An independent reference guide to careers and running your own business. It is not the website of the Ladies Code community or conference and has no connection with the former website on this domain; we do not run events. This is not legal or tax advice.

New publications

New publications

The guide's publication feed. Each entry exists because a piece was prepared for the guide itself. We do not reprint news, press releases, announcements of other people's events or success stories, and we do not publish rankings. If a piece is substantially updated, for example when tax rules or Labour Code provisions change, we add a new dated entry rather than quietly editing the old one. Each entry has a short description, a note on why the piece may be useful to you, and topic tags. The tags make it easy to see whether a publication concerns your own business, career, communities or work and family. The full list of materials by date and topic is in the guide's archive.

The feed is short because every entry is a real piece. We do not add news just to update more often.
