Team - Keyboarding

Professional coders are professionals at the keyboard.

I tell everyone who will listen. If you are using a mouse at your coding interview when your interviewers are expecting you to use your keyboard, they won’t say a thing. They will just hire the other guy, without a single explanation why.

Learn keyboarding skills for at least 25-50 normal coding operations that you could also do with a mouse.

Not necessarily in order

These are just examples. Build your muscle memory from the first day at the bootcamp. Put your mouse in the next room, if that’s what it takes.

Checkins!!!!

If you want to see some really amazing keyboarding, come to plenty of checkins.

If you want to suffer through some cringe-level keyboarding, come to plenty of checkins.

Nothing will motivate you to be a better keyboarder than LiveCoding at checkins.
