Just spent another evening with a great bunch of women learning about JavaScript as part of the [Oz Girl Develop IT](http://www.meetup.com/girldevelopit-sydney/?ref=katecarruthers.com) program for 2011.

Discussing the plans for this year's [Oz Develop IT](http://www.meetup.com/girldevelopit-sydney/?ref=katecarruthers.com) with [Pamela Fox](http://twitter.com/pamelafox?ref=katecarruthers.com) and [Cathy Lill](http://twitter.com/cathyblabla?ref=katecarruthers.com) tonight it became clear that there's an interesting line up for the rest of 2011.

For example we're planning to run sessions on:

- SEO for geeks
- UX for n00bs
- Introduction to Blogging
- PHP for script kiddies
- Introduction to web programming - HTML and CSS
- and a special workshop on blogging for [Ada Lovelace Day in October](http://findingada.com/?ref=katecarruthers.com)

*Final dates for these sessions are yet to be confirmed.*

Some more about Oz Girl Develop IT:

> Want to learn how to code? Have a great idea? Don't be shy. Develop it.  
>  
> Though the web developer community these days is open and welcoming, it is still up to 91% male and it can be intimidating for women to learn and ask questions when they are in an extreme minority. We decided it was time to provide a place where all questions are OK and everyone can learn in a supportive environment. The idea started in New York, and now we're taking it down under to Sydney, Australia.  
>  
> Our courses focus on coding, leveraging existing technology, and having something to show for it (aka building sweet websites). We will start with a series on HTML/CSS, and if that goes well, we can hopefully offer additional series to continue building your skills, or repeated sessions of that series
