Rain Bar
80 Great Bridgewater Street, Castlefield
Manchester, England M1 5JG Get Directions
We've got a new format - Each week we'll announce a topic up for discussion for everyone to get involved around the table, feel free to bring along something to show relating to the topic.

This months Discussion Topic: "Coding Practices"
* Do you use version control, if so which one? When do you use it? Any scare stories of forgetting to?
* Do you test your code? If not, why? What would it take to make you test your code better? What tools do you use?
* Do you spec out your projects? How much? Do you do it religiously? Do you find any benefit?
* Do you practice XP? Pair coding? Agile development? Lean development? TDD?
* How do you run YOUR projects - what works and what doesn't?

What is GeekUp?
GeekUp is a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the North West. Our socials take place once a month in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester and are always a lively place to share ideas and spread a little knowledge.

Who can attend GeekUp?
While the focus for GeekUp is predominately web related anybody involved in the technology industry is more than welcome to attend a GeekUp. The monthly events are free, we just ask that you buy your own beer.

Rock on! I can't wait.

Awesome. Great choice of topic - very timely from the perspective of my organisation. Looking forward to seeing how the new format works out too. See y'all there.

gotta dig out that email from that manager telling us to stop testing because we were finding too many errors...who wants to test when you can have so much fun fixing fatal errors for months after release?
