Ruby Monstas

We all know there are still not even remotely enough women in tech and we decided to do something about it. Our team has helped in organising and coaching at Rails Girls events but we felt we wanted to take the idea one step further. We want to host a regular Ruby study group for beginners! If you identify as a woman, and want to learn programming Ruby, learn how to build a web application, or are otherwise interested in joining or supporting our group, then feel free to get in touch with us.

Books

Learn to Code Now

SuperHi tried to recommend their students good books to read for learning HTML, CSS and Javascript but did find nothing great. Most guides were too technical, badly-written or just dull. So they made their own. It's 440 pages long and they have aimed it especially at people who work in the creative industry but anyone can read it.
