Starting the Two Scoops Study Group
Key point
The 8percent Product Group is starting a study group on **Two Scoops of Django 1.11**.
Details
The 8percent Product Group has started a study group to read Two Scoops of Django 1.11 together in order to build an in-house learning culture. It's the first study group led directly by the CTO, and Django, the team's main web framework, was chosen as the topic.
They had previously tried a study group on Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby, but couldn't finish it due to the busy schedule typical of a startup. This time, finishing the study group is the top priority, and they've put measures in place to keep the learning organization going.
- They scheduled study sessions after work hours to reduce the pressure from work.
- They decided to make progress public on GitHub wiki and the blog to increase continuity.
- They invited outside members as well, making it harder to push back the schedule just because of internal company circumstances.
The first session already took place last Wednesday, and a recap will be shared soon. Also joining the study group is a designer who is studying HTML/CSS alongside them.
