Global Day of Coderetreat

Knoxville/Oak Ridge will be participating in the Global Day of Coderetreat on December 8th from 8am to 5pm!
You’ll be working on Conway’s game of life in pair-programming fashion with some variations on how you go about working together. Please bring a laptop with your preferred development tools — it doesn’t matter what platform or language you want to use. Wi-fi will be available.
Although the official Coderetreat website has a mechanism for indicating that you’ll be attending the event, for now please use this link to RSVP on this site. We’ll have room for about 20-25 people.
