I have been an active member of the dev.to community for a while now, and I have to say, I absolutely love the articles developers share here. Even with nearly 7 years of experience under my belt, I find myself learning something new every time I visit the site.

Oh, and before I get carried away—Hi! I am Ravin 😁, a software engineer with a passion for crafting beautiful designs and websites. Lately, I have started writing on dev.to weekly, sharing my experiences while soaking up wisdom from this amazing community. The response so far has been fantastic, and for those of you just joining, you’re in the right place to grow your tech knowledge and connect with some truly inspiring minds.

Wonderful job career you have been carrying enclosed with your valuable experience you have achieved in the journey! I am absolute zero beginner enthusiastic to learn from very basic programming, with emphasis on python or the simpler easiest one. I need a guidance how to start and manage my time for learning. Respectfully, Raheem Mikhchi

[Ravin Rau]

Thank you very much @rahim_mikhchi_e67da60a33e, welcome to dev.to, congratulations for taking the leap into programming. Yes you can use python since it is a simpler language to checkup and for you to craft the programmer mindset. All the best on your journey.

[Ryo Kitano]

Hi, my name is Ryo Kitano. I'm from Japan. I'm a first year @ the university of waterloo studying mathematics and computer science. I'm still a complete beginner programmer. I'm currently learning full-stack development!

Fun fact: I've lived in 4 countries: Bangladesh, Azerbaijan, Japan, and Canada!

[Carlos Azurmendi]

Hey Ryo! 👋

I’m Carlos Azurmendi, and I’m on the journey to becoming an AI SaaS startup founder. I’ve got a real passion for AI, full stack development, and everything tech-related. It’s awesome to meet you! Your experiences living in four different countries sound incredible—what a unique perspective that must give you!

Welcome to the dev.to community! As someone who’s also diving into full stack development, I totally get how thrilling (and sometimes a bit daunting) the beginner stage can be. Studying math and computer science at Waterloo is such a solid foundation, and you’re definitely on the right track.

I really encourage you to stay engaged in the community—share your progress, ask questions, and don’t be shy about joining discussions. This place is super supportive, and it’s a great environment to learn, grow, and connect with others who are just as passionate as you are.

If you ever want to chat about coding, AI, or even the philosophical aspects of technology, just reach out! Keep pushing forward, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll create and contribute here! 🚀

Cheers,

Carlos

[Anton Zhuravlev]

Hi 👋
I am frontend (mostly) developer. I learnt JS and React through Udemy, and started working 3 years ago. I have no CS background, so I still don’t know a lot.
I wanted to start writing a “learning in public” blog in here. I also really want to connect with the community here and maybe even make friends.
Cheers!

[Victoria Adesanmi]

We both have learning in public in common. Welcome Anton!

[Sayed Ali Alkamel]

Hi Anton! Learning in public is such a cool way to grow and connect. It’s awesome that you’ve come so far without a CS background. Looking forward to your blogs and conversations here. Cheers!
