January DC Software Craftsmanship User Group Meetup

Join us for our next dojo. So far we have tackled roman numerals, movie ticket discounts, and poker katas. This month we will go through another challenging exercise that focuses on pair programming, test-driven development, clean code and refactoring.

Come with your laptop equipped with your favorite programming and unit testing environment. Be prepared to pair up, code, learn, share and have fun!
