Want to learn website development? Or want to help more women join tech?

RailsBridge is a free, open-source workshop that is intended to reach out mainly to women who are interested in learning web development. This is the first RailsBridge workshop in Shanghai, so we're starting on beginning front-end (the part you see) web development, specifically HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (we will be doing a back-end Ruby workshop in the future). Men are allowed to sign up as students if they sign up with a woman.

This workshop will be led in English, but we hope to have Chinese-speaking volunteers who can help as needed. Students should bring a laptop that already has Sublime Text (or another text editor downloaded onto it). It is also useful, but optional, to have Google Chrome. As with all RailsBridge events, we will make an effort to provide childcare if needed.

HULT International Business School is most easily accessible from the People's Square Metro stop, exit 14. Map: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214705170228158071651.0004ebfaf5744b0203513&msa=0
