While I was attending the conference this year, Ian Davis<https://twitter.com/ianfdavis> post a video of himself performing the Gilded Rose Kata<http://vimeo.com/32427432>. I really enjoyed watching it and wanted to take a stab at it myself. I had a couple hours to kill sitting at O’Hair waiting on my flight so I fired up my environment and took a stab at it.
This video is the result of that session. The video consists of me getting the system under test. I did attempt a refactoring a couple times but kept driving to Ian’s solution because it was to fresh in my head. So I trimmed the solution out of my video and left only the testing. Go watch Ian’s video for a elegant solution to the problem. Do note that there is a significant amount of play and experimentation in this video, I am just dorking around. It took me a while to post this because I originally recorded the session using Camtasia:Mac, which is a horribly broken piece of software. I had to wait until I could get a license for ScreenFlow before actually producing the video. If you are in the market for software to do this kind of video, go with ScreenFlow. If you are interested, I am using the Giles<https://github.com/codereflection/Giles> auto test runner, Nunit <http://nunit.org/> and several Resharper<http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/> macros in the video. You can find my source on github<https://github.com/NotMyself/GildedRose> . Video is here: http://vimeo.com/34091297 I would be interested in feedback and see other people solve the kata. -- "The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct." - Occam’s Razor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Seattle area Alt.Net" group.
