojo using a custom server KGISL had built supporting more than sixteen participants - using famous computer scientists as avatars instead of animals. Fantastic! Youngsters from the local community also participated, encouraged by Sudharsan who has been running a local CoderDojo. I was hugely impressed to see Ashok, a founder of KGISL Group roll his sleeves up, literally, and participate in the practice. A terrific example of leadership. Then lunch, and another cyber-dojo, and some more consulting. I look forward to returning. Thank you KGISL.

Cyber-dojo: How to perform deliberate practice from Jon Jagger

how is cyber-dojo implemented?

• cyber-dojo.org runs off a Ruby on Rails server, in a docker container, in a Kubernetes cluster.
• cyber-dojo's languages also run in docker containers.
• cyber-dojo is open sourced and lives on github.
• cyber-dojo was conceived, designed, and implemented by Jon Jagger.
• cyber-dojo's design is strongly influenced by Jerry Weinberg's teachings on experiential learning.
