Overview
Imagine a day writing code just for the love of writing it beautifully! A day without the office pressures of "getting things done" … a day just focused on practicing the art of writing clean, lean, modular and test driven code… Welcome to the Global Day of Coderetreat, an annual global event where passionate programmers come together to hone their skills.
GDCR 2016 will be held on 22nd October 2016 across 100-150 cities around the world… and will involve more than 2000 programmers world wide.
Nelkinda Software Craft Pvt Ltd and Equal Experts are proud to support the host Elsevier in facilitating the Oxford chapter of GDCR 2016.
This link gives an idea of what a typical Coderetreat Day looks like… and we will be following a similar structure on the day.
- Bring your laptop with your favorite language and IDE installed.
- Code in any language of your choice.
- We will be taking care of lunch and evening snacks.
