Coding Club: February 2023

Join us as we create a working club of coders working with coders. We welcome all levels of expertise from just learning to expereinced professionals as we work through coding problems and come up with great projects to collaborate on.

* * *

This month we will look at and work through a few problems posed on the CodeWars site. We will concentrate on Python problems starting at a very low level and working our way up.

John Sturman will facilitate the challenge and work it through - with your help.

See you there!
