Clear Measure Bootcamp

This project is the starting point for folks taking part in the Clear Measure Bootcamp.

This course is a feature-driven walkthrough that guides participants through a series of improvements to an existing code base, demonstrating best pracitices and and working through scenarios targetting 300- and 400-level developers.

Getting Started

• Clone the repo
• Configure your db (see pre-requisites below)
• Run the click to build script
• Build the application in Visual Studio 2015
• Run the application from VS

Application Overview

The starting point is an expense report application with a very limited feature set, and room to improve. You will work through defining and prioritizing new features, then work in pairs to build these out. Your product owner/trainer/engineering manager will present you with new requirements while you map out how things will be built, pair programming and working through a series of iterations, writing tests and leveraging CI. Roll up the sleeves!
