Rails Girls is coming to Auckland for the first time! During this free two-day workshop we'll dive into the magical world of Ruby on Rails.
All of the material is available for you to learn at home by yourself but Rails Girls offers a casual and friendly environment to learn with others and a good tutor to student ratio to help get past some tricky areas.
You learn designing, prototyping and coding with the help from our coaches. We introduce you to Ruby on Rails as one of the open-source web developing frameworks.
You need your own laptop, curiosity and a sprinkle of imagination!

How much does the workshop cost? Nothing, it's free! You just need to be excited!
Who is this aimed at? Rails Girls Auckland is open to all those who identify as women or girls with basic knowledge of working with a computer. We’ve had people of all ages taking part.
Can men attend? Yes, but you need to be accompanied by an interested lady. Also, girls are given a priority.
Do you have a code of conduct? Yes - it is here. We expect attendees, coaches, and sponsor representatives to behave respectfully to make sure everyone has a great time.
