For the benefit of everyone, I'm posting to the list. Below is a question I received.<br>
<br>
Code retreats can vary widely in how they are run. There's not a 'set' way of doing them. Without getting too verbose, here are the main details of ours:<br>
<br>
1. Language agnostic, so if you like Perl, Java, Erlang, it's all good.<br>
<br>
2. Bring your laptop, we are not providing workstations.<br>
<br>
3. Count on doing code paring sessions.<br>
<br>
4. We will probably have a single problem to solve, work on it with a partner for 45 minutes or so, then switch partners and start from scratch.<br>
<br>
5. This can be done 3-4 times in the morning. Break for lunch, with maybe a lightning talk, kata, or some other beneficial activity. Then do it again 3-4 times in the afternoon.<br>
<br>
6. The idea is not necessarily to solve it, but to explore the problem space, work with others, and open your mind to new ideas.<br>
<br>
7. Breakfast and lunch will, of course, be provided. The event is free!<br>
<br>
<br>
Does that answer most of your questions?<br>
<br>
Please sign up, there are still many open seats!<br>
