Abstract

Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact femalesý willingness to adopt software features in end usersý programming environments. Since these features have separately been shown to help end users problem solve, it is important to female end usersý productivity that we find ways to make these features more acceptable to females. In this paper, we draw from our ongoing work with users to help inform our design of theory-based methods for encouraging effective feature usage by both genders. This design effort is the first to begin addressing the gender differences in the ways that people go about problem solving in end-user programming situations.

End-User Programming has not lived up to expectations: today's computer world is dominated by "fatware" programs with hundreds of features, not simple applications built by the users themselves. Yet a strange convergence is taking place between the ...
