No sweat! I was just kidding, too. I can be very sarcastic. I should have used a smiley or something so you would know that I didn't take offense. Don't worry about it.

I've never actually met a 'lady' programmer. "You get that which you tolerate"
So, no female programmers, or were they not ladies? Iain.

Just an idle question; how many women are there around here? CP is quite male-dominated - which reflects development in general, as I'd expect - but I presume there are some other female contributors? Just curious. :)
I'm not very active on the forums... I think this is my 2nd post ever. But I've been a fan of CodeProject since I first stumbled onto it a few years ago. I work with just one other woman at my current job; we have about 20 developers total. There were no other women at my last job; we had about 10 developers total. ~mj

Wouldnt it be great to find a good woman (willing to date a programer :() who also programs? LOL not to many woman are interested in programing when you try to explain it to them! You get the old 'Yea thats cool.....' :zzz: Pablo

I actually used to work with this couple, from 2 different programming departments mind you, the woman programmed in Cobol and had done it for many years, her husband worked in the VB department with me and had been programming for only about 7 years. I believe that they both had desk at home in the same room and at night they would go to their respective corners and surf or code. Must have been a match made in heaven. As far as explaining it, it is the same for me. My husband's eyes glaze over when I start talking shop. He could care less and definitely doesn't understand any of it.

I'm from Egypt. We work in web development (using C#) We have 2 developers over 5 (or 6, as our analyst sometimes writes code) in the office I work in. Still, I know better ratio of female developers in other (and even bigger companies). Our project manager is a female too BTW. Generally, female developers I see are although not so independant (I do NOT mean they get others to do their jobs, but, they're not ashamed to ask about something they don't know), they're typically AT LEAST moderate developers, quite productive and generally more calm than male developers I usually see! Also, working with them is usually more comforable than with male ones. They make you feel each one is doing his part. No competetion is there; which usually exists (even in a very limited range) when working with male ones! (Yes, competetion is good for knowledge, but you get tired of it when you compete on something that doesn't really deserve sometimes, and when it's your everyday routine. I thamk God it isn't:)) Mohamed Ahmed Meligy Solution Developer -- modified at 20:49 Friday 7th April, 2006

Basically, programming trend is less in womens. Is that due to the fact that womens think less :doh: well, I admire that in some areas they are really great, but the fact is that, there are really less women in programming field. I have been trying to search to employee, but honestly, couldnt get good match, basically found just fresh graduates who were not sure where to go. However, I have seen women working as technical writers in my friend's office, but honestly saying, most of the time they dont like to think :-O Need custom software?

The definition of "female" is stretched a little thin here... Some are, some aren't - females, I mean. Not trying to be mean-spirited, just stating facts as I know them... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001
Huh? I doubt you're mean-spirited, :~ just ignorant.

I hate to answer a question with a question, but, per-capita how many females compared to males even like this type of work enough to do it. In other words what is the percentage of females who are interested in technology-based careers, actually I personally would love to see many more. Much better to look at than guys! :-D DB_Cooper1950

My husband programs, but only in VB4 and ASP so far (he doesn't see the point of objects :). I know a lot more about modern networking, web and programming concepts than he does, but he's a lot more handy, so he gets to deal with the hardware side of things if need be. As to going to our respective corners to surf and code... well, it's not so lonely when you have a network ;)
