Coding Grace Female-friendly workshops
It's 2015 and a brand new start to a brand new year.
There's one workshop this month, and it's learning to create your choose your own adventure game (AKA Interactive Fiction) with an opensource tool called Fungus (on Unity 3D), and will be mentored by Chris Gregan (Snozbot). It's on Wed 28th Jan (18:30-21:00), and location will be in Dublin city centre (TBA). Follow @codinggrace for latest updates.
If you haven't read it yet, you should check out Wired's article, Facebook’s First Female Engineer Speaks Out on Tech’s Gender Gap.
And here's 7 ways to be a better programmer.
We are also open to people hosting local chapters in their area, so do get in touch if you are interested.

Here's a happy and fun-filled year of learning new things.
