Dojos and Beer & Tech

Dojos sharpen your skills in technology-agnostic software development practices before you enter the arena.
Beer & Tech sessions are about showing off what is making waves in the industry in an informal way.

The Entelect Dojo

Dojos

The Entelect Dojo is an internal training initiative focused on technology-agnostic software development practices - all those cool things that improve the quality of our software, but we seldom practise before jumping into the deep-end. Domain Driven Design, UX and Static Code Analysis are examples of topics that we run at The Entelect Dojo.

Each session includes a heavy practical component - at least 75% of the allocated time is dedicated to running simulations, cranking out sample code, solving real-world problems, and building something useful that illustrates the key principles of the topic in question.
