Open Tech Calendar

This month we are having a coding dojo-like session where we will be practising Python programming. The general idea of these is to pair up attendees so that those with less experience have access to someone who can help.

While usually we settle on a single topic for the dojo, this time we are going to be playing a game of Escalating Requirements. This is where we start with a simple initial requirement and team members in turn make the required changes and suggest the next requirement to add.

The usual schedule for PySheff dojos works out to be something like this:

17:45 - 18:15: Informally, a number of us are likely to be at StreetFoodChef for burritos. While these are not provided as part of attending, anyone is welcome to join us.

18:30 - 18:45: Socialising time at UnionSt.

18:45 - 19:00: Discussion of the topic and decide groups to split into.

19:00 - 19:45: First programming session.

19:45 - 19:55: Quick break to discuss progress.

19:55 - 20:20: Second programming session.

20:20 - 20:30: Show and tell and discussion.

20:30 - late: Migrate to a local pub (tonight it seems it will be the Tap and Tankard on Cambridge Street, near John Lewis) for post event drinks. Note that this part of the evening is probably not suitable for any children to join in with, depending on the pubs.

Attendance is free and the event is intended to be suitable for all levels of python experience. If you'd like to attend this meeting, it is advisable to bring a laptop. Any under 18s who wish to attend must be accompanied by an adult, preferably also with an interest in Python.
