Hey SeaPIG folks, http://www.meetup.com/Mob-Programming-Seattle/events/108149322/ Join us next Monday (25th) at Solutions IQ's HQ in Redmond! I've just started up a Meetup group where developers new and old, female and male, friendly and nice can try out Woody Zuill's "Mob Programming" idea here in Seattle. Woody coaches a team of developers at Hunter Industries in San Diego, where six or seven developers spend their 40 hours each week in the same room working at the same computer on the same project. Kinda like pairing, but with others pitching in. Woody and I organized a three-hour session at Agile Open Northwest in Portland a few weeks ago, and we had just the funnest time. Three hours of this, randori-style, with the "mob" rotating with the navigator and driver. Everyone had fun, learned loads, and shared their nerdy knowledge with everyone there. People who knew no Python were coding away creating classes, and people who knew no Emacs were typing unreasonable key combinations to make it do amazing things. This will be our fourth meeting: we've met at Solutions IQ, Twisted Pair and most recently at Nordstrom's Innovation Lab (see below) in downtown Seattle, where we had eight guys working on a toy node.js browser-based chat app. We choose exercises that'll be fun and help us learn new stuff. We're beginning to plan things a little ahead: Monday will be in Python, and we'll probably work on a Qt/PyQt application.  WE WANT MORE WOMEN AT THIS GROUP! See here for more: |
