About Code & Coffee

Code & coffee is an informal get together to write some code Thursday morning. There are no requirements other than the willingness to sit down, pair up, and learn something new. We're going with mornings because the evenings are full enough as it is. Why add to the chaos of user groups, soccer games, and lawn mowing?

If you're interested in joining in, just show up. No invited needed, you don't need to RSVP, you just need a laptop. Coffee not provided, but it's just a few steps away. ;)

Location will be updated in the posts below, feel free to drop a comment in if you're going to join us. Hope to see you there.

January 21 – Coding Kata at Stauf’s

We’re going to visit Stauf’s in Grandview again, and try out our first coding Kata. A quick question on twitter yielded a few suggestions to find our kata…

If you’re up and around at 7am and in the Grandview area, stop in for a Kata and Coffee session.

December 3 – Back to Stauf’s

We’ll head back to Stauf’s tomorrow for our session. Now that my new client is downtown, this will be a bit more regular gathering spot than Polaris. (But that shouldn’t stop you Polaris guys from getting together!)

Guessing I’ll keep plugging away at my Rails app. But, always open to other ideas. I’ve still got to get better…er, rather started…with some Javascript testing.

Special Saturday session – Nov 28

Thanksgiving put a damper on our regular Thursday edition, so why not get out of the house for a bit on Saturday for some coding? Off to Stauf’s in Grandview again.

November 12 – To Grandview!

First Code and Coffee blog entry in a while, we’ve been handling most of the communication through twitter.

We’ll return to Stauf’s in Grandview for this get together. My plan is to work on a little Rails app or do some qUnit testing. (Or both!) If you have something else in mind, bring your laptop and your ideas.

September 3

Code and coffee takes a trip back to Stauf’s for the Sept 3 edition. So, if you’re in the greater Grandview area, drop on by. Plan is to tackle some more qUnit, and if we get bored with that jump into a little Rails. Mike and Jon have said they’d join in…and now they have to, because it’s on the Internet.

August 20

Let’s meet at Polaris Caribou again, and this time I think I’ve got something to do rather than just the open forum. I’ve been itching to learn qUnit, and the Daily WTF is throwing out some coding puzzles every week or so. Combine the two, and I think I’ll do some javascript coding for their latest Bring Your Own Code.

If you don’t feel like javascripting it up, do your own thing. Come for some coffee and some good conversation, if nothing else.

June 18 – Stauf’s and Caribou again

Just like last week, we’re going to have two locations coding and coffeeing. Brian, Steve, and Jeff have said they will be at Caribou on Sancus. I will head to Stauf’s, and I believe Matt and Justin will be there, too. We’ve also been promised an objo appearance.

Feel free to hit either location if you have the time. Hopefully we make some headway on our Code and Coffee twitter app idea.
