Global Day of Coderetreat Pittsburgh
601 Local, 601 Greenfield Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, USNOTE: This event is free of charge per Coderetreat Hosting Guidelines, but attendees are asked to pay $10 in earnest money through https://paypal.me/codeandsupply. This earnest money will be refunded for those who show up day-of in cash or within 48 hours after the event, or optionally donated to C&S or C&S Scholarship Fund. You can still come without putting up the earnest money, but we cannot guarantee food if you don't pay and don't arrive on time. Please make this payment to indicate your attendance in addition to RSVP'ing on Meetup.
It's time for Global Day of CodeRetreat again!
Coderetreats are intensive practice events, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design. By providing developers the opportunity to participate in focused practice, away from the pressures of "getting things done," the Coderetreat format has proven to be a highly effective means of learning and nurturing software development skills.
How does it work? We'll implement a relatively easy programming problem in pairs or trios but introduce constraints in each new 45-minute session. These constraints will teach us more about test-driven development, collaboration skills, designing for maintainable software, and working within the challenging limitations of a particular environment. Our seasoned facilitators have been conducting CR for more than a decade— C&S has hosted Global Day of Coderetreat in Pittsburgh for several years!
We ask you to have the following set up before the event:
- Join #coderetreat on C&S Slack
- Have a coding environment set for your favorite language and be able to run Hello World + tests
- Optionally, bring a keyboard to save some time when working together
The event is open to programmers of all skill levels, but there is an expectation that participants are comfortable working in at least one common programming language.

Build Night
Avenu: Meyran, 122 Meyran Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, Pittsburgh, PA, USLet's get together and build some awesome stuff with code. We'll hold an impromptu co-working space where you can work on a project, pair, learn, and mingle. You can hack on anything! Any language, framework, public/open-source, personal, etc. You don’t have to have an idea to hack on! You’re more than welcome to come just to pair with someone.
Build Night is built for all skill levels. Come with what you know. If you have something you're interested in learning, Build Night is a good place to do so because there will be experts in the room to help with just about anything.

- Pick an issue tagged help-wanted in the repo for an open-source project you use daily.
- Create a dotfiles repo to contain your software toolbox
- Find a generative art project, learn how it works, and create your own art by making small changes to it.
- Talk about open source projects you're working on with others.
- Ask C&S about what open source projects we have that could use some brains.
- Work on building a presentation for a C&S Meetup and submit it.

Things not to do:
- Ask for homework help and expect in-depth help. Some participants may be willing to help a little with programming homework but please expect to work on your homework by yourself maybe with some nudges.
- Ask participants to sign up for a free trial for your non-open-source commercial product to try it out. Any commercial solicitation requires prior arrangements with C&S.
If you have to, it's OK to work on work at Build Night. We'd rather have you there than not!
