Bob Belderbos and Julian Sequeira started PyBites (https://pybit.es/) a few years ago. They started doing code challanges along with people around the world and writing about it. Then came the codechalleng.es (https://codechalleng.es/) platform, where you can do code challenges in the browser and have your answer checked by pytest tests. But how does it all work? Bob joins me today to go behind the scenes and share the tech stack running the PyBites Code Challenges platform. We talk about the technology, the testing, and how it went from a cool idea to a working platform. Special Guest: Bob Belderbos.

In this episode, Kelly and Sean meet Bob and Julian from PyBit.es to discuss strategies, and how to seek advice and motivation when learning Python. Bob is a driven Pythonista working as a software developer at Oracle.. Bob is passionate about automation, data, web development, code quality, and mentoring other developers.” Julian is a Data Centre Technician at Amazon Web Services. He started coding a few years ago and codes for fun and to solve everyday projects. Together they founded PyBites, a Python blog featuring code challenges, articles, and news. Special Guests: Bob Belderbos and Julian Sequeira.

I want you to get the most out of being a software developer, or test engineer, or whatever you do that makes this podcast relevant to your life. By "get the most" I mean: the most fun the most value more career options probably more responsibility maybe even more money, that'd be cool I want you to start (or continue) studying and practicing your skills. But not just random practice, I've got a strategy to help you focus what to study. Why am I talking about this now? Here's some background on how I re-learned how to have fun with code refactoring (https://testandcode.com/pybites) through code challenges. I'm going to write up the whole list as a blog post, which I'll share first with my Patreon Supporters (https://www.patreon.com/testpodcast), second with my email list (https://us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=1f123c581ab0df2737f3174b9&id=9db722df54) and slack channel (http://pythontesting.net/slack/) and then as an actual post somewhere.

In this episode, you'll learn about problem solving, and how you can approach code challenges using a 7-step approach that will give you enough information to confidently solve your problems. Many students overlook these crucial steps, or blow past them to begin coding—which really doesn't help them once they hit a wall and are unsure how to proceed. So, if this sounds like an area where you could use some work, have a listen and become a more confident, competent problem solver in just half an hour!

Are code challenges or quizzes a legitimate practice for hiring developers? We debate whether the method of filtering candidates via whiteboarding or code games is plain lazy or a necessary part of the recruiting process for engineers.

Are code challenges or quizzes a legitimate practice for hiring developers? We debate whether the method of filtering candidates via whiteboarding or code games is plain lazy or a necessary part of the recruiting process for engineers.

For both the whiteboard and code challenge as well as for answering technical questions during the interview practice will help you move from terrified to competent to comfortable. Before your interview review questions on the languages/frameworks ect you will be using. Get into the habit of doing daily code katas. These will help you with both whiteboard and coding challenges.
