Coding Dojo: Gilded Rose refactoring Kata

In this session, we will work in pairs doing the Gilded Rose refactoring Kata. https://github.com/emilybache/GildedRose-Refactoring-Kata

A "brilliant" developer has left the company and we will have to add a new feature into the code our teammate wrote.

Equipment Required.

We will practice TDD, please, bring your laptop with your development environment with your favourite tests and mocks libraries for the language you plan to use already installed. Wifi will be available, don't worry about downloading dependencies ahead of the meetup.

Agenda.

• 15 min - Introduction
• 1h 30 min - Hands-on time. We will work in pairs on the code kata.
• 15 min - Retrospective: discuss our solutions, pros and cons.

Coding katas are a way that programmers can kick the tires of their programming languages, paradigms and practices. Katas are simple problems that give developers the opportunity to exercise deliberate practice, improving their coding skills and exploring different approaches and techniques.

Remember this is a Software Craftsmanship session, meaning we respect each other, show passion for learning and teaching!
