— Welcome to Coding4Chicks —

I am a programming chick with 10 years of experience in programming and the administration of computer systems. I have a masters in Software Engineering, a bachelors in Computer Science and have been teaching at University.

I dedicate this channel to my Chicas around the world that would also like to learn programming but don’t know where to start. This channel is in no way an indication that you will need special help in learning anything, sometimes we just feel like listening to a girl.

P.S. Boys, feel free to enjoy the site too! 😉

Remember: The sky is the limit. You can do anything you want!
