32. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring In the bigger picture…
33. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring Demand for software developers is expected to grow by 17% between 2014–2024. Kyle Thayer and Andrew J. Ko. (2017) Barriers Faced by Coding Bootcamp Students

35. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring In the 1984-1985 academic year, women accounted for nearly 37% of all computer science undergraduate students… and as of 2010-2011, women made up just 17.6% of computer science students. http://www.computerscience.org/resources/women-in-computer-science/
36. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring Furthermore, the percentage of women working in computer science-related professions has steadily declined since the 1990s, dropping from 35% to 25% in the last 15 years. http://www.computerscience.org/resources/women-in-computer-science/
37. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring The University of California at Berkeley experienced a revolution in their introductory computer science classes after changing how they marketed the course. What used to be known as Introduction to Symbolic Programming is now called The Beauty and the Joy of Computing.

What used to be known as Introduction to Symbolic Programming is now called The Beauty and the Joy of Computing. The result? For the first time in 2014, women in the class outnumbered men. http://www.computerscience.org/resources/women-in-computer-science/

Bootcamp certificates were not perceived as high of value as university degrees. Many jobs stated they only interviewed candidates with degrees.

Bootcamp certificates were not perceived as high of value as university degrees. Many jobs stated they only interviewed candidates with degrees. Contracting or freelance work was not seen as valuable as a full-time job.

106. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring Reject the “one true programmer” Embrace the mediocre programmer. (h/t Jacob Kaplan-Moss) More specificity at conferences, events, and courses when it comes to complexity of material. Mentor! Build more tutorials and guides aimed at niches.
107. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring Programming for engineers. Programming for artists. Programming for writers. Programming for people who want to build a startup.
108. PYTHON IRELAND 2017 T R AC Y O S B O R N @limedaring You can teach even if you feel like a “beginner”!
