End-User Programming and Gender

 Throughout my PhD and post-PhD work I focused on users who are trying to solve complex and semi-complex problems using computers. I am interested in both end-user programmers and professional programmers. I am also very interested in how gender interacts with the ways users solve problems using computers.

You can following more about gender and technology on my blog.

Some papers dealing with end-user programming (and not specifically about gender):

• Harnessing Curiosity to Increase Correctness in End-User Programming
• Impact of Interruption Style on End-User Debugging
• Supporting End-User Debugging: What Do Users Want to Know?

Papers about gender & end-user programming:

• Gender HCI Issues in Problem Solving Software
• Effectiveness of End-User Debugging Software Features: Are There Gender Issues?
• Tinkering and Gender in End-User Programmers' Debugging
• Testing vs. Code Inspection vs. ... What Else? Male and Female End Users' Debugging Strategies
