Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (GMT)
UPDATE: 16/11/2009
Unfortunately, due to a late breaking problem with the booking at Caledonian University, we have had to change venue. The retreat will now be held at the Hilton Grosvenor which is at the top of Byres road in the West End. The format of the day will remain unchanged - although we will have to go out for breakfast and lunch.
I'll send a more detailed email to all attendees shortly but please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

---------------------------------
This November the first ever Code Retreat in the UK will be hosted in Glasgow. We are inviting developers of all skill levels to tackle Conway's Game of Life using Ruby.
BACKGROUND
A Code Retreat is a day long programming session based around a simple coding challenge. Developers of different skill levels are invited to engage in deliberate practice as equals. The goal is to learn, teach and improve with fellow software developers in a non-competitive setting.
If you are looking to improve your software development skills and network with people in your industry then please come along and embrace the challenge.
FORMAT
Pairs will attempt to solve the problem in 40 minute iterations. At the end of each iteration one person swaps with another pair and all code is deleted. The new pair then try to make a better solution based off their experiences.
We will be providing breakfast and lunch. After the event finishes we will be heading to a nearby pub.
