Over 2,000 software programmers around the world will spend the day participating in the craft of software development using the Code Retreat format. Code Retreat is a day-long, intensive practice event focused on the fundamentals of software development and design.

The main goal of the Global Day of Code Retreat is to promote the concept of practice in the development community. Developers from more than 90 cities will team up in coding a simple game – the Game of Life – six times each. Every time they will focus on a different aspect of writing quality code, sharing ideas and skills to learn from each other's mistakes. By providing developers the chance to take part in focused practice, away from the everyday pressures, is a highly effective means of skill improvement.
