Our Events

Join Codurance online or in-person as we share insight and what we’ve learned from our experience as software engineers and craftspeople.

Upcoming Events

In person Newcastle

North East Coding Dojo

After a short intro, we’ll get into groups/pairs or work solo, whatever people feel most comfortable with, and start building. We will be working through one of the katas from the Katalyst website (https://www.codurance.com/katalyst).

In person Leeds

Leeds Coding Dojo

After a short intro, we'll get into groups/pairs or work solo - whatever people feel most comfortable with - and start building. We usually work through a kata (often from this website), but we're open to suggestions, if there's something specific you'd like to cover, please let us know.

You choose how you want to work and what language you want to code in - this could be a language you are familiar with or new to. So far we have seen Python, Javascript, C#, VB, Rust and Elixir. This session is about collaborating with others, becoming a better developer and building your network, in a fun, relaxed environment.

Throughout we will be sharing ideas, discussing best practices and using this as an opportunity to learn from our fellow coders. There's no need to be a professional developer - if you're interested, come along.
