I thought the title was 'Learning how to attract women with web development', so the article wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but still a great (if short) read.

Could you elaborate further on what you did exactly to get the male attendants percentage to decrease and the effect you think it had?

I'm assuming that you expected the female name to draw attention to the fact that a woman was in charge, or something similar, but I will however note than on the second Tweet posted, there were more comments from Males than Females.

Makes me think: "Hey baby, why don't we go back to my place and I'll demonstrate my database schema"

lol. silly.

The only way we kept the initial male attendance down was to delay promoting the event through men.
