Re: [Omaha.pm] "Coding Kata" coding challenges
Count me in for the June meeting - but there will likely be another person coming from UP as well. We'll sort out between us who is doing the presentation/demo as it's probably necessary to explain kata's first, and then we can actually do one.
By the way, it will pretty much need to be in Eclipse/Java. One of the points of a kata is that everyone is using the same tool. Let me know if that is a problem.
June 8th, right?
Thanks,
Michael
