Sessions

What happens in the room each week, what to bring, and how it relates to the target you are carrying.

Each week you apply that week's technique to one program. Where your assignment target suits the technique, use it — the work counts twice, and several weeks are built so that it will. Where it does not suit, take one of the suggestions offered; understanding a technique your own target does not need is most of what the course is for.

No target fits all twelve weeks. Week 3 wants something written in JavaScript; week 9 wants something you can obtain as a compiled binary; week 11 wants something that draws. Suggestions are given every week so that nobody spends the hour deciding what to work on.

Because the room is working on different programs, the comparison across the room is the part you cannot get alone — the same technique against a dozen targets, succeeding and failing for reasons you would never have hit yourself. Bring a laptop, and something you are prepared to be wrong about.
