The Baltimore Code Craftsmanship meetup group will hold its monthly meeting at 7:00pm on Thursday, March 27 in room 107 of the Physics on the UMBC Campus. The meetup is for students, faculty and software developers in the Baltimore area that care about the quality of their work and want to practice and improve their programming skills, share what they know and learn new things from others.

This is a hands on coding user group with no presentations. Each meeting will be a dojo where we will go through a challenging software craftsmanship exercise that focuses on clean code, test-driven development, design patterns, and refactoring. We will pair up and practice on a kata in order to learn and apply the values, principles, and disciplines of software craftsmanship. Come with your laptop equipped with your favorite programming and automated unit testing environment. If you don’t have a laptop, come anyway, we will need only one laptop for every two people. Be prepared to pair up, learn, share and have fun!

Data is crucial to our lives, but it can be hard to make sense of. That’s what makes these visualization tools potentially transformative.

In a world where bits travel at thousands of miles per second, the last 10 inches of the journey—those separating the screen from the user—are where communication stops.
