Preston Codejo is a monthly meetup where the Magma Digital office on Winckley Square in Preston tranforms into a Coding Dojo. Developers will meet to hone their skills by performing coding katas.

Katas are taken from the Japanese martial art practice of detailed choreographed patterns of movements practised either solo or in pairs. These katas are exercised at Dojos (training places) with the idea that the skills learned in the katas become second nature during a fight situation.

In a similar way we plan to use these katas to enhance our programming skills in the real world.

This month we're going look at testing when things don't fit into convenient units. We'll introduce logging as a route to information you can see at the macro level, trend analysis etc.

We'll do this for a couple of hours then head over to Forum for a retrospective on the kata. Remember, it's about us all learning from each other and getting better at our craft.

Bring a laptop and your favourite IDE.
