Ruby On Rails Workshop
Details
***** NOTE: Please note the date change to September 15th! *****
Interested in learning Ruby on Rails? Or perhaps you are already familiar with Ruby on Rails but want to learn more (or work on your own project)?
This is the third session of the Ruby on Rails workshop series from Women Who Code London, catering for all skill levels.
We will provide the learning resources and coaches to help out on the night. We'll try to group different skill levels with coaches and the materials will be organised for skill levels. If you like to work on your own, that's fine too we can designate a quiet learning corner for this group :)
*** Rough outline ***
• 6.30 - 6.45pm - meet and greet
• 6.45pm - 7.20 pm - Talks
• 7.30pm - 8.30 pm - coding time
Catering will be provided before the talks
Note: You will need to bring your laptop for this meetup. See instructions below on what you need to install beforehand
