Designer code meet

Do you write Designer code?

Well, this was the topic of Chris Parsons’s (eden developments) talk on Thursday evening. The presentation was top-notch and so was the exercise afterwards. I was lucky enough to pair up with James Adams (from Go Free Range) and a ruby stalwart. We ended up refactoring some nasty piece of code into designer code pretty quickly. It was a really nice experience after all. If you would like to have a go then, it lives in Chris’s checkout-kata repository under obfuscated branch.

The problem is our own checkout problem, which I am sure you have come across before.
