Hello friends!
Looking forward to be part of this community! I'm kinda new in programming world, all I know is that one day i want to earn for living with my programming skills. Node.js is my focus for now and I'm loving it!
I'm from Croatia and English is not my native language. I want to improve my writing skills and i think this is good place for that! So when you see mistake in my text please tell me so i can fix it and learn from it! :D
Also if you have some advice regarding Node.js i would love to hear it!
Have a nice day you wonderful humans :)
Welcome! Definitely follow the node tag 🙂
Thank you, Ben! :)
Hello devs!
To be frank, I have to say that i haven't been programming seriously for quite a long time already.
Couple of years ago I was diving in scientific computing with fortran, matlab and CAE software. But that was something like 3 years ago.
Now I'm doing VBA time to time, bit of Python... But I'm trying to develop my skills and would like to get some fresh air and new infos. That's why I'm here!:)
Certainly the place for learning. Welcome!
Hi devs,
I'm happy to be here and hope to get some new ideas and refresh some old ideas. I'm a softwareengineer and I love rules. So it's not a surprise that I'm very interested in patterns and how they work and techniques to get around the nasty problems. Most of the time I write PHP. I love it for the possibility to get a result really fast without much programming overhead and I hate it for the same reason. PHP makes me understand the sentence "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!" :D
I also had the chance to work in a 3-year-Java project, which was really fun. In my education at the univerity of applied science in Aachen (Germany) I wrote Python, C# and C++ as well and as a Web-Developer I have some experience with javascript, css and HTML (yeah, I know it's not a programming language :P )
When I'm not at the computer I play guitar in a band or read books, papers, articles or whatever comes to my eyes.
What's your band?
The band's called "Pedicle Screw". The music is a heavy rock- / metal- kind of thing. But it's a relatively new Band. We're working currently on our 6th song :D and we had two Gigs so far. But there's more coming...
Hello Devs!
I'm sorta new(ish). About me? Well I'm a little weird, very tall, I make a lot of ridiculous things in both hardware and software. As for development I'm a software developer, working in Java and C# mainly. I also have interests in web development.
Enjoy your stay :D
Hello devs!
I have a love/hate relationship with ruby and an interest in go.
Current side project is containerizing all the things.
My non-dev activities lately is exploring my passion for making and art.
I know what you mean about Ruby. It's such a great language yet still can't do everything I want it to do. I just want to write everything in Ruby, but that's not really possible.
Hello devs!
Another web developer here, working in a small spanish company. I'm just learning Android development, and enjoying it a lot. As side projects, I maintain a friend's web and I'm starting with my future apps list.
I'm planning to post here something about starting side projects and building mobile apps, so if you're interested in reading that send me a message you I'll have more pressure and I'll have write it sooner :)
As non-dev interests, I have been reading a lot about minimalism, and trying to become more minimalist in my life in general. And starting to think about becoming vegetarian.. but important changes come better one at a time.
Keep writing so great dev posts!
I'm a vegan and can attest to the minimalist lifestyle it offers. It really limits my choices, and counter-intuitively makes me think more creatively about my food choices. That in turn makes me feel more free, interestingly enough.
Also looking forward to your Android dev posts. :)
Looking forward to your Android mobile development post!
Okay, I'll notify you when I'm done :)
Hey fellow devs!
I've been hanging out on The Practical Dev (dev.to? Ben, what are you calling this?!) more and more lately. These days I work as a web developer and hack on ASP.NET, C#, and JavaScript. I like working on front-end web stuff mostly. I've only been doing this for about three years, and I've already written my first blog on here. I hope to get more of my experiences as I grow as a developer on here.
These days, I'm getting ready for a second kid.
Yeah, we're going to figure out this naming convention soon enough... 😓
Welcome! Congrats on graduating.
I'm no expert at all, but I once had to choose between learning iOS and web development. I ended up with web development mostly by chance, but I think the lesson I've learned (so far) is that it doesn't matter too much. What really matters is that you learn programming by doing one of them.
Of course maybe take my advice with a grain of salt since I don't know any iOS development. Maybe @kimberlypilbeam can shed some light?
Hi! I'm a full-stack developer who recently started writing articles. I thought I'd cross-post them here so they can help more people. Last week I also launched my own JavaScript course, Step Up Your JS: a Comprehensive Guide to Intermediate JavaScript.
I use JavaScript daily and love writing about concepts that I know well. Good to meet everyone.
