Out of those years when the 3rd July is a Thursday!
Thanks to all who came along to Hogarth for the London Dojo last week. Here's some more details about what we got up to: We started with a talk by Mark Needham and Nigel Small about Neo4j and it's Python library py2neo. They showed us some advantages of graph databases, some cypher queries for extracting data and in his example a graph of data about the show 24. Mark asked me to remind people of the link to the repository for the Neo4j Python 24 Hackathon: https://github.com/nigelsmall/24 Our main event was group coding and the task voted in was "3 letter word game" sort of like the mastermind game, but a 3 letter dictionary word is selected, and the only feedback you get on your guesses is just "number of characters correct and in the right place". It was a good choice of task, as it's simplicity allowed time for people to start thinking about making an AI to play the game. And since we've done a better-than-normal job of corralling the teams' efforts into a git repository this time... for your viewing pleasure: https://github.com/ldnpydojo/3-letter-word - do bare in mind we only had an hour, although some of us couldn't resist a little post dojo tinkering... August is our month off at the Dojo, but I must remind you to sign up for the UK's Python event of the year: http://pyconuk.org/ It's proper fun and you'll learn loads too. It's over this long weekend: 19th - 22nd September. Finally, since I was too shy to mention it on the night: we (Hogarth) are hiring. If you fancy working with some of the most impressive Python devs I've met, come join us. Drop me a line for details, although beware: hitting reply to this email doesn't do what you think it does, a lesson certain people won't forget... ;-) Tom - @tomviner - @ldnpydojo On 26 June 2014 10:46, Alistair Broomhead <alistair.broomhead@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Tom, You say you're hiring. I'm a contract worker with 3 decades of experience. I normally work in the City. I'm trying to shift my skills from C++ & various relational databases to Python. Python is my favourite language. (If you were there for the 'pointless' dojo, that was my idea). I've only a few years Python experience and some holes in my skill set (especially web development). But I'm strong on algorithmic work and general development skills. At my full rate, I'd be too expensive for you, largely because of City skills I wouldn't be using. But I'm also not likely to get work until the end of the holidays. So if you would consider making me an offer at a rate which would be fair given the short-term commitment and sub-set of skills you'd be using, I'd be interested: it would be justified more by what I'd learn than the money. My CV: grazebrook.com/cv Michael. On 06/07/2014 23:02, Tom Viner wrote:
