koansA kōan is a story, dialogue, question, or statement, which is used in Zen practice to provoke the “great doubt” and test a student’s progress in Zen practice.”(Wikipedia)

http://alexlobera.com/koans-javascript-and-react/The way it works is you clone a Github repository that has implemented failing test cases. Then you fix the code implementing functionality and filling in the blanks, getting the tests to pass one by one. Koans are helpful in understanding concepts and getting familiar with the syntax
