Welcome to the Gilded Rose!

Welcome friends!

This is the best place to discuss the blog series, "Growing a Gilded Rose". It's also a great place to ask questions about the source code included in the companion repository. Everyone is welcomed to participate. But, please, keep the topics relevant and the discourse civil. 🙂

To help make things a bit more manageable, each branch in the repository corresponds to a specific step in the overall journey, and represents the "end state" of a particular blog post. These relationships are as follows:

Branch	Blog Post	Summary
0_original	Growing a Gilded Rose	Original (in C#) console application, i.e. the start of the kata.
1_testable	Gilded Rose: Step 1	Introduces (in F#): approval tests, unit tests, property-based tests.
2_model-fs	Gilded Rose: Step 2	Introduces (in F#): functional requirements expressed as a domain model.
3_coalesce	Gilded Rose: Step 3	Demonstrates adding (new) F# code to a (legacy) C# codebase.
4_extended	Gilded Rose: Step 4	Extends previous work with new functional requirements.
5_fs-alone	Gilded Rose: Bonus 1	BONUS: replaces C# console application with F# equivalent.
6_model-cs	Gilded Rose: Bonus 2	BONUS: replaces F# domain model and test suite with C# equivalents.

Thanks! I look forward to our further interactions.
