I'm very excited to announce the first monthly meeting of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pittsburgh Coding Dojo</span> - Thursday April 27th; 6:00PM at the Pittsburgh Technology Council.<br><br>Enthusiastic developers are addicted to programming. They want to exercise their skills and share their skills with others. The Pittsburgh Coding Dojo is being created to feed that addiction.
<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">The Dojo is intended for people who value their programming skills and have a strong motivation to improve. Programmers at any skill level, from novice to master, will benefit from attending.
<br><br>The meetings will be partly self-organizing to allow members to shape the activities to fit their interests. However, some ground rules will apply. Pair Programming and Test Driven Development provide a self-controlling environment where developers are motivated to share techniques and collaborate with their peers.
<br><br>Because this group encourages active participation, computers are needed for every two programmers. Registration will be controlled so that we have an average of 1 computer for every two developers. Also, the group will be kept small (approx 6) to allow the individual pairs to communicate as a group.
