After a long break, we have a fantastic katacast to present to you. Antonio Lucca contacted me with a new, C# version of the codebreaker kata. I started watching it and was blown away. Is that C#? In Vim? With autotest-like functionality? Super sweet! Without more rambling from me, here’s a bit about Antonio:

My Response to Roy Osherove’s Feedback on my String Calculator Kata
By Corey Haines in FeedbackSince the String Calculator kata was posed by Roy Osherove, I asked him to take a look at my solution and give me feedback. He was kind enough to write an insightful blog post with some comments. Since he took the time to write them, I thought it fair to weigh in with my responses.
Roy:

String Calculator – Scala
By Corey Haines in KatasContinuing our series of ’same kata, different languages,’ Giordano Scalzo provides us with a great view of the kata in Scala. I’ve fooled around a little bit with Scala, but definitely felt like I was just writing java in a not-quite-different environment. Watching Giordano code was very refreshing.
Giordano Scalzo is a Software “jack of all [...]

No Katacast this week
By Corey Haines in UncategorizedDue to time constraints, we won’t be having a katacast this week. It takes a long time to prepare one of these, and, unfortunately, the past couple weeks have seen some unfortunate things come up to take attention. As a result, developing, practicing and screencasting a new kata each week is undoable in the short [...]
