Global (half) Day of Code Retreat

This year is different and so is the annual Global Day of Code Retreat.
Usually a full day event, designed to get you out of the office, practicing Test Driven Development with some new friends in a work-free environment, we're dialling it back to a few well facilitated hours so you can still experience the joy of code craft from your home without the Zoom fatigue.

We'll start with an example run-through so that you gain some ideas about how to remote pair and tackle the problem. We'll set our intention for the day and then run 3 rounds of paired practice with retros.

We'll start promptly at 10AM BST and wrap up promptly at 1:30PM so we don't spend all day in front of our machines.

Never done a Code Retreat before? Not to worry, we'll guide you through the whole thing. There's no time like the present :D
