**Crucial Omissions:** There are some cross-cutting strands that we fit in alongside other work. These include careers and code quality. They are not the topic of any one week, and you will miss them out unless you think of them regularly!
**Remember: [Success at Makers](https://github.com/makersacademy/course/tree/master/goals)** means understanding how to [reflect on your learning](https://github.com/makersacademy/course/blob/master/goals/reflective_learning.md) throughout these three months in order to demonstrate to yourself you've achieved the course goals.
## Week 1
By the end of the week all developers can:
* Test-drive a simple program using objects and methods
* Pair using the driver-navigator style
* Follow an effective debugging process
* Describe some basic OO principles like encapsulation, SRP
### Challenges

* [Weekend - Airport](https://github.com/makersacademy/airport_challenge)
### Practicals
These can be used by the devs independently, or enhanced by a coach delivering and offering structured process, group discussion, feedback, etc.

* [Mocking](https://github.com/makersacademy/skills-workshops/tree/master/week-1/mocking_1)
## Week 2
By the end of the week all developers can:
* Use all of week 1's skills (don't underestimate the importance of this)
* Break one class into two classes that work together, while maintaining test coverage
* Unit test classes in isolation using mocking
* Explain some basic OO principles and tie them to high level concerns (e.g. ease of change)
* Review another person's code and give them meaningful feedback
You may notice you are completing the work quicker and with more ease than your peers. If this sounds like you, it's important to speak to a coach as they can provide additional challenge for you to make sure you continue to progress.
Start attending [process workshops](https://github.com/makersacademy/skills-workshops/tree/master/process_review) to focus on your developer process. Anyone from any cohort ever can attend.

## Week 7
By the end of the week all developers can:
* Build a front-end app in Javascript
* Work competently in Javascript *
* Reason about asynchronous behaviour in Javascript
\* This week is analogous to week 2 in that developers will be wrestling with some underlying language concepts that are not well understood (by Makers).
Most of the work and interventions we have run historically are meant to 'de-magic' Javascript and force developers to confront the pieces they are glossing over in an attempt to get work done.
