Detecting and removing duplication effectively is the cornerstone of emergent design and refactoring. Yet we are *never* taught or trained on how to do this. 
In this lab, we will use a combination of teaching techniques to learn to see and remove duplication form code. All hands on exercises will be available in java, javascript, c#, c++ & python.

Exercises will include:
Sparrow decks to train pattern recognition
Paper & Pencil exercises to learn conceptional techiques
Coding exercises to put it all together
