For the first time in a STACK-X Meetup, Michael Cheng, Lead Software Engineer, Government Digital Services will be running his highly reviewed Coding Dojo workshop on the basics of TDD & Pair- Programming. This popular technical workshop was fully subscribed at STACK 2020 – GovTech’s flagship developers conference – so here’s another chance for you to participate!

What exactly will you be learning at a Coding Dojo?
The Coding Dojo is a meeting where a bunch of coders get together and have fun working on a programming challenge. They will also get to experience Code Kata – a coding puzzle where coders will work in pairs to solve it – and engage in Deliberate Practice to improve your skills.

Join the Coding Dojo to:

  • Improve your knowledge in a language / framework.
  • Pick up a new programming language / framework.
  • Inculcate developer practices (TDD, BDD, pair-programming).

Who should attend?
