At the initial Android User Group, we challenged attendees to identify goals for the group, and activities to meet those goals. The group is motivated to be a ‘doing, learning, and contributing’ group, and one of the top suggestions for getting the group engaged was to jointly develop a set of Android programming exercises, called Katas.
For more information on Katas, this summary provides background and how we'll approach the activity:
For the meeting agenda:
- We'll have a brief discussion around Android News, possibly do a short developer tip/how-to,
- Have a Git and GitHub primer that should get you the basics of this popular version control system,
- Solve the Kata exercise in a simple Android app in small groups,
- Gather feedback on the Kata process.
We need 5-6 folks with a laptop running the Eclipse/Android SDK, who are willing to set up a free GitHub account ahead of time and bring their laptop for the small group to use. Please volunteer and contact Brad and Peter for prep instructions. It should be pretty simple.
Thanks to Code 42 for hosting, and Pearson VUE who has agreed to sponsor beverages and snacks.
