A jam is different from a sprint, which builds a specific end-product. In a jam, you start at the place where you are comfortable, and you move and explore at the pace that allows you to learn the most. It’s not about how far you get or how fast, it’s just about progress and exploration.
A Programming Jam has two basic principles:
1. Everyone starts from a different place.
2. Everyone learns at a different pace.
In a jam, you can explore whatever you want, however you want. We provide space, time, camaraderie and whatever expertise we have among us. You may work individually or in groups. People working on the same topic in the same space seem to learn more and have a good time. And we don’t get stuck so often.
There is no set agenda or prescribed exercises for you to do (although we offer suggestions). You work at your own pace, on whatever interests you.
The first day we will focus on getting up to speed on the technology. This will involve informal discussion, along with information sharing from people who have already had more experience. Most people will want to work through formal tutorials or exercises in order to get up to speed during this day. If you are already comfortable with the basics you are free to explore more advanced topics and work on more sophisticated projects.
One thing did catch me eye: ” ... and similar frameworks.”
