Hi all, when i was in Paris a few years ago, i attend several times the XP CodingDojo sessions : http://bit.ly/fXfzfs The reports (in french) of the sessions are available on the website.
I guess every CodingDojo in the world is a bit different, but in Paris it was very enjoyable (and also the first one to be invented). It was managed by a lot of people from the eXtreme Programming (XP) community and the aim of these session was to enhance the coding skills of each attendees by doing some very small exercices in a repetitive way. Sessions usually start with a retrospective discussions (5min) of what was done last time. The exercice of the day is then selected. There is two kind of exercices: Kata and Randori. You could found a small explanation of how CodingDojo session are conduct in Paris here: http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~gpollice/Dojo.html The sessions were completely language agnostic. I remember doing some Ruby, Python and Smalltalk. The session end with a lunch somewhere. More informations about the philosophy behind a Coding Dojo are available here: http://www.slideshare.net/ntoll/organise-a-code-dojo and here: http://www.slideshare.net/caikesouza/coding-dojo-2879242 I was wondering if we could do something similar in Ha Noi ?
