BYOC (Bring Your Own Coffee) We’re an independent, non-sponsored Code & Coffee meetup. Because of this approach, we do not provide coffee. Feel free to bring your own if you wish. There are plenty of great cafés across the street in Centreville Square. I recommend Cafein, they make a damn good cappuccino. Meetups will typically be held at the Centreville Regional Library, though I may occasionally rotate to Chantilly or other nearby libraries depending on availability. We start this meetup with a TOTALLY OPTIONAL intro circle. You can share as much or as little as you want—your name, technical background, what you’re working on, interests, or just pass and listen. For questions, comments, and concerns please email me at: timothyfilippone@gmail.com

**Location**: Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library (Virginia) Conference Room A game development **Working Session** involves 3 key parts: 1. Tell people what you're going to do 2. Actually do stuff 3. Show people what you did That's what we'll be doing for this meeting. We'll briefly tell each other what we're going to do, then work on our projects, then at around 5:30 wrap up to show each other what we did and chat for a bit. You don't have to stay the whole time, so feel free to drop in and out as you have time. All game development skill levels welcome. Whether you're bringing a game you're trying to ship in a month, or you're just planning on following some tutorials or trying out a new tool to improve your skills, use this time to make progress. Working sessions also train you to think about the scope of your work: pick a chunk of work that you can complete in the time that we have. That way you can end the working session with a feeling of accomplishment! **What to bring**: Laptop, Charger, maybe a power strip if you have one handy, any other game development tools you need. Try to download any software you need before the working session. There is Wifi at this location, but it may be slow if you have to download any large files.

This used to be my go-to cafe because it’s not far from home. They’ve got plenty of food options, espresso and coffee from local roasters Caffe Amouri, and dedicated parking. I’ll try to grab a comfy couch for us to enjoy the morning. (No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)
