Our aim is to give tools for women to understand technology. The Rails Girls events do this by providing a great first experience on building the Internet.
Rails Girls was founded in end of 2010 in Helsinki. Originally intended as a onetime event, we never thought to see so many local chapters all around the world! This guide has been put together to help you get started.
You can use our materials and instructions to roll out your own workshop in your city, workplace or kitchen! Read more about Rails Girls at http://railsgirls.com
View the guides at http://guides.railsgirls.com or clone this repo and install & run jekyll
cd railsgirls.github.com
bundle install
The guides use the pygments library to do syntax highlighting. If you don't have it installed you won't be able to see the highlight sections like the following:
{% highlight %}
{% endhighlight %}
If you aren't editing the code blocks, you can safely ignore this. If you want pygments, you can follow the install instructions in the "Pygments" section.
jekyll --server --auto
