Code Katas with PHPSpec

In the first episode in our "Code Kata" series, we'll tackle the prime factors challenge. We must use TDD to build a class that will compute the prime factors for any given number.

In our next practice session, we need to build a class that will automatically translate a number into its roman numeral counterpart. As with the previous episode, we'll use TDD and PHPSpec to drive this process.

In this code kata, we need to recreate the scoring system for a game of bowling. Does that sound tough? How do we deal with scoring spares, or strikes, or multiple strikes!? Well, if we use TDD to work toward our goal, it shouldn't be too tough. Let's dig in.

In this Kata, we need to build a string calculator class; however, there are a number of rules and gotchas related to how we perform the addition. Using PHPSpec once again, let's tackle this challenge.

Let's tackle the tennis scoring kata. If you're familiar with the game, you'll know that the rules can be a bit tricky. As such, this will make for a great exercise!

Now that you've worked your way through a number of code kata challenges, let's review the obligatory FizzBuzz exercise, and learn just how easy it is to solve.
