Hi Everyone,
The event is something new, and I guess people are a bit skeptic about
it. People are sending in mails, along the lines of "Can I attend
this event, I am an experienced Python programmer?", "I am a newbie,
is the event for me?" First, let's reiterate the event format.
* The gathered members propose topics / programs to work on
* One program is selected from the proposed topics, through voting
* People are then divided into 4 groups of 5 people each (selected
in random)
* The group works on the code for about 1.5 hours
* Each group is then given 15 min to present their code, and get
review feedback
Now I will try to answer the question, "Is the event for me?"
If you are Python newbie, who has just started learning Python, the
event will involve writing medium sized Python programs. You will
learn by watching other experienced programmers code, contributing
your bit to the coding, understanding why people use one construct
over the other, etc.
If you are a seasoned Python programmer, you can learn a lot from a
Coding Dojo, as well. You will learn by answering newbie questions.
The questions will force you to think deeper, about why you do things
in a certain way, the advantages / disadvantages of a particular
approach, etc.
Both categories of people will mutually benefit from each other. It's
a win-win for everybody. So hurry up and sign-up for the event at
https://in.explara.com/e/python-coding-dojo !
Regards,
Vijay
