Ever tried to study a tune for an acoustic guitars? Or trained for a marathon? Or rehearsed a scene in a stage play? Key to success in all those disciplines is steady practice day after day.

Code Katas (jap. 形, means “form”) are a way to practice programming (BDD/TDD). A coder will solve a coding problem given by a task repeatedly in regular intervals such as every day to achieve better solutions and skills.

In this workshop we’ll do Code Katas (several tasks with several constraints will be provided). And of course we expect lots of fun during this event!

All good developers love writing code, but quite few of us take any pleasure in reading it. However, reading code has a lot of positive effects not many people are aware of. In this talk, I will tell you why and how you should use code reading to improve your coding skills.
