Every software engineer needs to practice. Born from the attendees of Code Retreat Boulder 2011, we meet bimonthly to hone our skills working on interesting problems. The Code Retreat format was developed by Corey Haines and others. The essence of the format is that people pair-program on a problem for 45 minutes then throw away their code, take a short break, switch partners and repeat the process. Classically, these are full-day events including 6 programming sessions, a long lunch, and beer …

The main focus of the group is on software/web development, but we are open to programmers from other fields as well (science, medical, IT, etc).

Women Developers and Programmers! Want to learn how to code? Have a great idea? Don't be shy. Develop it.

There isn't a comfortable place where women can learn at their own pace and not be afraid to ask "stupid questions." We decided it was time to provide a place where all questions are OK and everyone can learn in a s …

I started this meetup to share my knowledge of natural movement with people to empower them to feel free to explore their environments (or even just to move freely and without pain). Through achieving physical freedom, people can also come to a state of mental and emotional freedom. There are few opportunities in our modern lives to move in ways that are personally expressive, spontaneous, and adaptive. Normally, we join a fitness program that has us doing sets and reps of constrained, repetitiv …
