Welcome folks. In addition to introducing yourself, feel free to ask questions about how to use dev.to or anything else. Happy to chat.
Welcome new devs! Excited to have you here 😊
hi everyone! I've been doing custom wordpress sites for about 6 years as a freelancer, started when I was in college and have continued since I graduated last year. recently I've stepped into a front end role for a C# application and am loving it so far
outside of dev world I'm all about music. I play in an emo band and go on tour a couple times a year (sleeping in a van, no WIFI, what???)
Awesome, congrats on your new role. Sounds like it's going to be balancing act between your job and the band. That's a great way to get away from the screen though.
thanks! yeah it can be a challenge but luckily my boss is super cool about it. his sons do music and the app I'm working on is music centered so it makes sense!
and yea, it's a great release especially after a day of hairy bugs
How was the transition from Wordpress to the C# app? Different expectations?
it was actually way easier than i thought it would be since i can actually edit the source HTML rather than use a template override, filter, or whatever. there is a C# guru doing all the hard C# stuff though, I'm mostly just changing the cshtml and moving things around
WHAT'S YOUR BAND CALLED? 😻
it's called citysick! we be on spotify n stuff. new music coming out end of august :)
Hello everyone, my name is GabrielLacerda, My main programing language is Javascript and I'm working very well with other languages like Python and Php, I'd like to learn the react way of doing things, at this moment this is something a little difficult me to understand this whole things, thank you guys :)
Welcome Gabriel! We've got some great articles on React via the React tag page, such as this one: Learning React? Start Small
Hello!
I'm a dev evangelist focusing on an open-source ETL project. Previous to that I was a dev evangelist & senior product manager in AI. I started as a front-end dev and have recently taken up Python. I'd love to find open-source projects to contribute to and get involved in.
Thanks!

Hi Ash! I really love Hood.ie - Gregor is a fantastic maintainer that will help you get started on a bug fix or a feature. Highly recommend checking them out (then blogging your experience here!)
Awesome! I've heard fo hood.ie. I'll check them out. Thanks!
Ohh, great info Juanita. I'm going to check them out also. I've been looking for a a friendly project to start contributing to.
Hey Ash, welcome to the community. How'd you get into evangelism? It always seems like folks have a fun ride getting there.
Howdy! Excellent question. I definitely agree there isn't a straight path really. I started out as a front end dev and then moved into product for apis for a few years actually. Kinda go back and forth but getting back into coding more. I really like working with devs and building stuff so found my niche! 😊
Hello! I'm Alex. Mostly I program in Ruby and a little JavaScript, and sometimes I do Clojure for fun. I just started experimenting with Elixir, which seems really interesting so far.
I've heard Elixir is great for messaging apps and integrating with a Rails app. What got you into Elixir?
Yeah that's exactly how I got interested in Elixir! I wanted to pick up another functional language that was also on the more practical side, and there's been a lot of talk about Elixir in the Ruby community over the past year. I'm halfway through the KV tutorial and it seems great so far. I've been trying to come up with a good project to make with it soon.
Awesome, I'd love to read a post about your future project! It's interesting how similar the language's syntax is to Ruby's. I wonder if the language will pick up and become one of the more popular server-side languages to use.
Hi, people. I'm Walisson but call me Shodocan. I'm assuming a new hat as QA on bawi.io, I'm very excited about that new job and I'm looking for new toys and techniques to become the best QA what I can be. I'm a Golang lover but I also like java and python.
Welcome from the other side of the Atlantic 🌊 :)
Hello! I'm Janno from Tallinn, Estonia. I've been coding for living since 2002... I've been working with certain Microsoft ERP platform but during last 8 years I've done iOS development and also web development. Swift, Ruby, JavaScript and a little Java and Python. RoR, Django and React. But development itself is not my sole interest ... I also want to learn to design UI/UX ... but first of all, I love to solve problems (which can be solved with coding/software).
It is all about solutions, isn't it? I'm also beginning to teach myself UI/UX to better support my team. I'm looking into a MOOC I can take to start learning a bit more formally though and plan to enter a hackathon soon as UX/UI to improve. How are you planning ot learn design?
Hi! I think I'm going to look at product design and interaction design in general before I dig into UX/UI world. Found myself a book called About Face.
amazon.com/About-Face-Essentials-I...
Haven't decided how or where to learn/study UX/UI design though :)
Hi everybody!
I use python for data science and ruby for web development.
Now, i'm studying about sentiment analysis system and trying development through python.
Also i practise martial arts in my free time!!
Thanks!!!
Hey Santi! I take mixed martial arts during every season except summer, a mix of Muay thai, Sinawali/Kali, and Wing Chung (with occasional Tai Chi and fencing workshops). Opinion mining fascinates me, anything particularly cool that you've learned about it recently?
Hello guys, I've worked with C# a lot, but since 3 years ago I moved to Javascript, node.js And mongoDB. Currently I'm learning IOS and Swift because I wanna create different stuff for mobile. Beside I'm a React/Redux Developer (I love React more than Angular but shhhh :D)
Also I'm looking for different project, to help a little bit on github, I'm not pretty smart but I'll be a great help. I think it's the best way to share, help and improve yours skills.
Currently I'm trying to achieve 100 days of code, but when you have a son and daughter is so difficult but not impossible.
Thank you guys!
Good luck with the 100 days of code! Feel free to drop a post here and there on the site about your progress.
