Hmmm, haven't made my first post on DEV yet. What if I started with how to create a Todo List API using dotnetcore/C#? Would that be lame?

For me, it's been philosophical learning.

Changing and improving the way you talk/write can have a considerable impact on how you're perceived. I've started taking writing more seriously lately, and the outcome has been quite good. My latest posts have gotten a lot more attention and love.

I might even make a post talking about my experience and some tips on how to improve your writing skills, although I'm by no means an expert on the subject.

They are not the same. But I believe that the most recent versions of vim and neovim can do the same things.

How to hook up redux form to the above application.
