Ruby will be the main language of the retreat. Other languages are welcomed, especially if you have a pair using the same language to work with. This Code Retreat is not intended to be a language learning day, rather a crafting/honing of what you know.
We'll start our journey on Saturday coding at the Sun Music Hall in downtown Floyd. We'll then move to Apple Ridge for a full catered pizza/beer social Saturday night and more pair programming on Sunday. We'll be providing delicious local, organic food and snacks throughout the weekend.
