Code Katas with PHPUnit
If martial artists use kata as a method for exercise and practice, what might be the equivalent for coders like us? Coding katas are short, repeatable programming challenges which are meant to exercise everything from your focus, to your workflow.
In this series, one kata per episode, we'll work through a wide variety of challenges to build up your TDD process.
