Many initiatives have focused on attracting girls and young women (K-12 or college) to computer science education. However, professional women who never learned to program have been largely ignored, despite the fact that such individuals may have many opportunities to benefit from enhanced skills and attitudes about computer programming. To provide a convenient learning space for this population, we created and evaluated the impacts of a nine-week web development workshop that was carefully designed to be both comfortable and engaging for this population. In this article, we report how the professionals’ attitudes and skills grew over the course of the workshop and how they now expect to integrate these skills and attitudes into their everyday lives.

许多举措都侧重于吸引女孩和年轻女性（K-12 或大学）接受计算机科学教育。然而，从未学过编程的职业女性在很大程度上被忽视了，尽管这些人可能有很多机会从增强的计算机编程技能和态度中受益。为了为这些人群提供一个方便的学习空间，我们创建并评估了为期 9 周的 Web 开发研讨会的影响，该研讨会经过精心设计，既舒适又吸引人群。在本文中，我们报告了专业人士的态度和技能在研讨会过程中是如何发展的，以及他们现在希望如何将这些技能和态度融入他们的日常生活中。
