"Coderetreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, focusing on the fundamentals of 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 basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time."
Global Day of Coderetreat is a "Global" event because developers from around the world participate in the activity. From Portland to Poland, Israel to India, thousands of developers from hundreds of cities will all be working towards a shared goal- to come together to hone their skills and practice their craft.
