Saturday November, 16th will be the Global Day of Coderetreat 2019!

In Montréal, the event will be hosted at Busbud and sponsored by Zenika.

Seats are limited so we can focus on delivering a high-quality experience to everyone.

What's a coderetreat?

Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on 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 principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time.

The goal of the coderetreat is to learn from it while having fun:

1. Start with a simple programming problem: Conway's Game of Life.

2. Work with different partners to discuss and solve the problem.

3. We'll add restrictions to force you to consider different approaches.

4. After each round, throw out your code and repeat!
