Description

We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. This month's meeting is on the 27th floor.

LIVE CODING at 7pm

Main Event: LIVE PAIR PROGRAMMING with Lauren Voswinkel and Sam Livingston-Gray

In lieu of a formal presentation this month, we'll have two veteran Ruby developers throw a terminal session up on the big screen and try like heck not to make complete fools of themselves!

Lauren Voswinkel: Conway's Game of Life Code Retreat.

Assuming we're not having too much fun with the live coding, we'll take 30-45 minutes to work on Conway's Game of Life. Pair programming is highly encouraged, but is not required. We'll take some time to talk about what we learned during the exercise, as well as what approaches worked and what didn't. The whole idea of this exercise is to have a space and time to actively practice coding.

Please Bring Your Laptops

After the madness, we'll have more socializing time.

Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!
