RailsBridge Boston welcomes 64 women into Boston Ruby community [video]

I was a TA at this one (and the last). It was really great to see the high turnout and how passionate the organizers are. Many thanks to all involved.

If you want to improve your people skills and ability to explain technical concepts (I'll be honest, I'm not very good at either, which is why I do this as practice), I really recommend answering beginner questions from people of a different background than your own. Apart from getting better at teaching (you work in a team, right? You need to explain your code) you can get a lot of insight into how programming language design is user interface. Users are a diverse group.
