IRL: Whiteboard Practice Night

Join Weekly Dev Chat for a whiteboard practice night focused on explaining your thinking clearly while solving coding problems — a skill that matters in interviews and on the job.

This is not about speed or perfection. We'll work through junior-friendly, approachable coding problems while practicing how to:

  • Understand the problem and build a solid mental model
  • Ask clarifying questions and state assumptions
  • Talk through your approach step-by-step
  • Explain tradeoffs (even for simple solutions)
  • Stay calm and communicate when you get stuck

The hosts will demo 1–2 example problems first, then attendees can volunteer to take a turn (whiteboard/interview style). Participation is optional — watching and learning is totally welcome.

The event runs on Wednesday, March 25 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at Edmonton Public Library – Strathacona. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Register and view full details on Luma:
