In order to get some practice at the event we're going to run a workshop on the 23rd and 24th. What's Rails Girls? It's an event designed to get women into tech. In a friendly and pleasant atmosphere you get to code up an app with other women. It's an opportunity to learn some basic rails and web development techniques. It's an opportunity to dabble in technology with people like you. Check the video at http://railsgirls.com for a flavour. It's true that most people on this list wouldn't get much out of this from an educational point of view. However it is likely you know someone that would. Partners, family members, friends or colleagues, are all welcome. Experience doesn't matter. What matters is your desire to give it a go. How can you help? Easy, in the first instance you can spread the word. Forward this email, stick it on your work notice board, why not project it over a building? :) In the second instance you can coach. If you know rails well enough that you could teach others I'd love to hear from you. Particularly female rails devs. Interested? Cracking :) Apply at http://railsgirls.com/melbourne.
