So grateful for the opportunity to have participated in the SF Ruby Meetup \/ Rails Outreach for Women<\/a> this Saturday at the Twitter<\/a> headquarters. These events have been taking place every month or so, and were created to improve the diversity of the Ruby on Rails<\/a> programming community. The hosts and volunteer teachers were incredibly open and supportive; I was confounded that so many interesting people were forfeiting their Saturday (one with gorgeous weather, none the less) just to teach back to some total strangers.<\/p>\n

After sweating a little at the install-fest on Friday, I was relieved to be placed in a group with other newbies to the programming experience. We covered the length and breadth of core computing concepts, made friends with our Terminals, dined on a delicious lunch from Whole Foods, played with objects, methods and arguments, and launched our own mini web-apps by the end of the day. I was lucky to meet several Ruby developers who shared their enthusiasm for their work and encouraged me to keep exploring the field. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!<\/p>\n
