The majority of coding dojos are run using reasonably well known langauges such as Java. While this allows relatively complex problems to be solved, it also allows participants to take relatively large steps and get away with it. This dojo uses the same format as that created by Laurent Bossavit and Emmanuel Gaillot, but is aimed at reinforcing the idea of taking baby steps. This is achieved by using a language we hope is not known to the participants.

The session will be an introduction to the Coding Dojo format, a fun introduction to a slightly different language, and a forum to learn about the art of incremental development at a micro level. There is also an extremely basic ‘InformUnit’ which we could try and use if we wanted to put more emphasis on TDD.
