Coding dojo sessions

This repository's description came from this reference: https://code.joejag.com/2009/the-coding-dojo.html

Our goal is to learn, teach and improve our technical practices and communication skills with fellow software developers in a non-competitive and inclusive setting.

A Coding Dojo is a programming session based on a simple coding challenge. Programmers of different skill levels are invited to engage in deliberate practice as equals.

The premise of a Coding Dojo is to promote continuous learning in a safe environment. It is both non-competitive and inclusive. People of different skill levels collaborate together, encouraging each other to talk openly about design and techniques.

We believe that Coding Dojo represents a different challenge to developers. It encourages them to speak to an audience about their code, which is a different skill to producing it. These skills are developed during a Dojo as it simulates social and self organisational skills. It makes people become more rounded software engineers and discover potential areas of improvement.
