<P>Welcome back to the London Python Dojo, hosted once again by Bank of America. Please bring photo ID!</P>
<P>We will have our usual mixture of beer and pizza, socialising, lightning talks, hacking on silly problems and more beer. Also, once again, we're giving away a much-sought-after book thanks to <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://oreilly.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">O'Reilly</A>.</P>
<P>So book now for a free ticket!<BR></P>
<H2>What is a dojo?</H2>
<P>A coding dojo is a safe place (we use the PyCon UK <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.pyconuk.org/codeofconduct/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">code of conduct</A>) 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.</P>
<P>All programming abilities welcome, we have diverse attendees ranging from beginners to core Python contributors!</P>
<P>Here's a <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.slideshare.net/ntoll/the-london-python-code-dojo-an-education-in-developer-education" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">presentation given at Europython 2011 that explains things further</A> And a blog post: <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://ntoll.org/article/how-to-run-an-awesome-code-dojo" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">"How to Run an Awesome Code Dojo"</A>.</P>
