Nice initiative to get more girls (and women) involved in web development.

"There aren’t enough women in software development so I hope this kind of thing spreads beyond Helsinki!"

I'm thinking that if you want to attract women, you should refer to them as "women", not "girls."

If you attract girls to the field then eventually you'll have women in the field. Just look at me: I was attracted to the field as a boy. Now, I am a man.

"Just look at me: I was attracted to the field as a boy. Now, I am a man."

But were you attracted to the field because it was presented as an activity for boys?

True...I must be getting old.
