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.

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#.
"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning." — Rick Cook
I invite you to check out how to put the Universe in defense and stop its winning stride - starting to think and act the oOo way ... May the power of oOo be with you!

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?
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.
I'm sure you'll build great projects with Frontend Mentor too! Have a great journey!
Hello Tiani! Welcome on dev!
Thank you very much, Antonio! It’s a pleasure to be part of this wonderful community!!
Hey everyone, I am surya. Still in my teenage era :) I’m a budding web developer who skilled in html, css, tailwind, bootstrap, and javaScript . I’m here to improve my frontend skills as well as my programming skills.
Hello, Surya! Be welcome to our community! Do you know Frontend Mentor? It's a website with real-life projects for all levels to practice.
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
Yeah sure.

Hello everyone! I'm 24 year old, Currently an SDE Intern in node.js, and my doubts end up here. I'm also learning DevOps principles for better professional skills. I like to play guitar when I am not Coding. I hope here to learn more, while contributing whatever I am able to.
Hello Adarsh,

.Playing guitar sounds like a fantastic way to unwind from coding!
Good luck on your learning journey.🍀
Hope your journey here will be fruitful. 😊🚀

Hi guys, my name is Luis Felipe Castellon Edwards, I am a really passionate software developer I like to learn a lot about several stuff, mainly technology and soft skills! My main stack is .NET and React.js, so if you have any question about these ones, feel free to reach me out 🙌

Hey everyone, I'm Kartik and I'm diving headfirst into the world of DevOps! After facing some setbacks, I'm fired up and ready to take control of my career.
For those of you experienced DevOps engineers out there, I'd be incredibly grateful for any guidance on the best resources to learn the ropes. Whether it's online courses, tutorials, or even must-read books, any recommendations would be a massive help.
But learning isn't everything, I'm also eager to get my hands dirty with some practical experience. Project ideas – big or small – are most welcome! Contributing to real-world projects, even in a small way, would be an amazing way to solidify my understanding.
I know there's a lot to learn, but I'm determined and ready to collaborate with this fantastic community.
Thanks,
Kartik
