Coding Dojo this Monday, May 3rd

You’re not going to want to miss out on Monday’s meeting. We’ll be bringing an entirely new concept to Des Moines – the Coding Dojo. Instead of our usual monthly meetup we’ll be exploring this collaborative web development strategy.

We’ll create spontaneous groups of people with varrying skill levels who will then work together to solve the programming challenge of the evening. It will be collaborative, it will be fun, it will be challenging.

You do not need to register for this event but you should so that we can accurately plan. You are welcome and encouraged to bring your laptop. Be prepared to think.

RSVP in one of the following ways:

This event is located at Impromptu Studio (map and directions) and will begin at 7:00 on Monday, May 3rd.

I’m down for the challenge. I’ve played around with Dojo a little bit but I’m more familiar with jQuery, Mootools, and Prototype so this should be fun.

Great idea – I’m in! See you Monday.

… right, so this has nothing to do with the Dojo toolkit, and I’m guessing a front end web designer will have little to no use on some of the more difficult Katas. I’ll understand if you don’t want me on your team.

Justin, frontend or backend devs should be able to participate. “Solving problems using code” is the skill we hope to use and improve upon tonight.
