Digital Five Level 14 61 Lavender St Milsons Point just head up to level 14, otherwise call Gareth Stokes on 0414 072 676 to be let in. Sign up on the wiki here: https://github.com/rails-oceania/roro/wiki/rorosyd-hack-night As announced at RORO on Tuesday, this will be run in a similar style and philosophy to Corey Haines' Code Retreat. Slides from my presentation are here: http://www.slideshare.net/JoshPrice/hack-night-retro-futurespective We'll be tackling Conway's Game of Life in pairs in 2-3 sessions of 45mins each. - The intention is provide an environment for deliberate practice outside of the pressures of work (deadlines, pressure etc) - It's intended for both newbie and experienced developers - The problem is too big to solve in 45mins, so your focus should be on writing the best possible code in the time - A TDD/BDD approach will be strongly encouraged - At the end of the 45mins, stop working on the problem and delete the code - We'll do a quick 5-10 min discussion of learnings, etc between sessions - For the next session we'll swap pairs and start again If you want even more information, you may want to take a look at Corey Haines' Code Retreat introduction video: http://coderetreat.com/ Hope to see you at a Hack Night soon!
