Howdy from all the CodeRanch staff, and welcome to the April edition of the Journal.

We know the date! Note down. Nov 04, 2022 - Nov 05, 2022.

Coderetreats are free day-long, intensive practice events, focusing on the fundamentals of software development and design. By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of "getting things done", the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of learning and nurturing software development skills.

All over the world, people are coming together in small communities of practices to learn, explore and grow.
