Who are PyLadies?
PyLadies is an international mentorship group with a focus on helping more women become active participants and
leaders in the Python open-source community. Our mission is to promote, educate and advance a diverse Python
community through outreach, education, conferences, events and social gatherings.
What are we doing?
Our most important activity in PyLadies Vienna are online semestral Python beginners courses. They will lead you
through complete Python programming fundamentals in an entertaining way. No boring math, all lessons are taught
on easily imaginable examples and even programming of simple games.
What do you need?
In order to start, you need only motivation, enough free time and your own computer on which you can start to
learn programming - with permission to install new software.
Additional to the courses, we do:
Mentorship programme
We run a mentorship programme connecting mentees with mentors based on needs and wishes of the mentee and expertise of the mentors with focus on Python and other IT topics.
Discord and newsletter
We maintain a Discord group where we support an online community of PyLadies connected to our courses, Python meetups in Vienna and amazing IT related topics.
We also create a newsletter informing about our planned activities and selected Python news and tips.
Workshops and meetings
Offline community is also of great importance to us and it doesn't end with the beginner's course. If you want to continue with PyLadies, join our follow-up meetings in Vienna where you can come with your own project for advice and help. We also organize offline workshops on specific topics.
