Global Day Of Code Retreat 2021
13th November, 8.00 - 17.00, Centralgatan 4 Sundsvall
Welcome to Global Day of Code Retreat 2021!
Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design. By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of 'getting things done', the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement. Practicing the basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time.
The coderetreat day consists of 5-6 sessions, each session's learnings building upon previous sessions. The morning focuses on becoming comfortable with the problem domain, breaking old habits and beginning focused self-discovery. The afternoon pushes the envelope by challenging pairs to stretch their skills and understanding of abstractions, modular design and test-driven development. Coderetreat has an established, time-tested format that is optimised for focused practice. We will be working on implementing Conway's Game of Life in 45-minute sessions. In each one, you'll pair program in whichever language you like, using whichever technologies you and your pair prefer. Official site of Coderetreat
It's Really Quite Simple...
- Start with a simple programming problem: Conway's Game of Life
- Work with different partners to discuss and solve the problem
- Add restrictions to force you to consider different approaches
- After each round, throw out your code and repeat!
If you have not participated before...
- Bring your laptop with you
- Set up your favorite development and test environment
- Pair up with someone at the event
- During 45 minutes sessions write the best code with your pair
- Delete your code (yes, it can be hard)
- 10 minutes retrospectives
- 5 minutes break
- Change your pair
- Start a new 45 minutes session
Do I need to know a specific language?
No, this coderetreat is language agnostic, the main principles are the same for each language.
We provide breakfast, lunch and of course coffee! So please tell us about your allergies in the event registration form!
