This is where\n`Codefather` comes from, but it is quite possible that a lot of people don't have this prior\nknowledge, which renders the choice of this name for the kata a clear problem. Though the play\non words makes `Codefather` a fun title, it is arguably still a bad choice.\nConsider this the first lesson included in this kata about naming.\n\n== Goal\n\nBy the end of this kata you should have established an appreciation of the intrinsic\n*difficulty in picking good names* and you will hopefully be convinced that naming is\nan important activity in software development and is worth your time and energy.\n\n== Requirements\n\nEven though you can choose any programming language, this kata is really a *modeling exercise*.\nIt is thus possible to complete this on a piece of paper, a napkin, a notepad, your\nfavourite IDE or text editor. In fact, you can even solve this in your brain!\n\n== General Naming Rules\n\nBefore you go on to the kata itself, you might want to consider the following\nlink:NamingRules.asciidoc[list of rules] around naming.\n\n\n== Problem Description\n\nThe problem we will examine is one we all have to deal with:\n\nOur mobile phone bills.\n\nIn short, you are responsible for creating a model, i.e. all the objects and data structures\nthat can provide your client - the mobile network operator - the most flexibility in billing\nits subscribers.\n\nFor the purposes of this kata, we just need the model to support the creation of the\nmobile phone bill. We can safely assume there is some existing billing system that has\ncalculated every charge on our account.\n\nWe are simply concerned with presenting that information in a document.\n\nIf you are ready to begin, please proceed to link:Step1.asciidoc[Step 1] !\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgsaslis%2Fcoding-kata-naming","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgsaslis%2Fcoding-kata-naming","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgsaslis%2Fcoding-kata-naming/lists"}
