SharePoint Katas

A SharePoint Kata? What’s that? Well, it all goes back to Coding Katas – an idea based on martial arts where we try to regularly hone and improve our coding skills with specific exercises. For more information, and more links, see the About page on this site.

When it comes to SharePoint, the goal is to propose and discuss Katas to improve our skills in this domain. However, they’re not just for developers – administrators and even users can benefit from doing some regular activities. Here are some possible benefits:

1. Improving, refining and honing existing skills, so we get better at what we do already
2. Repeating Katas over time, so we don’t forget something we did and knew in the past
3. Learning new SharePoint skills as we get to try a small (e.g. 30 minute) task focused on something we haven’t done before.

Some of the best Katas are those done in pairs! The goal of this site is to help us improve, share, discuss and learn together, so get involved by suggesting your own Katas, commenting on the ones here already, and helping to build some real SharePoint Ninjas!
