    Greetings !!! I am a new member of lounge but the difference is that i am a female. I am aware about code project for about 2 years, however i never tried to post something at lounge since i always feel that it is a male dominated corner of this portal. However i try today..... For my brief introduction, i am a VC++/Assembly software developer mostly engaged in softwares related to device drivers and palm devices. Hmmm.... its astonishing that how a girl can be a VC++ developer. In the company i work, there are 21 VC++ developers among which 16 are female . ;P If you want to know more about me see my profile here Saima Ali

      I'm out numbered by quite a bit. I'm one of the few guys where there are more women than male programmers. Ist not bad though, and it keeps the sick jokes to a minimum. Welcome all the same. CP's a good place to be, and lots of smart people to learn things from. Giles

                            not to be taken the wrong way or anything but ... is it such a big deal to be a woman programmer who can actually write good code? kinda just get on with the job ... making a fuss about it is like admitting its a strange thing and kinda makes the guys in the industry think like they do ... ie programming is really a guy thing just my 2cents worth and all coding is coding is coding --- "every year we invent better idiot proof systems and every year they invent better idiots ... and the linux zealots still aren't being sterilized"

                                This sounds like an intro to one of those corny Top 10 lists. Top ten differences between male and female programmers: 10. Female Programs go on the fritz one week out of the month. 9. Female programs are completed 90% faster because women stop to ask for directions. & etc. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

Usually when girls get together, we all talked about boys.. but since, I'm the only girl in the room, can't talk about it... it's awkward to talk about it... 2. There's a pressure...I have to show them that what they can do,.. I can do it too... or even better... because, I don't want them to think that girls are weaker than boys... 3. Salary differences maybe... although, I have no idea how much some of them are getting... Well, Anyways that doesn't bother me right now.. all I want is the experience and the knowledge I could get with the company and thru studying... and then, if I get all those things, then that's the time I should decide what to do next..... :-O :-O :rose: Samantha:rose:

                                        not to be taken the wrong way or anything but ... is it such a big deal to be a woman programmer who can actually write good code? kinda just get on with the job ... making a fuss about it is like admitting its a strange thing and kinda makes the guys in the industry think like they do ... ie programming is really a guy thing just my 2cents worth and all coding is coding is coding --- "every year we invent better idiot proof systems and every year they invent better idiots ... and the linux zealots still aren't being sterilized"

Perhaps some people do... but for me, Programming, Networking, Technician... etc. are not just a men's job... it's for all gender alike as long as you are capable of doing it and do the job well done... ;) :) :rose: Samantha:rose: :-O
