Hi there, My name is Alecs and I`m from Romania. Currently looking to change my career and started learning JavaScript. Looking forward to get better at coding and learning new stuff along the way. A friend of mine who is a full-stack dev told me about dev.to, which is a great community btw. Cheers

Welcome to dev.to Alecs.

There are many who have changed careers by starting with JavaScript without any programming background so I am sure you will do great~

If you don't mind, would you mind sharing what got you into changing career & start learning programming?

First and foremost, best wishes, Alecs!

bgirly, I believe this too. I also believe the day will come, in the not so distant future, where computers will program themselves by us conveying to them in a few sentences or words, the desired results we expect, leaving the people with the knowledge to program computers to program themselves, at the top of the food chain... until the future recurs.

I agree with you. Though I have not successfully jumped ship, but I am learning thoroughly to see that it's achieved before another new year resolution is made and yes, I started with JavaScript and it's not as much as a beast as they make us newbies think

Nice Alecsandru, keep it up. Keep learning. Start from the backend then move slowly and carefully to the frontends to understand the https flow. Most important stuff yet don't break your head so much. Then resources of everyday are: Google, StackOverflow, GitHub, This network I'd guess ๐Ÿ™‚, and YOUR creativity and ability to solve problems. Welcome to the future (present) ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŽ

Hi, Alecsandru, I have made this change of carreer in 2015. No regrets so far. I started programming with C#, but when I discovered Node.js, I could not let go JavaScript anymore. Good luck, man!
