KATAExercism – like Exorcism but with fewer priests

SHOW MEME QUICK

WHAT KATA? Individual Training exercise (Martial Arts) As only the software industry can it’s an

overloaded term for us Kanban Kata – Not the one we’re interested in

today Code Kata – Discrete problems to gain muscle

memory with coding

WHY KATA?

WHERE KATA? Options

CodeKata.com – Helped popularize the Kata concept. To me the problems are quite advanced (some anyway) so great introduction to some complex constructs. Not language specific.

Project Euler – Classic Math problems mainly CodeWars.com

WHERE KATA? My Fave – Exercism.io

Lots of languages Community. Chat/Feedback on submissions TDD! Curated problems. Some good introduction ones

then increase in difficulty Beginners and Experienced Devs looking to learn

a new language or sharpen skills

WALKTHROUGH So this happened during the talk but here’s a

good example of Ruby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uJsiox2SUo and this guy calls himself Gator Juice so you know to trust him.

Also here’s a much more capable speaker talking about exercism.io as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWZ20qvfv6c
