Egghead Workshop Notes

Notes from Build an App with React Suspense, Hooks, and Context Workshop Setup with Michael Chan

Write a detailed README with contact info, info about the workshop itself, license etc
Create a folder for each lesson so folks won’t have to struggle with switching git branches every 15 minutes
Give everyone a minute to process what they’ve learned and to figure out whether they have questions
Reference the docs so once the workshop concludes everyone knows where to find the resources to refresh what they’ve learned
As with egghead lessons, guide their eyes - if you’re explaining something, then select it in your IDE (at least hover over it)
Take a minute to go over the questions from the chat, read the question out loud
Don’t be afraid to experiment when there’s an interesting question, we’re all nerds here who love to try out new stuff
Have lesson notes either printed or on another screen
Share cool links with folks in the chat
If you’re showing any Chrome plugin etc. make sure to show how to find & install it
Make sure your surroundings are not distracting
Try to give everyone a break every hour or so
Explain what’s the role of break out rooms and how do they work
Buy a better webcam, seriously Michael this video quality is great!
Consider creating custom snippets for longer typing sections (but don’t go too far, it’s a live workshop after all)
Remember to have fun!
