Dear all, the Ha Noi Coding Dojo Session #17 will be organized next saturday (January 7) from 2pm to 4pm at CNF, Ha Noi. This will be the first session of 2012. More information and the location of the Coding Dojo in Ha Noiare always available here: http://hanoicodingdojo.github.com/ # What is a coding Dojo ?CodingDojo session was first invented in Paris in 2004 by the XP(eXtreme Programming) community. The aim of these sessions is toenhance the coding skills of attendees by doing some very smallexercices in a funny atmosphere. This is like when you want topracticea sport like Judo, you need to practice some basic exerciceswith somejudo masters before doing serious business like competitions. There isusually two styles of exercices : 1) Kata prepared by someone beforethe session and executed in front of the public or 2) Randori, a moreexploraty form of a Kata where the whole group participates.More information are available here: http://www.codingdojo.org/ Program of the CodingDojo session (we will follow the same format thanthe CodingDojo from Paris):* 5 min: Do a retrospective of the previous session (what went well,what was interesting, what was frustrating)* 10 min: Decide on a topic for this session* 40 min: code (Kata or Randori)* 5-10 min: Mid-session break to discuss how things are going* 40 min: code (Kata or Randori) The sessions will be completely language agnostic. The programminglanguages chosen at each session will depend of the attendees. More exotic programming languages like Haskell, Brainfuck, Scala,Lua, ... are welcome. This is not really a big deal if not all thepeople don't know the programming language of the session, but you maynotice that a CodingDojo is not a good place to learn a new language.The goal is to learn how to better program not to do some proselytism(mine language is better than yours). We need people who knows aboutthese languages in order to conduct sessions. What is also particularyimportant if you want to organize a Kata or Randori, is to know how towrite unit tests with these languages.More information about the philosophy behind a CodingDojo are available here:http://www.slideshare.net/ntoll/organise-a-code-dojoand here:http://www.slideshare.net/caikesouza/coding-dojo-2879242 Regards, -- Serge Stinckwich UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC), Hanoi, Vietnam Matsuno Laboratory, Kyoto University, Japan (until 12/2011) http://www.mechatronics.me.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://doesnotunderstand.org/ _______________________________________________ POST RULES : http://wiki.hanoilug.org/hanoilug:mailing_list_guidelines _______________________________________________ HanoiLUG mailing lists: http://lists.hanoilug.org/ HanoiLUG wiki: http://wiki.hanoilug.org/ HanoiLUG blog: http://blog.hanoilug.org/