Hi everyone. I'm currently doing web development with Python/Django. In the past, I also did PHP (still love it). I'm also interested in web deployment, like Heroku and currently researching into deployment mechanism that we can use in house, like Flynn and Convox.
what's a non-dev thing you're doing lately?
I want to write novel or short story, but never got pass the first paragraph :D
Update:
Oh, I've also been working remotely in the past 7 years, so it also among the topic of my interest ;)
What's your novel going to be about?
I want to write on sci-fi and fantasy in Malay (my mother tongue) which I think still a niche. Not much good story I've found yet in this genre. So far what I have in mind is about life on mars, slap on with some politic to touch on issue with corruption, which a very sensitive issue locally and using mars as a background, allow me more freedom in tinkering with the issue.
👋🏽 everyone! I'm Parwinder from Chicago! Developer (everything web). Eagerly waiting for the day I convince myself to switch to Observables (from Promises).
When I'm not coding, I'm usually spending time with my 🐶 or binge watching something on Netflix!
Welcome!
@ben Thanks. Is there a thread to report bugs on the site?
This GitHub issues section is the best place for now github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/...
Welcome, devs!
To answer the question, I've been reading a lot of children's/young adult fiction lately, and it's really great. There's a lot of creative writing that is sometimes missed in books geared toward adults.
As for dev stuff, I've been learning about tests with RSpec and Capybara lately. Pretty annoying, but a necessary good... Also, I've taken an interest in React Native and Android dev. Might be doing more of that later on.
I'm at that stage too, Young Adult books are still my favorite.
They don't suck the fun out of reading, lol.
I also love some of the books my daughters picked up - If you have young readers in your life, or even just for kicks, I suggest "The Pigeon" books by Mo Willems, grade A. I have a weakness for sassy pigeons.
Sassy pigeons? Yes, definitely going to take a trip back to the library for that.
I just finished reading Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen. It's a really fun book in a he-said-she-said format, that just takes you back to middle school (in a good way, or at least as-good-as-middle-school-gets way). I read it with my partner and definitely recommend it as a book to read together.
I hear that!
It's easy to get burnt out with any technology- I was the opposite. Started learning web, found iOS and migrated towards that.
Personally, there's a lot of exciting things going on in mobile with Ar and Vr and Internet of Things, that it keeps it interesting! Mobile kind of has been encapsulating everything that doesn't fit everywhere else.
But any technology you learn will not be wasted. And agree that the principles and concepts are what's important starting out 😊😊
Hey devs & geeks,
Great to be the part of this awesome community.
I'm a web developer( I don't know that still as a student I can use this word among so many experienced devs ). I love to explore new technologies in the software world. I also have a good knowledge of Android App development. I like to learn programming languages, so far I have learned C, C++, Java, js, HTML/CSS, C#, Python( not an expert in all but confident in C++ and Python). I learn them so that there will be no barrier between me and any new technologies.
I'm also familiar web tools & technologies like Bootstrap, jQuery, Django and have plans to try React, Gatsby, flask etc.
I also have plans to learn AI/ML in coming months as I'm really fascinated by the innovations in this field.
Many seniors and developers have advised me to stick to single technology but I really I can't stop myself from learning them(that's why I'm also worried about my career).
But I have decided that web development will always be my priority and will also contribute to the community in same.
One would be asking me that how I managed to learn so many technologies, my answer is my time management and period( total is 10 hrs/day).
Any words of advice are welcomed.
Welcome! I think it's great to have a thirst for learning whatever you can. My experience has been that I learn what I want, until my job needs me to learn something (which isn't a bad thing at all, simply a matter of priority).
I am glad I have some deeper knowledge of a language and framework though. It's helped me think less about basic knowledge of the language/framework, and focus more on mastery.
It's been a year since I've posted this and lot has changed since then. I decided to shift my complete focus on web development and haven't touched the AI/ML till now as it's too much fun to learn web development itself and there is a lot of learning here. And concepts like WASM fascinates me a lot.
And thanks @andy for such a great advice, I've followed the same and applied it in my open-source journey and I'm happy to say that I'm currently doing a good open source internship(Google Summer of Code) with a wonderful open source organization, Zulip where I've learned many new technologies if it's required to complete any task/project.
Dev.to is a great community and I've learned a lot from here especially about how to improve workflow and best practices. Glad that I'm a part of such an awesome community and in future, I would definitely share my knowledge here.
Hi everyone, my name's Ben, and I enjoy doing database design and development (mostly Oracle SQL). I'm interested in learning more about Oracle databases, such as admin and performance.
