Software Craftsmanship Workshop

Hi Everyone!
After a long hiatus, the DC Software Craftsmanship User Group is officially back up! Brian Gibson and myself will be joining Sahil and Fadi in running the group!

We'll kick the meetup back off with a round of coding katas! For those who are unfamiliar with software craftsmanship and would like to become familiar, we will give a brief introduction on core concepts of software craftsmanship like Test Driven Development and refactoring. Then we'll be practicing and working with others to help learn and solidify these concepts.

We will do our best to accommodate all languages, but examples will be in Java.

Requirements/Audience:
We will not be able to supply computers, so please bring a laptop with your desired language/testing framework installed.

There will be an introduction to software craftsmanship so all levels of programming knowledge and experience are welcome. Some level of programming experience is recommend.

The Agenda:
6PM Meet, Greet, and Eat!
6:30PM Introductions
7PM Begin Coding Katas!
