Girl Develop It Updates - February/March Edition
Kim Hamper
Hi all,
Happy Friday! A few Girl Develop It Columbus updates for your weekend:
Upcoming GDIC Classes
Classes are underway even as we speak! The Newbie HTML/CSS finished this past Tuesday, and the following classes are coming up:
Beyond the Basics of HTML/CSS - starts this Tuesday, March 4th; only a few spots left!
JavaScript - starting the first week of April
Ruby - starting the first week of May
Classes will continue to be posted to the Meetup group, so keep looking there for updates. After May, our next round of classes is slated for September, and will likely run through the fall.
As always, you can RSVP for a class directly through Meetup, and we have a few scholarships available if cost is a barrier.

Job Postings
Orange Development (1 Junior Dev, 2 Senior Dev positions) - I have 3 positions available in our Columbus office. I work in NYC (and work with our Columbus group regularly) -- we share info, have fun, develop amazing software and are a very collaborative team. We're mostly interested in HTML5/CSS3/Javascript, and I'm helping to train our teams in Angular (we're fans of Angular + web sockets). Additional details: corporate, competitive salary, full benefits. Will also train if the developers have HTML5/CSS/JS experience but are new to AngularJS. *IF* someone is looking for work, please contact me at dr...@orangedevelopment.com - would be happy to give some details.
