Yes, i know a female coder, shes a teacher at the college im currenly studying at, so if the oppertunity was a job, then i guess shes already has one :P
Well, there is one girl doing the PGDip in Games Dev with me here in LYIT.
Then again, I wouldn’t venture to judge her level as I am just meeting her, and my experience is that most students here are pretty clueless at programming even when they each a BSc. IMHO.
