We can’t thank everyone enough who contributed and attended the Ruby on Rails Workshop for Women. From the feedback, it appears to have been a tremendous success.
So cool that folks travelled to Boston from as far away as PA to attend Ruby on Rails Workshop for Women!!
…it makes a huge difference to be able to ask someone stupid ?s.
I like being able to say that I deployed my first Rails application today before lunchtime 🙂 like running a half marathon.
Totally impressed with the amount of Ruby and Rails info the students absorbed.
I want to thank the teaching assistants at #rorw4w. You were never judgmental and always patient.
You know what’s a lot of fun? TAing at #rorw4w.
It was indeed entirely attitude-free, as promised – unique in my experience! I appreciated that so much, and I had a lot of fun, as well.
Read about what our teachers thought about the workshop. Sarah Allen wrote about Stone Soup and Andy Gregorowicz wrote about the workshop from his perspective. Or just check out the tweet stream.
Moving forward, we encourage our newly empowered programmers to meet monthly at the Open Source Code Crunch. If you want to stay in the loop, please join the OSCC mailing list.
Open Source Code Crunch
Women are a minority in most technical communities, but in open source communities the numbers are even smaller — by a factor of about ten or more.
The Open Source Code Crunch seeks to promote mixed gender collaboration. Programmers will meet monthly and use their skills towards open source projects in a welcoming, collaborative, attitude-free, newbie-safe environment.
First meeting will be on October 21st at 6pm
The Berkman Center
23 Everett Street, Second Floor
Cambridge, MA 02138
Phone (617) 495-7547
Please join our mailing list for future events and news.
