ThoughtWorks University

What a crazy two days! I've been trying not to put off updating my blog but have been seriously super busy and fattening up on delicious food. 

So here's what's been happening these past two days:

TWU Day 1

On day one we just went over some basic introductory things, like ThougthWorks Values, employee diversity, and the upcoming project we are going to be working on - which will be epic because we are the last team to be working this application and will be deploying it. I'm excited to jump in and start working! 

After class I went to have dinner with the TWU students from Xi'an China. It started magically pouring so we couldn't go out to eat. Instead, we decided to make dinner. After buying vegetables from a small convenient store, some Asian squatting ensued in the cleaning and peeling of vegetables. I haven't felt so Chinese in a long time! The Chinese folks made amazing food! We sure impressed Damon =)

TWU Day 2

Today we did some activities to define the roles for Business Analysts, Developers, and Quality Assurance, and to understand why they are important. We also participated in activities to show how teamwork and collaboration can go wrong, for instance when there is no communication in a project, as shown by the results here:

That's all for now! Will update more later...
