Friday 6pm: install software Saturday 10am-4pm (lunch provided)
This workshop is intended to reach out to women who are new to Ruby and Rails. To register, you must identify as a woman. Men, you are welcome to come if you find a woman who wants to learn Ruby and Rails who will register and bring you as a guest.
In this workshop, we'll take you through building a complete web application using Ruby on Rails. By the end of the day, you'll have an application on the internet that connects to a database and reads and writes information.
There are two tracks: one for people with limited or no programming experience, and one for people with experience in other programming languages and frameworks. Each participant needs to bring their own computer. We'll meet up Friday evening to install any software you need, and then spend Saturday learning and writing code. Childcare is available.
When you RSVP, please include
* your operating system
* what level of experience you have (HTML, CSS, Javascript, or other languages)
* your child(ren)'s age(s) (if you plan to bring any along)
