It's not Agile







                    and it's not Extreme Programming
                    
                    
          
          







          
          but, of course, there are shared ideas.
          
          













                    How to practice?
          
          
          
          







          
          
                        Katas 












                What the hell is a kata?









                      Practice








It's like the gym




                                  for nerds


















                They're hard












        But Fun











                    They take time











              But finishing quickly isn't the point











          Don't second guess them











Just follow



        and learn
        
        
        
                until you know them 
                
                
                                    
                                     by 
                                          heart









    It's like muscle memory











  Things you learn to practice:

     *  Refactoring

     *  Test Driven Development
