I'm Andrew, a junior developer hired straight out of a summer internship I took, with no prior experience in web development. <br> This was a wild ride, and I have so much more to say about it, but that's a story for another time.</p> <h3> Long story short: <del>I suck at webdev,</del> I'm new to webdev </h3> <p>My goal is to learn as quickly and as effectively as possible. I want to be a better dev, and I think this is a goal that all of us on #beginner share.</p> <p>But I think learning can be a bit of a lonely journey, and like most things, is better with friends.</p> <h3> So Let's be Friends! </h3> <p>That's why I'm trying to create a personal network for beginner devs. The goal here is to create a group of people that are genuinely interested in making friends and helping each other succeed. This isn't so much about getting advice, but rather: learning together, complaining together, and progressing together.</p> <p>SO, if you're interested in progressing alongside or advising another beginner developer, feel free to join <a href="https://gitter.im/andrews-network/general?utm_source=share-link&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=share-link">this</a> gitter channel I just made.</p> <p>Or, if you know of any other communities for people like me, feel free to share!</p> beginners webdev
