I don't think this is gender bias; I think it's a PR fail.

Well done. Unfortunately, I tried several different spellings of my last name to no avail. I sent an email to the powers that be but it should be several days before I hear back.

Kate is a nice tool, but that's not the point. Kate requires kde/qt vi does not. you can use it in a cli system either. if nothing works, works vi! that's what he means i know, older post, anyways – point 3:

Ignore the books until you have specific questions, and even then, try a forum first. I learned Java by pasting in a sample class into Eclipse and individually researching why I was getting syntax highlighted errors. Piece by piece, I built the structure in my brain--that's the only way to do it without a teacher that will make any real difference to you.

Do you have any suggestions for learning additional programming languages, other than the use of books? Programming books confuse me and I have found that I learn best being taught by someone who is experienced, usually in a one-on-one setting. Thank you!
