13 February 2010 - Software craftsmanship - Code retreat with J. B. Rainsberger & Corey Haines
Code retreat number 7 (Romania)
Great news: we'll have in Bucharest, week February 8-13, two of of the most active and well known software craftsmen: J.B. and Corey . On Saturday February 13, J.B. and Corey will run a code retreat - one full day, as usual. More details about this type of event: www.agileworks.ro/software-craftsmanship/
What you have to bring with you: a laptop, your pair for programming & your programming-mood :)
The code retreat is basically a community free event and we do our best to keep it that way. MosaicWorks will sponsor a part of the event expenses, but we still need:
* a room for the code retreat (for around 24-26 persons); participants will come with their one laptops, no need of other computers in the room;
* some contribution/sponsorship for the food&beverage ;
Thank you in advance for your contribution to the AgileWorks community!

And few words in Ro.: Pe scurt despre intalnirea cu format Open Space: este o forma simpla de 'self-organizing meeting', orcine are de impartasit ceva la intalnire propune un topic pe care il descrie pe scurt in fata audientei (putin marketing :) ); topicurile sunt 'asezate' in sloturile programului (in functie de durata totala a intalnirii, un slot poate avea 20-25' sau chiar mai mult). Pot sa 'ruleze' mai multe sesiuni in paralel, participantii se pot muta de la o sesiune la alta in functie de ce ii intereseaza. Mai multe detalii despre formatul Open Space aici: http://www.agileopen....
De retinut pentru Open Space: Prepare to be surprized! :) daca nu vreti sa fiti (total) surprinsi, va invitam sa scrieti ce topicuri/subiecte va intereseaza utilizand http://groups.google.... (Google group)

Some teams use Scrum, some teams use Scrum with XP or some of them use their 'internal' methodology. Let's discuss what approach you use and what organizational and technical practices are chosen to be followed.

June Meetup: 20 Iunie 2009: Agile & Software craftsmanship - Code retreat
Agile&Software craftsmanship - Code retreat#1
Update: our first Code retreat is discussed on Software craftsmanship group
(from) Software craftsmanship manifesto - "Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals". Agile is about quality, results and learning. Software developers are proud of their code, but there is always something that can be done better (if we look in a honest way to our software applications). Code retreat este o tehnica de invatare rapida 'inventata' de miscarea software craftsmanship (derivata din XP). Cum ne vom organiza la code retreat? Vom avea de rezolvat o problema si trebuie sa respectam la scrierea codului anumite reguli. Vom lucra in perechi, la acelasi calculator, in iteratii de cate o ora. Dupa fiecare ora stergem tot codul si reluam rezolvarea. De aceasta data incercam cu 3 iteratii. Scopul este sa invatam&practicam tehnici de programare.
