The eleventh Code Dojo (my, this is starting to look well established!) was on 26th March at the FP Offices. We continued Kata Four (Data Munging) in Java - looking at the second part of the Kata.
It was good to have some new people attending (PiersCawley, GrahamCarlyle and MakotoInoue) and they helped instigate a lot of interesting conversation at this session about ways to address problems, Test-Driven Development, Up-Front problem discussion (as opposed to solving), refactoring, the limitations of Java, and applications of Agile.
I almost wish I had taken notes.
(Thankfully the session was recorded so I can just watch the video again at another time should I choose.)
As Dom puts it: "I learned an enormous amount from the interaction this evening. [...] Chatting afterwards made me realise how I tend to be very focussed on solving the problem at hand rather than stepping back and trying to create something beautiful."
