randal, when we met at that party after that web conference, i was
talking with 2 women about this. it makes some sense as web site
building in the whole is graphic and content and not all
technical. women have long been in the graphic arts, writing and editing
fields so it makes sense fo rthem to be comfortable in the web design
fields. and they will want to learn perl if they get into the web any
deeper. whereas CS types are usually more from an engineering/academic
background which is still mostly male.
the web in general (surfers and designers) seems more attractive to
women than programming and CS stuff.
