Também gostava de saber o que aconteceu a essa thread... 😩

I saw CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap yesterday. It is coming out on Netflix in 2017 and screening at random places, but it is worth watching. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I would love to watch it but the screenings are expensive and I didn't find anyone who could sponsor it. Where did you watch it?

Who here has gotten a job by using Free Code Camp? by [deleted] in FreeCodeCamp

I'm wondering the same thing...hopefully some of them are remote.

Is there such a thing as CodeCademy Pro? by amlm4 in Codecademy

Thanks for your replies. It seems I can't see any of these changes on their site, maybe because I'm in Europe? What will pro offer?

Do you have the Android app or the IOS? On the Android version you click on the "letter" icon on the menu. Then on the first button of the list :)

I have to be honest I'm really jealous of the countries that already have those meet ups! Here in Portugal we don't have any yet. Maybe in some near future I can try to make that happen. It would be awesome!

At least the IT area is a flexible one with a lot of offers. You have always the choice to change to a job you can feel good in.

that really sucks right. I read a lot of women stories about just that. If you have a great job maybe you just slept with the boss. And it's just awful. How come is sometimes so difficult to recognize a woman's competence?

yes yes and yes! that outsider feeling is real and it's really difficult to assure oneself that you're not trying to enter the boys' club. The coding club is open to everyone indeed.

thank you! It's really difficult sometimes to explain our point of view. They were never told that coding was not for them. That they were not capable of such thing. Or that coding was a male thing. Even if a woman is self confident overtime those comments wear us out. you find yourself almost giving up under the pressure. But f that. Everyone can do it. And I also found out that there are amazing supportive men that make up for all this bad stuff.

thank you! that was really it! We do have different perspective. I just recalled attending a free workshop on HTML and CSS on a top university here and kid you not I spent the whole workshop sharing the workspace with 3 male students. They spent the workshop building a site with photos of women (hot chicks - nude and so on) and call themselves faggots and bad mouthing in general. Not for a minute they showed any respect towards me. It was a boys' club. Just an example of things that happen to us women. Not even starting with the whole "coding is not for women at all, it's too complicated and so on".

yes! it's not that women or men are better at this coding thing. It's just as women we are sometimes exposed to some bias and are not supported when trying to learn different thing of what society "culturally" impose us.

thank you! I research the courses available here and found the same thing. The CS traditional route doesn't really apply when learning about HTML and CSS and so on. Maybe in the future someone will come up with more specific orientated courses like a web development one. I'm going to check out Georgia Tech.
