Philly Code Retreat
If you’re a programmer/coder/web-maker/hacker passionate about your craft, this is for you. It doesn’t matter what language(s) you use or how long you’ve been coding-- just bring the desire to improve and learn from each other.
Code Retreat is a day-long, intensive practice event, where we focus on the fundamentals of software development and design. Away from the pressures of “getting things done”, we take the time to hone our craft by practicing testing, software design, pair programming as well as trying new things and learning from each other.
