Last weekend our colleagues in Poland supported Rails Girls Krakow, a free two-day workshop that helps girls and women to gain the skills, confidence and experience they need for a career in technology and programming. Thank you to everyone who gave up their time and made the event such a success! We are proud to support Rails Girls London, too, and to be doing our bit to help software developers at every stage of their careers.
