Several people were interested in the Mob Programming group I wrote
about a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd write once more.
On Monday 15th 6pm-8.30pm we're meeting again in Redmond, to continue
the little PyQt app we started.
Code so far (not much this time - it's the learning we focused on):

*The session after that will be in downtown Seattle.*

Did anyone make it to this? How was it? What was it like? I couldn't
make it, but it sounded really interesting.

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!
