Programming + Pizza

Programming + Pizza is an open, free-form space for those interested in programming tools and computational research to build skills and community. Folks of all experience levels are welcome to bring their data-centric questions, insights, and projects to these semi-monthly events, to learn from and collaborate with one another (and eat free pizza, of course).

Some P+P sessions feature a presentation from a person or team working on an interesting coding project. Find a full list of past presenters on our website.
