A short summary of the day; starts early, around 8.30, there are 6 or | |
7 iterations of 45 minutes each, trying to solve Conway's Game of Life | |
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life). All iterations | |
are in pairs (one computer), and the language is chosen by the pair. | |
At the end of the 45 minutes you have to DELETE all your code, stand | |
up for a 5 minutes group retrospective (in which we ask uncomfortable | |
questions if no one speaks up), and then a 10 minute break to grab | |
some coffee and find a new partner for the next iteration. Each | |
iteration will have some additional rules (things like, no if | |
statements allowed, or applying 'tell don't ask', depending on the | |
groups and how we see fit). | |
Where: Wayra office (Sir John Rogersons Quay), Dublin |
