Coding Is Like Cooking

Prepared Kata on a screencast

by | Oct 4, 2007 | Coding Skills, Uncategorized

I was really impressed by this screencast that Thomas Nilsson did of him solving KataBowling. Quite apart from the skill with which he solves the programming problem, I like the format. I have previously tried to describe how I have solved other Kata, by writing long articles on codingdojo.org, like KataPotterByEmilyBache, but these articles are much harder to digest than this screencast Thomas has put together.

I have found out that he used a piece of software called wink to create the screencast, so I am currently working on one of my own. Watch this space!

Hi – I´m Emily!

I am an independent consultant with Bache Consulting and chair of the Samman Technical Coaching Society.  As a technical coach I work with software development organizations who want to get better at the technical practices needed to be agile, including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Incremental Design. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, although I am originally from the UK. I’ve written two books: “Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method” and  “The Coding Dojo Handbook”. I teach for both O’Reilly and  Pluralsight. I’m married to Geoff Bache, creator of TextTest. I am also on Mastodon as emilybache@sw-development-is.social.

If you’d like to know a bit more about me, my work, and the talks and workshops I offer, please visit my main website: EmilyBache.com. There, you’ll find information about my background, upcoming events, and the services I provide as a technical coach and consultant. It’s a good place to start if you’re curious about how I can support your team in improving coding skills and agile practices.
