Wrap-ups of the katas I performed during coding dojos or which I prepared for such events. Serves to get you quickly started with your own sessions. Mind that not the code is the main part, but the preparation for it. Each folder contains one kata with a description of its own.
The folder layout is roughly as follows:
- Description and optional other stuff in the main folder.
- kata if any source code is needed to start the dojo
- sessions various attempts to solve the kata, may-be none
- feedback impressions and feedback loops for theses sessions
Simple katas are good to train basics and to reflect what you are actually doing and to learn completely new stuff or languages.
We applied baby steps on FizzBuzz, used no mouse or trackpad on Anagrams, played ping pong driver and navigator on String Calculator, or learned a bit of Scala with 99 bottles of beer. Rinse and repeat with Histograms or Roman numbers.
Advanced katas however need a bit of a different setup.
Refactor legacy code with Golden Master or improve the famous Gilded Rose.
