I think that I have gained +a more nuanced understanding of IT/hacking/coding culture. Although, it's an intrinsically +geeky group, they're pretty friendly and supportive of outsiders. Surpisingly, I even saw python +as more than a few irritating algebra equations. + +I encountered other students, independent professionals, interested parties with little +to no programming experience, experts, one person with a very nice convertible(where does he work!) +and several experienced and helpful programmers/developers. At the Tripython meeting there was probably +a 70/30 split of men to women, but the ages were quite varied(a high school student was even present). +There were people with backgrounds in math, computer science, english, information science, linguistics etc. + +My experience with programming has been very minimal in the past, but my impression of the field is that +it's relatively simple to become initiated with the various languages, due to the prevalance of workshops, +meetups and courses offered both independently and academically. + +In the future I anticipate incorporating python into my graphic design/web design interests. +Will I attend a meet-up in the future? Possibly, they can be cost prohibitice for students being that +many courses and groups that provide instruction are understandably pricy. I want to take web design courses +and choose another language to gain an intermediate level of functionality in. I will now have to decide which +language suits my professional goals. + +I felt out of my element at times, but attending meetups is no longer daunting for me. I did not feel alienated due +to being a student, my age or my race at all. I met plenty of coders of color, a few veterans, a lesbian lady, a gamer, +a hilarious child of one of the organizers and even saw a few fellow INLS 560 people. After one meet-up I actually received messages thanking me for attending +and a few people were sent messages indicating that they were interested in networking with me. It was wonderful to see how inviting and non-competitive most +people were to inexperienced recent converts. + +Live long and hack on + +SR Moore
