Advent of FoC Day 1: BMI Calculator with Flowrunner-canvas

Hi!

You got this mail because you subscribed to Advent of Future of Code/Review Jam

This is the first day of Advent of Future of Code, because of that we would love to get your feedback and experience with the format.

The Task

Today we are going to be playing with nodes, wires and BMI Calculators using Flowrunner-canvas:

• BMI Calculator with Flowrunner-canvas Instructions

Resources

• Project Repository
• Project Author on Twitter: @devhelpr (be kind)
• There will be a thread for this task in the #share-your-work channel at the Future of Coding Slack

Rule Reminder

You should try to setup the project and complete the task, you can go further if you want.

Deliverable

• A video recording of you going through the whole process "thinking out loud"
• A transcription/notes/blogpost/twitter thread of the experience

Do

• Tell what's your thinking process
• Explain when / where you get stuck, confused or frustrated
• Explain when something surprises you
• Explain if a thing reminds you of something else (for better or worse)
• Keep it positive and constructive

Don't

• Say things you wouldn't say face to face
• Tell how it should be fixed
• Propose features or changes
• Tell them to rewrite it in Rust
• Highlight superfluous details that don't affect the task at hand (Unless requested by the project)

And above all, have fun!
