This workshop is for women (trans and cis), trans men and genderqueer folks.It is an opportunity to improve your coding skills by pair programming on a code kata.

To get the most out of this event, student developers should roughly fit within the following experience descriptions:

-Javascript-
Some experience writing JavaScript at a front-end workshop or personal project
You have a basic understanding of the Browser DOM (Document Object Model)
You have built a website or other app on your own

-Ruby-
Some experience writing Ruby at a prior workshop and/or personal project
You have built a website or other app on your own

Volunteers: We are requesting that volunteer developers have at least 2 years of programming experience and prior pair programming experience.

This workshop will focus on a bowling kata! At the beginning the night, we'll clearly define the scope of work. The point is to sharpen your pairing communication and coding skills, not to finish the kata. If you finish the kata, you're doing something wrong :)
