CodeUnion loves to get people together to learn and write code. Yesterday we hosted our first meetup. A quiet yet solid learning evening, we worked on a few different CodeUnion kata.

People frequently ask us how we structure our workshops. CodeUnion workshops revolve around a small group of people progressing through a series of code projects and challenges. The goal of these projects is very simple. We want people to write lots of code. More importantly, we want people to get frequent if not multiple times day feedback on their code. We don't want people stressing out, "Is this good code, is it bad code..." We want people to write code in an unhindered fashion while simultaneously not thinking about anything other than having fun and getting feedback from more seasoned developers.
