Women in programming

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 08:00:45 +0000

IT is still considered a place for men, and for some reason, there isn’t a lot of women who consider entering this sector. Maybe because they have some concerns about participating in this men dominated world.

Another thing that doesn’t encourage women to join the tech world as a tech employee is that software engineering is shown in the world like something complicated. It seems like something almost impossible to learn and rather boring. Some of us are afraid we won’t be good enough to get our first position even if we learn how to code. Also, we often can’t really imagine that tech work can be fun, amazing, and challenging, and that’s why it doesn’t even seem exciting for many of us.

Which programming language should I learn for remote job?

Fri, 08 Nov 2019 14:36:56 +0000

I recently noticed, remote working is a very interesting subject for many people. This makes me think, most of us would like to get a job, with the possibility of working from home, and have an option, to choose if you prefer to go to the office and meet people, or if you prefer to stay at home to work from your own desk.