A non-dev thing I'm doing lately? I've taken up karate and have been training for about 4 months!
Happy to be here!
Hello fellow devs,
Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand. I'm currently an Android dev in a small software house. I recently came across this site after flipping through Flipboard app and found a good read in this site. I have to say that I am surprised at the ongoing community in the site so decided to join.
I've been writing code for only about 3-4 years after graduating, mostly stuff about frontend (using JS frameworks) and now switching to Android (Kotlin yay!).
Going forward, I believe the future is machine learning. I have a rather ambitious plan to learn and become a full-stack dev one day, while at the same time getting caught up with studying AI in my freetime. My plan is to do a side project like a mobile app that involves some sort of machine-learning data processing backend. I hope I can share and contribute something to the site as I go on about the project. In the meantime, looking forward to more interesting reads from the site :)
Welcome!
Have you seen @keekomontoya 's Introduction to Neural Networks?
I haven't. Will definitely check it out! Thanks!
Welcome and good luck!
Hello all!
I am currently working as a Networking Support for a global company and I am interested and learning JS and NodeJS. I advance forward on baby steps but hoping to have the correct skill set in a reasonable time frame.
Good luck! Always exciting to hear someone switch over to being a dev. :)
Thanks! I hope I can become a good dev.
Hey hey, dev people!
Let's start with a question first. I drum player so that what I was been doing lately, which is a non-dev thing. Also, I've been cooking a lot of something new to me, which taught me something interesting and gave me a good meal :)
About myself, I am a game developer (working with mobile casual games at the moment). At work, I am working with Unity and C#, but I like to learn C++ and do some things with OpenGL. OpenGL and shader writing is my current focus and that what I am doing after work.
Additionally to this, I like to study algorithms and solve problems with it on different resources like Codeforces, SPOJ, Project Euler etc.
It is really pleasing to meet you all and join your community.
Great to have you 🎉
Hello Devs!
I'm happy to discover and join to Dev!
I'm full stack developer. I live in Turkey.
Welcome, fellow dev! :) How'd you discover us?
Thanks! I saw at Hacker News site. Someone shared an article :)
Hello, fellow devs!
I stumbled upon a post my friend wrote here just a few minutes ago, then I surfed around the site a bit and quickly decided to hop in :)
I am a front end web development enthusiast. I just love seeing the spaghetti I write comes out as beautiful interface and animations. Currently, I'm diving deep into Javascript, trying to comprehend how it works under the hood. For the next step, I'm going to learn more about TDD and functional programming.
As for the non-dev thing, I've been playing around with Blender 3D lately. Off the computer, I love riding motorbikes, strolling around town or touring to neighboring cities on weekends.
Hope I can learn and contribute lots of stuff here!
That's a hilarious way of putting how front end turns out. Also totally true in my case, too, since my CSS skills are not all that strong, yet somehow it turns out okay on a webpage.
I've been learning some testing and a bit of TDD, too, and boy is it a pain. My experience has been that it's like learning a whole another language again.
Hi guys,
I'm a frontend developer for some years now and recently learned some React powers. I live in Brazil and I'm looking for oportunities abroad. I love learning new stuff and frontend is full of that. Looking forward to be more engaged in the community. I also play Overwatch, Final Fantasy XIV and some other stuff in the free time.
Cheers!
Welcome, fellow gamer and dev!
Hey everyone,
I've been enjoying the content here for awhile and finally created an account to join in on the discussion.
I'm a US expat living and working in Ukraine. My work day includes C#/.NET and JavaScript, play is mostly JS(ES6+) though. I love working on UI and would love to improve my CSS, which is :poop:
When I'm not in front of a computer I'm with my beautiful wife and daughters.
Looking forward to eventually contributing, but I'm not sure how I want to do that yet.
Hello World~
I was flabbergasted to see so many active developers on this site. I cannot believe that I never heard of dev.to until today.
I am a .NET dev learning React and Node. My favorite language is C#.
Currently hacking on Slack API RTM (Real Time Messaging) to display Sentiment Graph.
Non-dev thing I am doing lately? Reading voraciously. For non-dev books, I usually read self-development and psychology books, such as “Think and Grow Rich”, “The Slight Edge”, “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, and “Psychology of Everyday Things”. (If you want to see my reading list, check out my GoodReads profile).
Cool Slack project! Definitely interested in seeing where you take it.
Also, welcome to the community. :)
Thank you, Andy. Much appreciate the welcome.
I will update the progress of the side project gradually ~
Hello all.
