PyLadies PDX guiding principles

We focus on catering to everyone that comes to our classes. We aim for 100% understanding.

We want you to learn from each other. We'd like the people you meet here to be colleagues for the rest of your career, regardless of what you do.

Starting out anything new is very hard. We base our course work on 20+ years of experiencing doing, but not teaching. We have a huge gap to overcome in our teaching. Sometimes, our pacing is off, or our explanations fall flat. Our job is to do better next time; your job is to let us know -- ask questions in class, and tell us after class what doesn't work for you.

Our spaces are designed for learning. Come ready to collaborate with others, try new, difficult and unfamiliar things.

We want you to be confident experimentors who can communicate with other programmers.

Finally: we want you to be confident enough to fail, and to help out others when they fail too.
