Excellent! I have never been in the company of so many women interested in coding. I was energized by met inspiring people and the open, supportive, collaborative environment. Great job!

When we sign up for this first class, do we pay $90 up front with the assumption that we will be attending all 4 classes?
April 7, 2013
Hey there,
Correct, payment is processed when you register for the class. (If there's any risk that you cannot make all 4 classes, then we strongly recommend that you wait for another class that better fits your schedule.) Hope that helps, let us know if you have any other questions. :)

Does this class require that I bring a laptop with me? Because I only have a desktop.

When is the last day we can pay for the classes? I really want to attend but it would mean missing work for 4 Thursdays in row, have to run it by my boss before I decide to go forth with the payment.

We take students up until the day before - generally, we only try to cut it off so that we can make sure we have enough spaces/cords/materials for everyone. :)

Hey Cynthia - You can pay for the class up until the day of the class. Hope you can join us! We are working on getting other classes scheduled and we will offer this one again.
March 23, 2013

Why is this so expensive? Were is the money going? Is this really a non-profit group?
March 6, 2013
Hello there! Thanks for your question! The costs of the class is $11.25 per instruction hour. The class is 8 hours of instruction over 4 nights. Half of the fees are to pay the instructor the other half is used to cover costs to coordinate and rent space for classes, host events for the group and a small portion is sent to headquarters to cover cost associated with supporting all chapters and creating new curriculum. We are absolutely a non-profit organization that puts all of our "profits" into the perpetuating our mission. We are looking into finding businesses to sponsor our class/events so costs can be lowered and scholarships can also be offered. I hope this answers your question - please email me directly if you have any more questions. We are having a free event on March 27 (check out the Social Mixer on the meetup page for details) where we will be talking more about what we do and meeting ladies who are a part of the group!

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

While I've still a lot to learn, after taking the class I've been able to go in and alter HTML for my company's WordPress blog. Just minor cosmetic changes for now but their default coding functions have been so restrictive & wonky it's great to finally make it look more like I want it to. Also am applying these new skills a bit to my personal Blogger site (see profile for link!).