By day I'm a "full stack" developer in Belgium working mainly with .NET and AngularJs.
At night I like to read a lot and have multiple side projects mostly in JavaScript.
I try to blog about the problems and solutions I encounter during my side projects.
Hello devs!
I've been lurking for a while now and I've decided this a community I would love to learn more with! Looking forward to it!
My favorite language is PHP, It was the first I learned and I was the stereotypical Beginner PHP Dev (shitty code that mostly worked) until I was needed in a higher position at the company I work for. From there I worked insane hours and ignored almost every aspect of my life except development to be able to grow fast enough for the position. And here I am!
Welcome!
Hey everyone – I'm glad to have joined dev.to now that I have been reading along for a couple weeks.
I am a Javascript engineer (primarily front-end) with an interest in backend technologies and systems as well.
While I work primarily in JS, I dabble in several other languages for work and fun (Go, Java, Ruby).
Welcome, welcome!
Hello, devs!
I am still in the fledgeling stage of being a web dev. I have large gaps in my knowledge but I also have lots of enthusiasm for learning so hopefully they will be patched up soon. My eventual goal is to get a job as a junior web developer.
Meanwhile, I am having ridiculous amounts of fun with coding. Is this what a passion is? I think this is mine!
It's lovely to meet all of you!
Hello devs!
It's great to finally be part of the community.
I am a Front End dev from India. Having 8 years of dev exp, I have majorly worked on web UI and front end stuff. Starting my career as full-stack ASP.Net dev and later moving to out-to-out front end dev.
I have worked with various companies, ranging from big Indian firms to startups. Having graduate and post-grad degrees in CE, I can say I am master of all and jack of none. I keep trying my hands on different stuff.
Currently I am mostly working with all the front end stuff with AngularJS. To summarize the languages I am currently working, I work with JavaScript, NodeJS and usual UI stuff.
I also love to automate stuff and make life easier. I want to learn python or get suggestion on which language I should try my hands on for automation stuff.
Hoping nobody is GoT spoiler here. ;)
Hello guys !
I'm a French developper working in Paris. I'm currently working on JS technologies.
I have been working on the Back end for a while with Graphql / Rest API, auth servers, microservices and database managment, On the Front end side, I work with ReactJs mainly and Vuejs from time to time.
I have been working with the StorybookJS team to bring VueJs support to storybook, so I hope I'll be able to share some knowledge about it and my JS experience.
I really love travelling, coding and cooking and would love to find some way to combine thoses passions together :D
I'm learning Ocaml and Golang right now, I hope I'll find people to share and learn with :)
<3
Hi devs!
Started a long time ago as an electronics engineer and firmware dev, then started to do mobile development in the ye old days before iOS and Android (Windows CE...nightmares) and now I run a small sw development company.
Nowadays I don't have that much time to code, but still manage to do it. Currently, my favorite language is Scala. I also really enjoy the Akka framework, but I still have so much to learn about it.
Like everyone else I also have to wrestle html, js, css but don't really enjoy it. That's why I'm planning to start learning Scala.js :)
Hi Devs!!\
Winston here!!
New to coding .....trying my hand on python for now
Material Engineer by profession, bassist by passion, Christian 24/7 #TeamJesus
Hoping to dive into Quants for finance soooo GOPython!
Heya devs! I heard about this place on the StackOverflow podcast and was keen to join an accepting and open community where I could progress my knowledge of the craft I've only recently taken up as a career. I hope to learn lots, and give back to the community!
Hello devs!!
really excited to be among developers. all the way from Nigeria, i am currently developing my skills in web dev with javascript. i've done some embedded programming in C, and played with Java. on the side, i'm doing game dev with Unity and C#.
my next interest is machine learning. i play guitar too.
Hi, everyone! I’m a developer in Berlin, Germany. I’m primarily doing front end work but I’m getting interested in mobile development so I’ve been playing with React Native and doing some basic Swift tutorials.
I’ve been using dev.to for a while now but only reading. Time to get involved.
Have a nice day!
Hello Devs!
I have a web development company, lately my job has been more managing resources than coding, but with that in mindand I am aiming to improve our training methods, by including better testing, would love to learn more about it!
Hello devs!
My name is Andreas and I'm a developer by education and by heart, but ended up on the technical end of markting, being a product manager. The product is a physical one, that, you would guess, goes in the "Internet of Things" bin.
That area has a lot of asm and c, but I've really been into python and R for the past years, trying to get my head around Javascript, node.js and golang recently.
