Independents Hall Philadelphia

Calling All Java Developers! November 1st, CodeRetreat @ IndyHall!

Filed under: Announcements, Community Support, Education/Workshops, Events, Independents Hall

At code retreat, we retreat from the world to advance in our craft. We sharpen our saws, together.

We retreat from production and business value to increase our production capacity, our quality, our velocity, our ability to produce business value.

We retreat from immersion in deep technology issues to advance in our ability to learn and adopt to any technology well.

We retreat from our fears, and embrace new practices and patterns.

We retreat from our local ponds and swim in a larger pool. We connect with other passionate coders who we seldom get to code with. We make new connections and learn new lessons.

At code retreat everything is about the journey and nothing about the destination.

Sebastian Hermida is organizing, and we are hosting, what sounds like a very exciting, interesting, and valuable event for the Philadelphia Java developer community. The iterative build/breakdown/discuss model of a “Code Retreat is explained rather well on his post about the event.

If you’re a Java developer in or near Philadelphia, I highly encourage you to register to attend the Code Retreat at IndyHall on Sunday, November 1st. They are requesting RSVPs, so please head to their sign up page if you plan to attend.

We love supporting events like this that are designed to bring people together for the sake of improving their craft. If you and your user group have plans for a similar event, please talk to us about hosting your event!
