Thanks, Linda, for sharing your fascinating story. As my talk is about "Programming Languages and RailsGirls.tw", I'd like to start with a few stories of programming languages.
As we know, Rails is built on the Ruby language. I cannot cover all of them in a 20-minute talk, so let us start with Ada. In 1842, Ada wrote this program for the Analytical Engine, the first general-purpose computer ever designed but not constructed until a century later. Ada's mother was Annabella, a gifted scholar of mathematics. And indeed, the art of computer programming is a blend of mathematics and poetry.

This is an archive of the four main R mailing lists, R-announce, R-packages, R-help and R-devel, as well as the New Zealand and Australian list R-downunder.
The archive is automatically updated multiple times a day, so anything posted to the list should be in the archive within about 2 hours. You can tell the last time the archive was updated by checking the date on one of the index files, by following the links for the latest section of the R-help archive. Feel free to contact me if there are problems with the archive. Posters should be aware that the R lists are public discussion lists and anything you post will be archived and accessible via several websites for many years. Due to the volume of posts to the lists (particularly R-help), I regret that I am unable to assist with requests to remove or anonymise particular emails.
