Code Kata

I recently read my way through The Pragmatic Programmer and found it easily lived up to my epectations based on reviews I’ve seen on the web. Dave Thomas, one of the book’s authors, has an excellent weblog on which he has been posting a series of programming exercises called Kata. Some are programming problems while some are more related to software design, but each one provides an interesting thought exercise with no instantly obvious solution.

This is Code Kata by Simon Willison, posted on 27th August 2003.

  1. Seems its my day for comments on your site...I also liked the book, although at times it seemed they were looking a little too hard for buzz-wordy typephrases ("Don't think outside the box, find the box!"). In a similar vein you might want to check out The Practice of Programming by Brian W. Kernighan, Rob Pike.

  2. If you're interested, there is a pragprog mailing list, which Dave frequents. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pragprog/
