As a man I too am saddened by how I can't relate to women about what I do for a living.

A different kind of problem of course but I hope more women continue to take an interest in this line of work.

Technology differences aside the best way to get better is to do it. I've spent a good portion of my twenties working on personal projects that didn't result in any direct financial gains but they gave me a lot of experience dealing with problems I hadn't yet experienced in my work. Some of these projects include: A 3rd party authentication system with binary permissions handling, a TCP based multithreaded file upload server (with a custom protocol), a mobile application which can sync files with Amazon S3, Azure and Dropbox.
