The Next Kata

For the third session, we'll be going back to a TDD session to work on a problem (often called a Kata).

This will be a practical coding session in the classic style, where we pick a simple programming problem, then work on it together using the eXtreme Programming practices of TDD and Pair Programming. Although we will be working on a problem, the main focus is on improving our coding by focusing on these practices, and learning from each other.

Doors are open from 18:00, and the night will kick off at 18:30 with pizza and socialising. We'll get started on the coding at 19:00, kicking off with a brief overview of the techniques we'll be using and the problem we'll be looking at.

We'll code in pairs, using whatever languages people have available - so bring your laptop, if you have one, with your language of choice installed. Please ensure you have some way of running unit tests. We are very limited in power sockets, so try and make sure your battery is fully charged!

This night is suitable for any level of experience, but you do need to have some knowledge of programming.

We'll finish up around 21:00, and more than likely head to the pub afterwards.

Hope to see you there!
