Yesterday I found a job posting online that had a nice little acceptance task associated in order to be considered for the position. The task itself let you demonstrate many elementary skills while not being huge.
I mainly completed the task because I found it fun, for me it was putting together a jigsaw and testing my brain. It was actually a good way of decoupling from my projects, and it was simple enough to give me a success after some days of struggles. I have learned from this that it can be a good way to regain motivation.
I have chosen to blog about the task and show my proposal and explain how I tackled it. Feel free to comment on my implementation :-) I personally think these tasks are a good reference point for future interviews when they want me to show what I'm capable of and how I work.
I already learned that how I failed to think TDD in this small project. So it made me realize where I need to add more focus.
You can see my blog post on my blog at blog.emilmoe.com/bowling-score-simulation where I explain all of it.
