Hi guys, Apologies for the late reply. MADLAB has three floors, although the first floor is used by the co-working space Fly the Coop. I've been to MADLAB before when they've had meetings both on the second floor and downstairs by the entrance, although I'm not sure if they do have two projectors available. I went to North West Perl Mongers a few months back at MADLAB and their meeting was on the second floor.
Another group that I go to called XP Manchester does coding dojos. They're usually only an hour each and we do them after the discussion part of the meeting. We've just done simple tasks like setting up unit tests for basic C# applications, where we do pair programming and rotate the developers so everyone gets a go at writing some code. I've really enjoyed them and learned a lot. I find that I can learn much more by actually writing code than from discussing it or reading about it. As well as North West Perl Mongers, there is also the North West Ruby User Group next Thursday. Of the three, I choose Python though. :) Daley On Sep 7, 9:55 pm, Safe Hammad <[email protected]> wrote: > > On a different note, I've noticed that different groups do different > > things with different focuses - either a pyssup for a pub meet, talks- > > meet for lightning talks or longer things, or the python code dojo > > thing. > > > Personally, I'm curious about the code dojo thing.
