  DevEvening: Christmas CodeFest

  Woking, United Kingdom

  This time we're trying something different:We all learn in different ways. While it can be good to learn by hearing people present and demonstrate new techniques, it can also be good to learn by seeing how different people solve the same problem.  That's what we hope to do at the CodeFest.The plan is for everyone to write automated players for a simple game.
