Hi everyone I'm prince by name
I'm trying to do my best to become
Good developer, at first it was very hard for me because I don't really get the code but now I'm getting it gradually, and I think i can do my best and I will really need each and everyone of you to educate me in this field as well thanks

[Chris Jarvis]

Welcome to DEV, Prince. It will take time to get it just keep studying and coding.

One thing I have learned by writing a lot of code is that it is VERY important to

• 1) Embrace errors. They often teach you way more than any examples. Read through the error messages and try to understand why the code failed.
• 2) Play with the code. Studies have showed that you learn at a factor 10 by playing than by cramming. It goes for almost all subjects Math, Chemistry, Physics, Baking, cooking and coding ;)
• 3) Read a lot (and I mean a lot) of code. By seeing how others create code, you often get inspired and might learn a trick or two :)
• 4) Sometimes just put in the example and make it work. Then try to understand it. Sometimes its easier to understand by actually running it and see what it does than trying to figure it out beforehand.
• 5) Learn how to systematically debug. All coders make errors along the way and if you meet one that says they do not. They are either a wizard from the other realms or a liar.
• 6) Get to know your debugger everyone needs it from time to time.
• 7) If your code fails. Try something simpler, then build from there.
• 8) Keep thing simple (one function -> one responsibility)
• 9) Keep things in a logical structure (Refactor things out of long functions if you can) I know some people that writes functions that are as long as a literary work. OMG they might work but try debugging such a monster.
• 10) Understand concepts and algorithms (When you get to write larger pieces of code O(2^n) and O(exp(n) actually gets painful).
• 11) Have a plan. It is very difficult to build a house if you don't have some kind of building plan. This goes at all levels. Learn about pre and post conditions. And most of all. Simply crack on. Everyone started at NOOB it is because they have gone through hours and hours of coding, failing, debugging, redefining the plan, reimplementing, failing, debugging again, reredefining the plan over and over that they got where they are :) Happy coding

Hello everyone, my name is Alef, I'm 25 years old and I'm Brazilian.
I am completing my degree in Computer Science and am currently an intern at an American multinational.
Looking for junior developer opportunities. If you want to talk or find out more, connect with me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alef-paula-aa98041ba/

[Anita Olsen]

Hello Alef! Welcome to the DEV community! Best wishes on your degree in Computer Science!

[Alef de Paula]

Thanks!

Hi Alef! Welcome to the DEV community! Hope you find a great job :)

[Martin Krause]

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the dev.to-community!

I'm Martin, and I worked as a Senior Front End Architect and Engineering Manager at one of the world's largest digital agencies, where I led Front End Teams for international projects. After 15 years, I quit my job. Now I travel the world as a professional scuba diver, work as a freelance Front End Tech Lead and technical Recruiter for international clients. Besides that, I write about technology.

My latest book about Modern Full Stack development will be published in the beginning of next year by No Stach Press. It's an easy, hands-on introduction to creating web applications with Next.js, MongoDB and Mongoose (there's currently a 25% Discount!). You can read more about how to become a published author in my upcoming article about writing books.

I am mentoring fellow developers on another platform as well as on dev.to. I am currently publishing the "LevelUp: Elevate your Career Today" series where I give Career and Interview advice based on my experience as Engineering Manager and Technical Recruiter. (It's bascially free mentoring, don't tell my paying mentees about that :D)

If I have enough time, I write more in-depth articles, for example how to create multi-language pages with next export, which is on GitHub:next-export-i18n and npmjs: next-export-i18n

I recommend following the general tags webdev, vscode , career and productivity and javascript, react, CSS. Head over to your Dashboard and adjust the tag weight to personalize your home feed.

Here's a list of articles to start your journey as a successful developer and a great writer:

• How to Write Your First Post on DEV by Chris Achard
• How to write a VERY HIGH quality post on DEV (13 top tips + a bonus 🤯!) by InHuOfficial
• Complete roadmap: How to get started with Frontend Development? by ShahiLalit ShahiLalit
• Introduction Guide to Next.js by Ibrahima Ndaw
• Roadmap for React JS 2022 by Digvijay Jadhav

If you are looking for your next job, I highly recommend buying the Book De-Coding the Technical Interview Process by Emma Bostian. It is hands down the best preparation for every technical interview.

[Michael Pollaci]

Hi all!
I am an entrepreneur who loves to help people solve problems. I am not a dev (unless you consider html5 and CSS dev work! 🤣). I am a branding and marketing guy who has partnered with a great dev and a great admin to form Flusso Software.

With Flusso Software the team wants to help people with software ideas stop wasting countless hours and thousands of dollars navigating the pitfalls of software development without ever knowing if their idea is even worth investing in. We want to guide them through and around the pitfalls, so they save time, save money, and bring their great software ideas to market.

We do it the way we do because we know when you guide people with empathy and integrity you have an opportunity to change their lives.

I am here to learn some insights about the industry so I can create authoritative content to share with the world and hopefully make the industry just a little bit better.

CHEERS!
Michael :-)
