The Tennis katas—rescuing code

Tonight's coding dojo welcomes Ruby neophytes as well as time-honed ruby pros. David Vrensk from SeQura will guide us through the Tennis katas, refactoring exercises that help us learn and discuss the difference between good and bad Ruby.

We will program in pairs and need at least one computer per two participants. Please bring a laptop with Ruby if you have one! It's even better if you can also bring a neutral editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ so that we can take a break from the eternal Emacs/vi wars.

Please download the existing code from https://github.com/dvrensk/tennis-kata before you come.

The introductory presentation will start at 19h05, 10 minutes earlier than usual. It will be followed by the actual programming practice 19h30 to 20h15, and then we will end with a discussion about what we learned and what we want to do next.
