Hi my name is John. At 47 years old, I am embarking on an exciting new chapter in my tech journey by diving into the world of Laravel, a powerful PHP framework. With a lifelong passion for computers and technology, I've always been a self-proclaimed computer geek, exploring various facets of the digital world. From building custom PCs to troubleshooting hardware and network issues, my love for technology has been a constant companion throughout my life.

Now, as I take my first steps into coding with Laravel, I am thrilled to channel my extensive tech experience into crafting robust, dynamic web applications. This new venture signifies not just a career shift but a continuation of my lifelong learning and passion for innovation. With the support of this community and my unwavering determination, I am eager to contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of web development.

Geetings John

Hey John, you give me the courage to be part of dev.to as well. I'm 58 and getting back into programming again professionally after a 9-year break!

I've enjoyed the content on this site as a hobbyist programmer during the last few years - especially the Functional Programming (FP) articles. As I'm back working with C# I'm looking at contributing something here about my FP journey back into C#.

Hello Thaisa vieira! I don't know the front end mentor website. I'll look upon it and thanks for letting me know :).

Also check the learning paths from Frontend Mentor, it's something like a guide for topics like responsivity. It's helping me a lot with my studies

Hey folks, I’m Tiani but most call me T as it’s easier. I have always been attracted to the cyber world and its functionality. I’m a self taught (and always learning) frontend person (I don’t quite feel comfortable calling myself a developer as I’ve been off and on learning as time permits it, primarily through FCC and W3Schools.) I’m 33 years old and a married momma of 5 who is a PT building lead for a commercial cleaning company. I’ve been wanting to break into tech for a long time, even in a PT position, primarily to gain more and build my skills. I enjoy making things look “pretty” and functionally sound.
Not sure what else to say, so I guess if anything if anyone has questions feel free to ask, I’m an open book. ☺️☺️

Hello, Tiani! Be welcome to our community! I feel so happy that in every Welcome Thread, more and more women are joining us. Talking about frontend, do you know websites like CodePen and Frontend Mentor?

Tiani Pierce •

Thank you for such the kind welcome, Thaísa!! I know about Codepen, it’s where I have to build the projects from FCC and submit them to get certified by them ☺️☺️ and through one of the posts here I just learned of Frontend Mentor! Definitely something that I’m going to be looking in to soon, as well as a number of the other extensions that were inside the one post. I plan on grabbing a few and adding them to my browser 🙂🙂
It took me a while (and apparently getting with the right guy 😅😅) to admit my love for doing frontend development.

Hello, wonderful people! I am Sourish from Kolkata, India. At 27, I have been a software engineer at a SaaS startup for almost two years, working with VueJs, MongoDb, and NestJs. When I am not typing, I draw portraits and do weighted pullups (I want to be Batman when I grow up!). I am looking to learn Python. Let me know if you're interested. We can achieve this together. This community has always been one of my favourite platforms to learn new stuff, and I hope to contribute someday! Have a great day, and thanks for introducing your awesome selves.

Hey all!

My name is Robert Grootjen and I'm driven to be a Google Cloud expert! I just got certified for the Google Cloud Engineer certification and probably going for the Architect one in the next few months.

I'm really motivated on showing others and learn (Like learning in public), I still have a long way to go, but being part of this community I think I will find likeminded people to stay motivated.

Anyways, if you want to meet up talk about tech, projects, philosophy or just meet!

I'm here!
