Atlanta Tech Talks: Architectural Katas

Atlanta Tech Talks: Architectural Katas

"How do we get great designers? Great designers design, of course." --Fred Brooks

"So how are we supposed to get great architects, if they only get the chance to architect fewer than a half-dozen times in their career?" --Ted Neward

The Architectural Katas were born out of a simple desire: software architects need a chance to practice being software architects, just as programmers need a chance to practice being programmers. It's a simple concept: a series of exercises that programmers can attempt in a variety of different languages, as a way to help master the language.
