On February 1st, 2012, I started a Software Craftsman apprenticeship with 8th Light under Doug Bradbury in order to study the agile approach to software development. This post is one of a series about my experience at 8th light as an apprentice.
My next project is an HTTP server in clojure. I can use sockets. A quick search revealed clojure-contrib that has server-socket. The project needs to pass the cob_spec web server test suite from 8th Light. The test suite is built on top of FitNesse which is another project from 8th Light: a sort of mashup of wiki, requirements and testing.
While mulling this over I’m continuing to work on the Clojure Koans and attempting to do a Kata. I asked Doug and he said it’s normal to feel really weird trying to do a Kata but you basically just need to do it just like brushing your teeth.
