Object dojo

If I want to learn Judo, I will enroll at the nearest dojo, and show up for one hour every week for the next two years, at the end of which I may opt for a more assiduous course of study to progress in the art. Years of further training might be rewarded with a black belt, which is merely the sign of ascent to a different stage of learning. No master ever stops learning.

If I want to learn object programming, my employer will pack me off to a three-day Java course picked from this year's issue of a big training firm's catalog.

What's wrong with this picture ?

Dave Thomas has got the right idea with his Kata, but it needs to be taken further. What I want is an object dojo.

If you were a Java programmer, it would be a “Pojo Dojo” wouldn’t it? And perhaps the skills you are looking for are your “Pojo Dojo Mojo”? Sorry…
