What Has Driven Women Out of Computer Science?
▁ nov 18 2008
The New York Times has an article on the decline of female computer science undergraduates. I found that a bit funny, since I spent the day at a course on plug-in development for a content management system, and out of a total of 8 participants, 3 were female. Not a bad percentage at all, compared to when I worked at Opera, where there were just a handful of women working in the Engineering department.
All in all, I find that the IT consulting companies in Norway seem to have plenty of women… It might just be a coincidence that I’ve met so many, though. I don’t doubt that the IT industry is still dominated by men.
You having seen plenty of women is called selective memory. ;)
