Hey Dev.to community! I'm a software developer that loves to learn and stay up-to-date. I've been a member for several years but almost never write, so I think this thread is great for presenting myself!
By the way, I've been working on developing a social network for building and sharing knowledge bases. If that's your jam, please visit firebits.io and let me know what do you think about it!
What an incredible project, congrats! It's a pleasure to have you here, participating in DEV Community. Also, join off-topic posts to have fun and meet other members
Thanks, @thaisavieira ! 😊
Hi All 👋. Special ed teacher here desperately seeking a way in to the tech industry asap.
So many new things to learn and not sure of the best first step to take. Would anyone be willing to share their origin story?
My hope is to gleam a bit of guidance from those who have successfully broken into tech from other professions without attending an expensive and time consuming college degree course or bootcamp.
Any thoughts on entry level positions to get me started? Or short courses that have proven to be useful?
All feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks friends.
And back in the fCC forums there was a mod who eventually put together a list of free resources:
github.com/P1xt/p1xt-guides/blob/m...
I haven't checked it out in some time, tbh. but recall it was good 'filler' when taking the fCC challenges.
Hey Darren,
Thanks so much for your feedback :) this may be a total newb question, but by fCC do you mean free code camp? or some other acronym?
I checked out Briana from the link you posted in your other reply, she seems to have a ton of useful videos so thank you I will continue to check that out!
I am currently enrolled in Coursera Front End Development course, halfway through and still do not feel like I know anything more about building websites. I'll keep at it because I am determined (maybe a little obsessed) but whats your story? How did you break into tech?
Yes fCC - free Code Camp
I used to hang out a ton.
My story is long and meandering. I graduated Mechanical Engineering in the great recession of '92. So I hooked up with a PHd drop out and we built college radio stations for a few half dozen+ years. Circa 2000 radio was moving to 'the web' and cable because it was cheaper, and I knew that industry was heading into oblivion (Although could have moved int telecom for cell towers)
Because we reverse engineered antenna, I got a job at a certification agency that did Radio Frequency Intereference testing. They combined that with PC testing. So I moved into Certifying PCs.
Somewhere along that path I got moved into a Continuous Improvement project to automate workflows and incorporate an ERP with a CRM and Content Management system, using PM methodologies. ALl Agile, Six Sigma, Process Mapping type stuff.
We had a few WebDevs to build us some quick prototype DB's before we integrated systems, And I started learning WebDev to find out what my team was actually doing. We were trained in BSAing, PMing, UI/UX, and Change Management because why not have your employees do 10 roles for the price of one, right?
In terms of coding, I had an Apple 2+ and coded in Basic and Machine Code so that I could build MUDs ( text RPGs) when I was in grade 7 or 8. In uni I coded in Fortran on punch cards to do Derivatives and Field effects. Coded in C when we were doing antenna design to see interference patterns. Never used code for anything more than figuring complex math. ( Can't remember any of that now, to be honest ).
Long pointless journey to be honest ;)
I recall when I started at fCC a woman who was a music teacher was posting videos sharing what she learned about the intro/basics.
I believe she ended up teaching for GitHub and moved on from there.
Here's some of her work:

Just moved from Hashnode to dev.to, after feeling like I need a fresh start and wrote my first article here just minutes ago. It's about contract testing. Check it out if you're interested in a quick intro as well as a practical code example.
What was Hashnode like to work with?
Just typical blogging platform. It supports custom domain so that is why I tried it at first. Not much traffic though.
Well I hope Dev works out better for you.
I think I have a blogger site on coding from forever ago but coldn't even recall the name of it now. No action there either tbh.
Hey there, dev.to community! 👋
I’m Michael. My journey has been quite the adventure, with a good mix of startup grit and corporate polish. Now I'm off to start my own venture, Nextvestment - to make investing simpler and easier for the man on the street. I'm building an investment research platform & copilot for individual investors and financial advisors, focusing on taking the fluff out of investing.
When I’m not knee-deep in code or AI models, I love brainstorming new tech ideas and exploring ways to innovate in the finance space. I’m excited to be part of the dev.to community, share my journey, and learn from all of you awesome folks.
Can’t wait to connect and collaborate!
Cheers,
Michael
