What was the inspiration for cyber-dojo?
In 2009 I (Jon) was consulting in Norway. A user-group organized an evening coding-dojo
(in a local pub). An exercise, language, and test-framework was picked, and participants split
into teams of about 5 people. After ~90 minutes everyone gathered for a review...
two teams had nothing to show since they were still trying to install
the language and test-framework (using the pub wifi)
the other teams spent a longlonglong time trying to connect
their laptops to the projector (Linux, Mac, & Windows)
I became convinced an online coding-dojo was a worthwhile project
