Finding My Inner Developer

Hi all! My name is Gennipher, I live in Louisiana and currently work as an Oracle DBA and Linux Systems Admin. Scripting comes with the job I suppose. I’d like to get back to some programming so I’ve been playing with PHP and Java mostly as of late. I get giddy when I think about Regular Expressions (I was introduced to them a few months back and we hit it off) so I’d like to learn more about them as well, but that’s something that I will be able to integrate with my day to day job fairly easily. I really want to learn Ruby and Python. When I found devChix, it just seemed like the right online community for me to be a part of and get my feet wet again and reconnect with my inner developer 
Glad to be a part of a wonderful community!

I agree, Regular Expresions are such a handy multi-tool. I really enjoyed Sam’s Publishing’s “Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes.” (To be more honest, there are 10 10-minute chapters, so it’s more like 100 minutes, but still.) Useful little book. ^_^

I recently discovered your blog while surfing the net and love it! In fact, I just listed it in a post ” 111 Women Bloggers – List Reads Like a Who’s Who!” on one of my blogs Virtual Woman’s Day (http://www.virtualwomansday.com).
Wishing you all the best and continued success.

Oh goodness!!!
This site is definitely not by me, I am just a new member to the DevChix Group. It’s a collaborative effort by many women. Desi McAdam dreamed it up, and was able to get it up and running with a few other wonderful women: “The original DevChix group includes the following individuals: Nola Stowe, Jennifer Stander, Liz Cortel, and Desi McAdam. The four of us have started to talk to other women developers everywhere we go and the group has begun to grow.”
Please remove my name from #17 as I do not own this site, I am merely one of many women who help contribute to it
. But I am glad you found us!
Thanks a bunch Heidi!!

Hey Gennipher — Great post and I highly encourage you to learn Ruby and Python (why not Rails why you are in the spirit?) I’m actually someone who heard about dexchix via the Ruby on Rails podcast and was very impressed with what I saw when I arrived. Keep it up!
