You heard about Rails Girls and want to be a coach? Here you’ll find all you need to know what coaching actually means.
First of all, Coaches are patient, tolerant and open people! This goes for everything, but also for technologies and solutions you might not chose for yourself. Whether or not you like RSpec or TestUnit, ERB or Haml, or whatever text editor you prefer does not matter to students at all. They are in a learning position and whatever gets them started, curious and eager to learn is a perfect tool – no matter your personal preferences. Keep in mind that your preferences – just like "common knowledge of the community" – is a result of a long, long learning process which you, and the community have gone through. Give your students the same chance to discover. Our goal is to get people started, learning and staying excited about coding!
