PyLadies workshop


About us

The PyLadies Workshop is a great opportunity to start your adventure with coding and Python. With us, you'll get to know the basics of Python - we guarantee a positive, beginners-friendly atmosphere. Our mentors will be there for you when you'll be learning the language and writing your first programs. They will also tell you how to continue learning on you own. Moreover, PyLadies gives you chance to meet other programmers and talk to experienced pythonistas, who will be more than happy to share their knowledge with you.

The workshop contributes to supporting diversity in IT. We follow PyCon PL's Code of Conduct, as a side event of the conference.
