Hello everyone! I am Andrew.
Originally from Ohio, I now reside in California for the time being, after 3 years in North Carolina, and 2 years in Japan before that! I currently work as an avionics electronics technician in the military, but will be changing my job to intelligence here soon.

I have always been incredibly fascinated by tech and computers, but as I am in my mid-twenties, I have more of a drive than ever to attempt to learn about how these things we call computers work and how I can add to the advancement of this technology. I am FAR from being a novice in this pursuit, and still consider myself a baby-beginner, as I've never fully escaped tutorial h*ll and have never taken on any projects of my own.

Any advice helps and I hope you follow me along my journey!

Warm regards,
Andrew

Hello, Andrew! I'm Thaísa and I'm a beginner too. I hope you find amazing articles here on DEV Community.
What field do you like more? Particularly, I like backend development and I'm starting to know a little bit more about data. We're here to help each other.

Hey Thaisa!

I've always been drawn to backend development. I consistently catch myself asking "What goes on after I press this button?" It's funny how much we think we know about the internet, but there is just so much out there. I am learning about HTTP and servers currently and as simple as this stuff might seem on the surface (HTTP, DNS, IP, client/server relationships) it is not! At least to me lol.

Stay in touch!

Sup Andrew. I started learning in my mid 30's. Also studied electronics before that, and am now studying Python a the moment. Welcome and good luck. Im also new here.

Way out of tutorialhell is simply do small projects. I can warmly recomend AOC (Advent Of Code). Its a page full of small puzzles.

Take care!
