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...
I know a cool young lady who happens to have an awesome kid! She completed 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 ?
