A Rapid Development Framework for Microsoft Access

I was looking around at some code katas today. Code katas are an exercise in coding that one can do on a repeated basis similar to practicing a move in martial arts.

If you’ve seen the movie Karate Kid or any of it’s sequels or remakes, you might remember “wax on, wax off” repetitive motions of waxing a car that paralleled different blocking maneuvers for kicks and punches.

In any case, I was thinking about trying some specifically to work on TDD skills for Access. I’ve found a couple of generic code kata sites so far like Awesome Katas: https://github.com/gamontal/awesome-katas, and Code Wars: https://www.codewars.com/kata/search/

I then reviewed a YouTube video I was itching to check out on using VBA classes in real world scenarios on Access User Groups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9chkPUVdvcw

Lots to learn out there people! Go to it!
