Hey all,

I <http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/>BM Watson 
<http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/> is hosting a 
coderetreat in Pittsburgh on Saturday, May 3rd!

*Coderetreat? What's that?*
Coderetreat <http://coderetreat.org/> is a day-long, intensive practice 
event focused on the fundamentals of software development and design.The 
unique coderetreat format (which eliminates the pressure of 'getting 
things done' and focuses on practicing basic principles of good design) 
has proven to be a highly effective (and fun) means of skill improvement.

*Cool! How do I sign up?*
You can sign up at http://pghcoderetreat1405.eventbrite.com 
<http://pghcoderetreat1405.eventbrite.com/>

*There's some stuff you should bring with you*
You need to bring a laptop with the development tools you require to 
write code using your chosen programming languages. We also recommend 
you come with a version control system like Git installed. You may also 
bring an extra keyboard and mouse (to make it easier to pair program). 
Coffee and lunch will be provided. Check out coderetreat.org 
<http://coderetreat.org/> for further details on what to expect.

*Show up and get your money back*
This is a free event. Really, it is. But sometimes people sign up and 
then don't come. That's not nice. So we require a $15.00 deposit. But 
when you do show up, you get it back in full.

You can also get it back if you send an email to pgh at coderetreat.org 
<mailto:pgh at coderetreat.org> by Sunday, April 27th and let us know that 
you are unable to attend.


I hope to see many of you there!

Jim++
