Workshop Description

Intended for women who are interested in learning Ruby on Rails. Men are welcome to come if you find a woman who wants to learn Ruby on Rails and come together.

In this workshop, we’ll take you through building a complete web application using Ruby on Rails. By the end of the day, you’ll have an application that connects to a database and reads and writes information. Please note that Installfest is required for participation in this workshop. We’ll meet up on Friday to install all of the software you need, and then spend Saturday learning and writing code. Programmers of all skill levels are welcome. We will have different classes separated by experience level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). Review curriculum materials.

We’re trying something new!

Been to our workshop before? We’re switching our workshops and experimenting with a new type of Installfest that will use a cutting edge technique of local development using virtual machines instead of a normal environmental install and set up. Therefore it’s extremely important that if you sign up to attend both the Installfest and the entire workshop the next day.
