#ldnpydojo

The London Python Code Dojo is coming back on the Thursday 10th January at 6:30pm.

This time Verve is hosting us in Vauxhall:

The office is based in Vauxhall, about 10 minute walk from Kennington, Oval or Vauxhall tube stations. It's in a co-working space called "The Handbag Factory". If you're walking from Vauxhall station, turn left once you are past the gas station (opposite of Tesco), and then it's the big silver metal door on the left.

There is an internal bike store behind the building which people can use. But call in at the front door first so someone can let you in.

We will have our usual mixture of socialising, and hacking on silly problems. For those who wish, there will be post-Dojo socialising in a nearby pub. And of course the O'Reilly book give away.

So book now for a free ticket!

What is a dojo?

A coding dojo is a safe place (we use the PyCon UK code of conduct) to deliberately practise and develop your coding skills, and perhaps learn something new too. We don't really (read: never) stick to a strict dojo format but rather brainstorm ideas for problems to solve, choosing one by popular, if complicated, vote, and then break into teams courtesy of the London Python Dojo Fully Patented Numbering Scheme for an hour and a half of furious coding (at least, furious something). To wrap the evening up each team does a “show and tell”, and end with drinks in the pub.

All programming abilities welcome, we have diverse attendees ranging from beginners to core Python contributors!

Here's a presentation given at Europython 2011 that explains things further And a blog post: "How to Run an Awesome Code Dojo".
