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 together and learning from each other. Welcome to the Coderetreat, an event where passionate programmers come together to hone their skills.

What is Coderetreat?

This event gives you an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, by perhaps trying to do something a way you've not tried before. For example, trying a new language or a new Programming paradigm. If you write only one line of code, but it's the best code you have ever written to date, then that is a win!
