According to a new study from HackerRank<\/a>, women are learning to code earlier in life than previous generations. They\u2019re also focusing on languages employers want. That\u2019s great news for employers that want to diversify their workforces further.<\/p> \n

Some 55.71 percent of women over the age of 24 learned to code in their late teens. Compare that to women under the age of 21, 69.77 percent of whom learned to code in their late teens. Among women over age 24, some 17.59 percent learned to code when they were under 15, compared to 29.88 percent of women 21 and younger. Clearly, mastering programming languages is beginning at progressively younger ages.<\/p> \n
