Practice WOD: PlayBootstrapBrowserHistory

Before starting this WOD, make sure that you have successfully completed the BootstrapBrowserHistory WOD, and that the BootstrapBrowserHistory Eclipse project is open in your Eclipse.

Also, review this screencast documenting the play-bootstrap-template project:

Instructions

1. Start your timer.
2. Create a Play application called PlayBootstrapBrowserHistory by downloading the play-bootstrap-template repository, then renaming the directory, the Eclipse project, and the Play project to “PlayBootstrapBrowserHistory”. (Note that you’ll edit the build.sdt file to change the Play project name; see this screencast for details.)
3. Now enable Checkstyle on your project. If there are any errors or warnings, remove them.
4. Now edit the application so that the page displayed is the same as the one you created in BootstrapBrowserHistory.
5. Your Eclipse project should contain no errors or warnings.

Your application should present the following page:

When finished, stop your timer, and record how many minutes it took you to complete the WOD.

Rx: <7 min Av: 7-11 min Sd: 11-18 min DNF: 18+ min

Demonstration

Once you’ve finished doing the WOD a single time, watch me do it:

Standard WOD Caveats

You’ll learn significantly less from watching me solve the WOD if you haven’t attempted the WOD yourself first.

While it’s an achievement to finish the WOD no matter how long it takes, you might experience “diminishing returns” if you work longer than the DNF time. Thus, it might be strategic to stop working at the DNF time and watch my solution.

After watching my solution, I recommend that you repeat the WOD if you have not achieved at least Av performance. If so, be sure to:

• Delete your old project so you cannot refer to it;
• Don’t look at my screencast while you WOD; and
• Reset your timer.

Feel free to keep trying until you make Rx if that’s of interest to you.
