About Our Audience

Generally, our audience is women that are tangentially involved in web development. That may mean:

• They are working at a startup and want to learn more about what their colleagues do.
• They are looking to transition from a non-technical role into web development and teaching themselves it.
• They work in other areas of software development or are Computer Science students and want to learn more about web development specifically.

When we're not sure the topic breakdown to cover for a topic, we sometimes ask questions when they RSVP and use that to guide the content. We can ask them about their prior experience with related technologies, and ask them what they hope to do with the knowledge from the workshop.

We can also specify a set of prerequisites for a workshop, but beware that if the prerequisites are very advanced, then we will not have as many members eligible to attend.

Generally, we try to teach to the more newbie crowd, and we cater to more advanced segment of the crowd via “bonuses” in the exercises.
