Part of me is like, "Yeah, I got this!" but then I look at stuff like the projects that are listed in the Gnome Outreach Program for Women and I'm like "Um I don't even know what most of these projects are about." So I'm not really sure what it takes to get from here to there. I don't even know how I go about figuring out which of the types of programming work I'd enjoy. :-p
"i'd highly recommend GDI"
I'm actually signed up for their coding night later on Thursday! :-) I've never been before, but I'm excited about it.
Sorry for the late reply -- this thread seems to have gotten away from me while I was out of town.
