Title: Learning ruby through tdd and katas
Proposer: roy_osherove
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 45 minutes
Description: TDD Katas are not just a powerful way to learn tdd , but they are also a powerful tool to learn new languages. Once you know how to perform a kata (such as String Calaculator) in one language, trying to translate it to a different language provides a very easy platform to incrementally learn a new language's features. In this session, we will look at the string calculator kata, and see how to achieve it with the very basics of the ruby language. In the process we will cover the process of tdd.

Roger: maybe. Is there another 45m it would pair with? [Ewan: maybe]
