Hey Tami, Monk Development offers some courses: http://www.monkdevacademy.com/courses/
Alex Boster (an SDRuby member) recently organized San Diego's first Railsbridge workshop, a free day-long introductory course for women and their friends. I know he wants to hold more, but I don't know if he has concrete plans yet. You'd probably want to contact him if you're interested. More info: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/sdruby/railsbridge/sdruby/bI842j29wW4/foO2sX1mRtsJ SDRuby also holds "hack nights", small gatherings that would be a good place to get talented Rails folks to help you out. More info: http://www.meetup.com/sdruby/ And of course, come to the SDRuby meetings! And go to Rock Bottom afterwards. The talks are a good opportunity to learn a bit and soak up the Ruby culture, and the bar is a great chance to talk to a bunch of cool people and make some useful connections (plus ask any random questions you want to ask, we're very opinionated).
