Ruby on Rails First Timer's Night

Details

Interested in learning Ruby and ails with an awesome group of women? Looking to build your first web app, learn more about coding, or build on existing skills?

Come to our First Timer's Night Ruby on Rails(ROR) Study Group. This event is intended for those new to programming and/or ROR (but we welcome people of all levels to attend and help out)! The agenda will include a lecture that covers Ruby and Rails and an installfest to help you set up Rails on your own computer.

This event is intended to be exclusively open for people who identify as women - we are transgender friendly.

Please bring a laptop to the event so you can participate in the installfest!
