CodeJam is a monthly event for software developers to learn something new and then co-work together for the rest of the evening. This is a free event to attend, but since it overlaps with dinnertime, we have included an option to have dinner conveniently provided. You are of course welcome to bring your own food of choice or simply eat at some other time.

As for coding, we’ll provide the desks, electricity, and the WiFi, but please note that you must bring your own laptop to be able to work on code. We’ll start the event off with the educational part of the evening, which will be a 25- to 30-minute tutorial on a specific topic. After the hands-on tutorial wraps up, everyone is free to work on whatever they prefer until the end of the event at which time there will be a few minutes to share/demo what you’ve been working on if you would like to do so!

Event schedule:
5:30pm – Gather, eat, and hang out
6:00pm – Hands-on Python tutorial
6:30pm – Work on individual / group projects
8:00pm – Demo what you’ve been working on (optional)
