RubyOffRails Scholarship for Women
I have an opportunity to do something, and I want to do it. Ruby is awesome, and I’ve been inspired by RailsGirls and Kids Code Camp. I want to bridge the gender gap in software development, and this is an initial step for me to do something.
The Ruby online training course starts July 31, and I’ll keep applications open through August 3rd Thursday Morning, August 2nd. It’s a self-paced course, so if you start this week you won’t be behind. I’ll be granting scholarships to the candidates I feel have the best chance to succeed and will have the most impact. Obviously subjective, but I think this will work. Apply and learn how to be a happy programmer!
