Johannesburg Global Day of Coderetreat 2017

Gauteng Code Retreat November 2017

The GPUG (Gauteng Python User Group) together with Coderetreat SA will be hosting a Global Day of Coderetreat on 18 November 2017.

This meetup is proudly sponsored by Driven Alliance.

Drinks are sponsored by Jurumani.

If you are unfamiliar with Coderetreats, these are full-day events for intermediate/experienced programmers to get together and learn about TDD (Test Driven Development), pair-programming, new programming techniques and about learning/collaboration in general.

• Fundraising

As part of the sustainability efforts of the GPUG, we will also be doing a fundraising for our User Group costs. What this means is that if you like the GPUG (and we know you all do =] ) you can allocate part (R50) or whole (R100) of your deposit as a donation.

This is completely voluntary and opt-in, although we will periodically send out group-announcements so that attendees are aware and can opt-in before the event itself (no marketing spam, promise!)

What you need to bring

• Laptop with IDE / Programming Language Setup
• Read up on TDD (Test Driven Development)
• An open mind, willingness to learn & share

Please note that a familiarity with programming is a basic building-block for not "getting lost" and for having an enjoyable experience at the Coderetreat, although people who are eager to learn and share out-of-the-box ideas will also find this event exciting and fun.
