Explanations

Clean software development needs to be practiced. This requires exercises. In the Coding Dojo, we collect such exercises under the established term "Kata". The kata have different scopes in order to offer something for every taste, every level and every time budget:

  • Function Katas/Code Katas are small tasks whose problem definition is an algorithm. Their solution consists of a function - subject to any refactorings.
  • Class Katas are tasks whose problem can be solved using a class and several functions - again, subject to any refactoring. This is more about abstract data types.
  • Library Katas stand for problems whose solution requires several classes, which can then be combined in a library. These tasks are somewhat more extensive.
  • Application Katas The task is to develop a complete application. In other words, it is not just about any logic, but about everything from the user interface to the domain and resource access. However, the challenge here is not so much the use of technology, but rather the interaction of aspects.
  • Architecture Katas are larger application catas. They require a distributed implementation or are even so large that an implementation is unrealistic. Then it's about the architecture design.
  • Agility Katas are application katas that focus on iterative and incremental development. Each kata is therefore delivered in several parts.

What you can practise with the katas is different. Functions and classes are more about test-first, the application of CCD principles and test techniques such as dummies, Gold Master, etc. With libraries and applications, other techniques are added, such as dependency injection or practices like version control. Above all, however, an explicit design gains weight. With the Architecture Katas, this may even be the only result to be produced - albeit at a different level of abstraction than with the Application Katas.

The procedure is also worth practicing for agility katas. The approach should be incremental in terms of agility. The katas provide information on the expansion stages in which you should proceed. Try to really concentrate only on the current iteration, without consulting information from other iterations.
