If you have not made it to a pub meetup before, they are very relaxed and easy going. We welcome all levels of Python experience and its a great place to discuss Python, ask questions and generally enjoy some geeky chat. There will be a printed Python logo on the table so everyone can find us. Sorry for the short notice, hope to see you there! Cheers, Dougal From dougal at dougalmatthews.com Tue Jun 24 11:07:26 2014 From: dougal at dougalmatthews.com (Dougal Matthews) Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:07:26 +0100 Subject: [Python Glasgow] Python Glasgow Dojo Next Month, 8th of July Message-ID: Hey all, tl;dr - tickets: http://pythonglasgow-dojo-july-2014.eventbrite.co.uk/ Next month we are running another Dojo! Twig are graciously hosting us again and will be providing pizza and beer to fuel your coding. You will want to press buzzer 32 (4th floor) at the following address: 4th Floor 14 North Claremont Street G3 7LE Glasgow To find out more about Twig, who produce digital learning resources head over to www.twig-world.co.uk For those of you that don't know, a dojo is a fun coding event where we split into teams and hack on a problem for about 90-120 minutes. The focus is to create something in that time - you can either hack around, follow strict test driven development or any other process you like. It's great fun and ideal for learning too. *All* levels of Python ability are welcome as you can contribute to your team with ideas and discussion. This is a great way to start learning Python. Last month we all created a "Blackjack bot" - some of the code is on GitHub[1]. To find out more about the Dojo, we follow the format of the London Python Dojo[2] and I also created notes for running the Dojo as I forget things: http://dougalmatthews.com/notes/running-a-code-dojo/ The dojo's are usually really well attended so make sure to get your ticket now at: http://pythonglasgow-dojo-july-2014.eventbrite.co.uk/ Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible there!
