Rails Girls Melbourne 7th October 2023


Rails Girls is back in Melbourne! During the free one-day workshop, we'll dive into the magical world of Ruby on Rails.

We are offering two tracks:

Rails Girls

A great starting point if you're new to coding, web applications, and Ruby! You'll learn designing, prototyping, and coding with the help from our coaches. You don't need any previous coding experience. You do need your own laptop, curiosity, and a sprinkle of imagination!

Registration for Rails Girls open now

Rails Girls Next

You've done Rails Girls - now take the next step! We'll be diving even deeper into programming in Ruby, covering topics like Test Driven Development, Agile Software Development, and you'll have the chance to workshop the famous toy robot challenge with our wonderful coaches. To participate in this workshop, you're required to have either done the original Rails Girls day or have some prior programming experience.
