Amidst all the argument about "brogrammer" culture and the presence of women in Silicon Valley, here's a company that's actively working to change things, albeit on a small scale (for now) Hackbright Academy, which describes itself as "a 10 week training program designed to help women become awesome programmers."The academy just graduated its 16-person second class (that's a photo of graduation day to the left). Graduation comes shortly after career day, so it's probably too early to talk about how many of the recent graduates actually get jobs, but co-founder David J. Phillips (who also co-founded location startup Banjo) shared some earlier data. Eight out of 12 students in Hackbright's first class, were looking for immediate employment, he said, and all eight of them got offers, from companies like New Relic, Survey Monkey, Cisco, and Bump.
