Software Design Studies

Rationale

Software design is a very broad topic, and therefore very difficult to master. To makes things even more difficult, there's little guidance to help someone who would like to learn it. Moreover, resources such as websites or books often contradict each other.

Other design disciplines have found ways to teach the necessary skills to people who want to become designers or to improve their skills. Design studies are one of the ways. Design studies mean producing a solution to a very specific problem and getting feedback on your design.

Like coding katas, design studies are a way to practice. Unlike coding katas, design studies are based on common problems we find in production and are focused on solving the problem within the constraints of production environments.
