We haven't really been doing workshops at Thursday js nights recently. It's
been mostly communal hacking, although I want to have more workshops.
While I don't think she should go exclusively to events for women, I think
they can be a really good idea for female newbs and can provide some great
connections.
She's welcome at js night, though I'd encourage approaching it as a place
to hack and learn vs. network, unless you mean networking as in helping
with mesh...

one of those developer bootcamps and is looking for a job.
I feel guilty because I know nothing about the web development industry
for boot camp graduates- I know people will have many good and bad things
to say about boot camps or the development industry!
Anyway, I met a lot of nice people who were doing javascript workshops
.Are these still going on? I keep sending her to these nice but ultimately
not very helpful for getting a job or becoming great at programming all
women events that are sponsored by tech companies. ( These events are cool
once in a while and are a great way for men to show support, but going only
to all women events could handicap her IMHO. For beginners they are nice
and augment networking but should not replace it - She needs more than
inspirational talks, she needs mentorship and technical schools and
connections)
Are there other boot camp graduates who are interested in hanging out ?
I've also been guiding her to contribute to open source. I think there was
a javascript event, right ?
