This is a digression from my normal topics, but my husband sent me this awesome article and I know there's a bunch of women who follow this site simply because I'm a woman in a high-end raid guild (and, incidentally, I'm a computer programmer.)

Standing Out in the Crowd is about open-source programming -- but it's also about starting in on programming even if you never have.

Male or female, programming is easier than you think, and especially if you're spending a lot of hours playing WoW, why not shave off one or two of those each day and instead spend them learning Ruby and contributing to some of the projects the presenter mentioned or making your own website?
