<p>Recently I'm reading <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/unclebobmartin">Uncle Bob</a>'s
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Coder-Conduct-Professional-Programmers/dp/0137081073" title="Clean Coder">Clean Coder book</a> and I read about how a professional programmer must always practice, like professional musicians, professional football player, and professional martial arts player.

<ul>
<li>Kata is a Japanese word describing detailed choreographed patterns of movements practised either solo or in pairs. The term form is used for the corresponding concept in non-Japanese martial arts in general.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Coding Kata</strong> is solving a small programming problem over and over
again because when you face it or someone like it you don't need that
much effort to think how to solve it, for example professional guitarist
won't think how to do Pull-Offs of Hummer-down when he's playing a solo,
he just thinking about melodies and its harmony, thus professional
programmer will consume most of his/her brain power on how to make this
code clean but on how to solve this simple problem. like in martial arts
they are doing a series of choreographed practice movements so that when
he want to do it he'll get a fast response from his body.</p>
<p>I'm new in this, I like the idea, I'll keep practicing, and
I'll keep my moves toward profession.</p>
<p>Here's a video of Uncle Bob preforming coding kata with his audience</p>
