CoderDojo is a global network of programming clubs for kids. Here, young people between 7 and 17 can learn how to code, from the basics of Scratch up to fully featured languages like Ruby, and even some web development.

CorderDojo Minho takes place in the Saturday just before the conference, at the University of Minho, in Braga, and some of the staff from RubyConf PT is also actively involved. If you're thinking of enjoying some more days in Portugal and thought about bringing your kinds along, this might be worth considering.

If you're interested, all you have to do is register here (the form is in Portuguese, but you can reach out to us if you prefer).

Rails Girls aims to give tools and a community for women to understand technology and build their ideas. We do this by providing a great experience on building things and by making technology more approachable. Now it has arrived to Braga, just the day before RubyConf PT. The event will finish with the Welcome Drinks for RubyConf PT, which will be at the same location.

If you're around on the evening before the conference, you're most welcome to join us at GNRation for a chat and some drinks with us and the attendees and coaches from Rails Girls.

To close the first day of RubyConf in style, we're throwing a big Sunset Party. We'll be serving food & drinks with a stunning view, creating the perfect chance for everyone to chill out and mingle.

We're also preparing quite a few surprises for this, so keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. Spoiler alert: there will be music involved.

For the last day of RubyConf, we handpicked some of our favourite restaurants in town just for you. Enjoy the fine food and hospitality from northern Portugal, in the company of your fellow attendees. After that, we'll meet up for the Farewell Party!

We selected some of the best restaurants in Braga, covering all price ranges. Seats are limited, but we can always get some more depending on the interest.

Use this form to reserve your seat. Please keep in mind that this is an extra service, the dinner price is not included in your conference ticket. The form will be used only to ensure your seat is reserved. Payment will be handled at the restaurant (RubyConf staff members will be there to assist). All restaurants include a vegetarian option.

The options are:

• Bira dos Namorados

A tribute to the Minho region. 'Bira' suggests the traditional dance from Minho, the 'Vira', and 'Namorados' comes from the traditional handkerchiefs of the region, 'Lenços dos Namorados'. It presents three concepts which are connected in order to obtain an integrated offer in a single establishment: handmade hamburgers and steaks, a regional store and a Café Concert.

Price: 8.5€

Includes appetizers, main dish & drink

• Taberna do Migaitas

Appeared in 2004, beside Sé de Braga. Its goal is to invigorate one of the most emblematic parts of the city. It doesn't cease to amaze who decides to try a traditional dish.

Price: 15€

Includes appetizers, main dish (meat or fish options available), drink, dessert and coffee

• Copo 1/2

A multifaceted space which provides many experiences: restaurant, wine bar & tapas and cocktail & gin bar. All options have thought-out spots designed specifically for each concept. It presents a menu inspired in typical food from Minho. The tapas make a perfect match with a glass of wine which is the house trademark.

Price: 25€

Includes a complimentary glass of Port Wine, appetizers, main dish (meat or fish options available), drink, dessert and coffee

We want RubyConf Portugal to stick with you for many years to come, so we decided to get some drinks to mark the end of the conference, allowing for everyone to talk a bit more and get social.
