Rails Girls Meetup (RDRC Edition)

Southeast Asia’s largest Ruby conference, Red Dot Ruby Conference, is back! Rails Girls Singapore is joining forces with RDRC to bring you this special edition of Rails Girls.

How special, you ask? We will be inviting Linda Liukas, the founder of Rails Girls, coming to speak to us all the way from Helsinki, Finland!
