[Python Edinburgh] (no subject)

Fri Nov 28 14:49:21 CET 2014

There is a Python Dojo every two months in Glasgow, on the second Tuesday,

>From the mailout about it:
We are having a Christmas Dojo on the 9th of December. Twig are graciously
hosting us again. Details about how to get there are below.

A coding dojo is a safe place to practice and develop your coding skills,
and perhaps learn something new too. We brainstorm ideas for problems to
solve, choosing one by popular, if complicated, vote, and then break into
teams for an hour and a half of furious coding (at least, furious
something). To wrap the evening up each team does a quick "show and tell",
and then some folk usually head to the pub.

*All* skill levels are welcome, from seasoned Pythonistas to people just
thinking about trying Python out.

The dojo's are usually really well attended so make sure to get your ticket