Andreas
Welcome Andreas! What's the product you manage, link?
Hello dev folks :)
Right now, I'm enjoying in the beach, you know it's summer and we have to relax a bit.
Well, I introduce myself, I'm a PHP developer since 5 years ago.
Recently, I started to think about creating some content about PHP and automation and performance tools.
Well, that's it!
Have a nice evening all of you.
Hello devs!
A Developer, with a spiking interest for user interfaces.
Working at a Media Company in Nigeria, chronicling Tech in Africa.
For fun sake, i do hybrid app development using ionic 2/3.
For Non-dev interest, i tend to play basketball and watch a lot of movies..
Em, i think that's it for now.
Hello,
I mostly do Python and Node, but learning Go now, and interested in Haskell. I started with PHP but haven't touched it in... I don't even know how long. Been a "Web Developer" for 10+ years, but for the past few years I've gotten to say "Software Engineer" instead, which is super cool.
I'm self-taught, like many. Currently have a sweet remote position with O'Reilly Media. Before that I worked on meh.com, and similar sites, for a company called Mediocre.
When not working I'm doing boring stuff like watching TV or playing games on my iPad or cleaning my house or booping my cats and dogs. I don't have any non-code personal projects.
I end up following links to this site a lot, so figured I should actually create an account. Good material here.
We are very supportive of cat booping in this community. 🐱
G'day all.
Web developer here, working on SaaS products mainly. > 10 experience.
Non-dev stuff to mention would be that I'm a musician (guitarist) of > 30 years. There's a strong correlation between learning music and CS IMO.
Enjoying this site. Keep up the good work!
Hello, devs!
We are a team of no-code developers and designers that have recently launched Zeroqode.com
Zeroqode is a platform for all things no-code (templates, courses, backends, web2native etc.). We are the #1 no-code app template publisher that created a number of beautiful and functional app templates. Among them are: AirBNB clone, Uber Clone, Trello Clone, Slack Clone, Booking & Appointment template, Product Hunt Clone, LinkedIn Clone and many others.
So now if you want to launch an app you can use your developer genius more on architecture and plan rather than writing thousands of line of code. You can still use it if you want to but in most cases, it's no longer an absolute requirement
Building apps without code is easier, faster and a lot more fun!
Have a nice day and happy building!
Hi, everyone!
Glad to be here. Awesome to see such a thriving community of devs.
I've been coding for about 3.5 years, but I recently got my first full time job (been in school learning nothing).
I've been through a couple of languages; started out with C++, learnt Java (Android). These days I write mostly PHP and JavaScript (Node.js). I also do some technical working.
I loove building APIs, bots (more of automation than AI), and tools for developers. I live and work in Lagos, Nigeria.
I recently discovered I was turning into a guy-who-spends-all-day-sitting-in-front-of-a-laptop, so I'm trying to get into exercise, plus some bodybuilding (no gym yet, just a home workout). And playing FIFA Mobile, too, though that's still a sitting down job. I'm still considering healthy non-dev stuff I can do. Maybe basketball? 🤔🤔
Bonjour ami(e)s developers !
I'm a dev from France, I'm also an entrepreneur and I just created a "Software Workshop" (kinda like a consulting company) called Ryfacto (ryfacto.fr).
I have 8 years of experience and I'm constantly learning new stuff and the articles here are very helpful in this sense !
I have a lot of experience in iOS development (Swift & Obj-C).
Currently I'm revising classic books in the field (Mythical Man Month, Clean Code, Refactoring, etc) as well as leveling up in React (JS + Native), .NET Core, automation on Azure.
I really care about my craft and am a TDDer & eXtreme Programmer.
Beside programming, I love playing Zelda & Mario and board games with my friends !
I wish everyone happy learning & fun with programming (and other stuff 😉).
Hello Everyone!
Looking forward to being a part of this community and being able to get feedback and become a more knowledgeable developer. I've coded off and on for a bit now, but over the past 6 months or so I have tried to put more of an effort into this craft.
I am currently trying to learn React and try and become efficient in that.
A non-dev thing that I've been truly committed to lately is getting back in the gym.
Joe
Hello, fellow developers.
Recently I have been working on my health and habits. Manly a healthy workout and diet regime. Also I started to train myself to do the seemingly difficult thing right away(ie. taking out the trash, washing the dishes immediately after a meal, and in programming - reducing my technical debt).
In the near future I aim to modernize and rework one of my very old projects and try to launch it. I will try and post about my process on my feed.
