Women and LabView

[Ben]

Adding to Paul....

Rear Admiral Grace Hooper inveted the idea of "programming language" and Cobol.

She was also involved with the team that coined the term "bug".

D@~n bugs!!!

there had to be a woman behind that one!!!

I learned more about women in engineering than I thought I could from that simple question... awesome.

Yeah, I was just asking because the lab I work in is severely lacking in the female department...  not to mention that since I'm usually in the laser lab all day with no windows or any other people I just get antzy, so I decided to start a thread... yay.

Being able to program in labview is such a turn on!  So... if anyone knows of, or is a, pretty lady that can program labview... 'Can I get your digits, honey?'

😉

j/k 🙂

I think someone is pulling someone's leg!

Nobody brought up the real aspect of LV, for me at least. My wife is a busy professional (not in computers), so to take care of kids I started a LV development company so I have the more flex schedule away from overbearing managers and schedules....

See.... the things one can solve with LV

I have a female Labview developer in my team and I dare say that she excels her male teammates in her programming skills and understanding Industrial hardware systems.

Also, my cousin sister learnt LabVIEW on her own ( within few days) did a project on image processing using LabVIEW 7.1( ofcourse, with some help from the 'evergreen Lena', ) )

So, where are the women? So far, it's been men talking about women they know.

And although I know this wasn't the thread's intention, something bugs me about the tone here: "yes, she is a woman, but she's a good programmer!". Of course, it's great to recognize other people's accomplishments. I'd rather get recognition based truly on whatever skills I have, and not because I'm good... for a woman.

p.s. IEC: maybe we should ask NI to start a separate dating forum 😛

The thread was intresting though caught my eye, 2 days late!

In the Institute iam working , iam the only one woman with LabVIEW ,learning all myself

Well said Sima,

A programmer is good..  period..  not a good male programmer of woman programmer.

Someone is either good at what they do or they are bad at it.  That rule applies to men & women.

The quality line is the same for both..  not special rules for the male camp and other rules for the women.

If a person is good at programming the person is good.  🙂
