Coder VS Developer

! Semua orang bisa coding.! Sebagian dari kita bahkan brilliant coder.! Sebagian dari kita itu GEEKS.! Sebagian dari kita mampu memecahkan masalah komputer yang sulit.! Tapi tidak semua dari kita adalah developers.

Coders code Developers Deliver

7

Delivery Matters! Berapa orang dari kita yang membuat project tapi tidak menyelesaikannya ?! Berapa pula yang mengerjakan project tapi tak pernah di deploy atau di

publish ?! Berapa pula yang project nya sudah di deploy atau publish namun tak

pernah di gunakan oleh user atau orang yang membutuhkannya ?

You will never learn to deliver until you join the industryBUT

You may not learn to deliver even after joining

A Software is delivered when it! Works under worst case scenario! Provides user a comforting User eXperience (Ux)! Solves the actual business problem! Can handle scalability! Has proper and detailed documentation! Can be iteratively improved! Can be changed with less cost! Can be modified and maintained by a person who did not originally

developed it

But may not look like this

A RockStar Developer deliver with Style

HOW !!

11

RockStar Triangle

Analytical ability

Knowledge

Best practice

12

Train your brain! Learn algorithms as many as you can. Implement a

few.! Can you run a multiple recursion in your brain?! Sit and think before writing code! Read complex stuff, make an habit to digest things

that are hard to swallow.

13

OOP and Design Pattern! Industry runs on OOP.! Learn to think in objects not in methods! SOLID principal, get a strong hold on it. SOLID is Single

responsibility, Open-closed, Liskov substitution, Interface segregation and Dependency inversion.

! Read GoF (God of Four) “Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software"(Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides). Build a pattern vocabulary.

14

Refactoring and Code Smell! Love coding, not the code. Code rots. Code smells.! Refactor codes to get rid of code smell! Refactoring is a technique, it’s a skill. You have to

learn it by practicing it. ! Its vocabulary, learn to talk in the language of patterns

and refactoring.

15

Maintainable Code! Use coding standard. Use IDE plug-in that enforce

standard. ! Use understandable descriptive naming.! Write less comment, explain “why” not “what”.! Follow one of style code for your platform.

16

Source Control! Never, ever work without a source control. Not even

when you are working alone. ! Learn to merge.! Use a distributed version control such as Git or

Mercurial.

17

Unit Testing and Continuous Integration! This is a decisive line, Rockstars writes tests. ! Use a CI system, let the compiler do the hard work

every time you commit.

18

Pick a side and dig deep! Choose a technology platform, become an expert on

that. ! Know very deeply how that platform works, how it was

built, how it works internally.! If you work on Tizen, go deep and proof yourself as a

master on Tizen

19

Learn SDLC! Practice Agile methodology. ! Use SCRUM or KANBAN.

20

User Experience! Accept the fact that you cannot do the UI yourself.! Learn about Ux and usability ! Read About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction

Design

21

Read Daily and Adopt early! At least follow 5 blogs! Know all the famous people in your platform, follow

them, read them.! Adopt any new technology in your platform as soon as

it is released as alpha or preview.

22

Kenyataan di lapangan! Belajar menjadi RockStar tidak bisa dirumah saja! Bekerja pada sebuah perusahaan yang ada RockStar

nya! Banyak RockStar yang susah diajak kopi darat

23

It’s a mine field out there! MOST of the Companies does not give a damn about your

! Career! Knowledge! Personal Growth! Social Life! Family

They just want you to get their job done.Period.

24

You are on your own! You have to keep learning

! New technology! New practices! New standards! New language

25

7 questions to ask before you join a company (other than how much salary they pay you)

! Do you use source control? Which one? ! Do you use any methods such as Scrum to develop?! Do you have a CI system?! Do you have senior developers who will work as my mentor?! Do I work alone or in a team?! Do you have Quality Assurance team?! Do I have to work over hours? In weekends?

26

Freelancing damage your career! Do not decide to freelance only. Becoming a

Rockstar developer is all about working with other Rockstars .

! Freelancing does not have commitments, does not allow you to execute best practices.
