<H2>What is the TechLadies Bootcamp #3?</H2>
<A HREF="http://www.techladies.co/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TechLadies</A> is a community for women in Asia to connect, learn, and advance as programmers. One of our main programs, the oversubscribed TechLadies Bootcamp, is back!
Held in Singapore, the TechLadies Bootcamp is a 12-week part-time accelerated learning program designed for women who wish to be professional programmers. Ladies are guided by industry experts to create products for nonprofit organizations. 30% of the graduates received technical internships and/or were hired as junior software engineers.
The next TechLadies Bootcamp will run from 29 Jul - 14 Oct 2017 teaching the Ruby programming language. <A HREF="http://www.techladies.co/techladies-bootcamp-3" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read more about the TechLadies Bootcamp #3 at this link</A>.
 
<H2>Apply to the TechLadies Bootcamp #3 </H2>
We learned that it is important for TechLadies Bootcamp participants to have some sort of programming foundation in order to build a web product that will be used by the NGOs. Hence, you will need to complete a <A HREF="https://github.com/TechLadies/technical-task" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">technical task outlined at this link</A> before applying to the <A HREF="http://www.techladies.co/techladies-bootcamp-3" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TechLadies Bootcamp at this link</A>.
Don’t worry, we are here to help you acquire the skills you need to complete the task with this series of workshops. You don't have to attend all 3 workshops if you have existing technical knowledge.
This workshop is also open to women who do not wish to apply to the TechLadies Bootcamp but just want to learn some basic programming skills. You will learn how to create and design a simple web application.
