Internal Coderetreat

Expand your mind and your problem-solving skills through deliberate practice

A coderetreat is a deliberate practice workshop that lasts a whole day. It improves your team’s skills as we focus on pair-programming, refactoring techniques, unit testing, code design, and team communication. The coderetreat is held all over the world as a community event, but it can be organized as an internal event as well. It proved to be an excellent skill development and team-building exercise with massive benefits for attendees.
