Re: [python-uk] Reminder: London Python Code Dojo Tomorrow

2009-10-16 Thread Nicholas Tollervey

A quick write-up of last night's code dojo: 
http://ntoll.org/article/london-python-code-dojo-2

The beer and crisps Pyssup is next Wednesday (unfortunately I can't  
make it).


I've also just realised that during the round-up session last night we  
mentioned we should start a pattern of holding it on the third  
Thursday of every month. Unfortunately, I've just realised that the  
Pyssup guys "bagsied" the third "x" of every month for their event.  
Might I suggest we move the dojo to the first Thursday of the month so  
we keep some space between these events..? That'll mean the next Dojo  
will be on Thursday 3rd November, 6:30pm at Fry-IT's offices. Anyone  
have any problems with this..?


As always, comments and suggestions welcome,

Nicholas.

I won't be able to make that particular week (I'm sure you can cope 
without me for one week), but in general the first Thursday of the month 
sounds fine.


Many thanks to Marcus and Fry-IT for their venue, beer and pizza! Much

Currently our only criteria is good ale and somewhere central. So far we

1st Thursday of the month works for me. Let me know when we have
enough consensus to post a new announcement.

I still think after tic-tac-toe we should do a series of dojos to
build a event management site so we don't have to use
eventwax/upcoming/meetup/etc. :-)

I wouldn't mind carrying on with the tic-tac-toe code. Perhaps the
next thing we could work on is a wrapper that uses raw_input and print
to make the game playableish on the console. Advantage is that we're
building something on something we have built as a team. Frankly I
wouldn't mind seeing, as Tim pointed out, something of a spec. Nothing
formal but just a todo list so we don't have to guess what to build
next.

I think we should carry on with tic-tac-toe for now as well. I mean
when we're done with the problem.

Hashing out some user stories would be good so that we have an idea
what we want to build.

I agree with continuing with Tic-tac-toe... it was a lot of fun and I  
think it still has much mileage.


Didn't someone suggest that next time we do an informal requirements  
capture/user story on the whiteboard during the pizza and beer part of  
the evening..?


Cheers,
