Imagine a day writing code just for the love of writing it beautifully! A day without the office pressures of "getting things done" … a day just focused on practising the art of writing clean, lean, modular and test-driven code… Welcome to the Global Day of Coderetreat, an annual global event where passionate programmers come together to hone their skills.
