Coding Dojo 11

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."
