It’s hard to step out of the stereotypes: professional computer handling is only now starting to abandon its geeky aura, but it still is very wrongly regarded as a mostly-male profession which poses some challenges for women out there with a passion for programming and developing, who unfortunately “are still poorly represented in the world of code”, as this site puts it. DevChix.
com is out and about to make a difference: a community of female developers/programmers with a flair for Perl, PHP, Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and C who join to discuss everything boy programmers discuss, and with the same technical depth (and incomprehensible language for those of us who blatantly ignore the world of code), only they strive to leave the gender bias and rude remarks out of the whole thing. These mighty and fun ladies discuss more earthly matters, including their less-than-perfect interactions with the male programming world, and regularly present fascinating (albeit lengthy) posts on some other feats of women in the tech/science and computer world from the past and present.
