Jed-i Patterns

When was the last time you sat down and solved a problem? A technical problem. Purely for the JOY of the challenge. Or wrote a piece of killer code that you were really PROUD of? Yes, you have a team to manage. Deliveries to make. Deadlines to meet. No time to pause and ponder? or to study and wonder?

What you really need is intellectual stimulation; some steaming hot COFFEE for your brain.

Which is what you will get. Lots of questions. Lots of interaction. And when you leave, you will leave with a sense of AHA! Your intellectual coffee fix.

If you are curious, yearn for challenges, want to have some fun, come over. Just BRING your brain along.

Feedback

  • This is the only program that held me engrossed for 6+hours. I've never been so attentive for such a long period. It helped me reinvent myself as an engineer and inspired me to look for fundamental aspects of engineering and appreciate the magnificence of contribution from the greats... I'd highly recommend it to any engineer. And would definitely attend a longer course or even a different course for sure. The best use of a Saturday of my professional life
