Gender in end-user software engineering

Abstract

In this paper, we describe research that reports gender differences in usage of software engineering tools by end-user programmers. We connect these findings with possible explanations based on theories from other disciplines, and then add to that our recent results that these differences go deeper than software engineering tool usage to software engineering strategies. We enumerate the strategies that work better for males and the ones that work better for females, and discuss implications and possible directions for follow-up.