I will also try to write up some of the things I find interesting and useful.
Hi everyone, my name is Scott Shipp and I am a professional software engineer working in Seattle, WA, favoring Lean Software practices and a people-driven development approach. I've worked as a software engineer in non-profit, academic, ecommerce, and software companies for over ten years and have a Master of Software Engineering degree from Seattle University, the same degree Steve McConnell (author of Code Complete, etc.) has.
One non-dev thing I'm doing lately is collecting garage rock recordings from the '60s-today with a focus on "budget rock" / lo-fi sounds. Some examples include Link Wray, The Mummies, The Sonics, Supercharger, and The Drags.
Hi!
I'm Alonso, work in Chile as Development Leader on a SaaS Company.
I'm interested in development methodologies or just tips to better manage my development team.
We develop with PHP, JavaScript, HTML CSS among other tecnologies.
Non-dev things I do: cycling (17 km / day), photography, play guitar.
I'm father of two kids and one in the baking :)
Hi Everyone,
I'm a JS developer who converted from aerospace engineering. I've been coding for 3 years but only working on web software for 1.
I'm an obsessed climber and I hope that software development will allow me to work, travel and climb around the world. I'm currently living in China as part of an extended tour of Asia.
I'm starting to write posts about my journey as a new developer and tutorials about cool things that I learn along the way.
Long term goal is to work as a freelance/remote back end developer as that's where I believe I can find the most challenges.
Hello all!
My background is a zillion degrees in CS (BSc, MSc and PhD). But, really, that doesn't mean much of anything. Just that I spent a lot of years involved in education.
During my PhD I became super interested in EdTech, specifically aimed at the k12 market, and cofounded a (now defunct) startup called Alieo Games. Since that, I've worked for another edtech company (Squiggle Park) and am hoping to get back into doing some development on my own projects.
I've dabbled all over the place in languages - AG was done with Django and Postgres. For SP I've been more directly involved in product design and management, and less in code, but I've helped out with some unity and node.js work.
I prefer to prototype out ideas and am less enthused with making sure things are production ready. But, more just aiming to get things working enough for whatever they're to be used for.
I've been lurking around reading posts for a while, hopefully will start contributing more.
Hello everyone!
I'm a games programmer who currently works remotely for a mobile games company in Ireland. My day job is writing C# in the game engine Unity.
I also program in my spare time, and use my favourite language, C++, for almost all my projects. My current main project is making a small game engine from scratch using C++, OpenGL, SDL (for window creation and input), and a variety of other small libraries.
I'm really interested in learning more about C++, game programming, and graphics. I'm also quite interested in code architecture, and feel like it's something I can really improve on.
Oh and I'd like to learn another programming language soon, which will proooobably be Python?
Nice to meet you!
Hello developers!
I came across this site as a comment on reddit/r/cscareerquestions and after quickly browsing through it I decided I definitely need to join in on the fun. I'm currently working as a QA Automation Engineer in Chicago but am looking for new opportunities as a junior java developer.
I've been spending the last couple weeks practicing algorithms and learning a little bit of Spring to leverage my Java skills. I'm hoping to learn a little more so I can start working on a side project to throw on my resume.
Outside of development I actively produce House & Techno music as well as DJ on the weekends and am an avid history buff as well as a follower of stoicism.
I'm excited to be a part of the community and can't wait to soak up some knowledge :)
Hey everyone,
I'm a student here in NYC at a coding bootcamp called C4Q doing an intensive 10 month program in full-stack web development.
-Javascript
-HTML/CSS
-node
-frontend
-backend
Right now we're currently 2 months in (I'll update anyone who's interested) doing ES6. I'm not the strongest developer in my class but I'm always looking to learn and extremely curious.
Here to join a community of like-minded individuals who can help me out and be an additional resource on my programming journey.
Hi, im a developer who specializes in software test automation.
Lately I have been looking into also automating the automation because.. reasons.
Im probably going to be most active in areas of ML and graph theory. :D
Hello devs, I am really excited to be a part of this community! I'm in the third semester of a Computer Science course and programming is by far my favorite part of it.
I know a bit of Java and C++, but since the languages used in Machine Learning - the theme that I am invested in - is Python and R I am trying to learn those too.
To be honest, there is not a lot of non-dev things that I do.
Heyo! I do .NET things. I play games (PC and tabletop). In terms of a non-dev thing I am doing: Remodeling the basement; although that has been on-goign for a LOONG time. Probably should get that finished!
Will add this so folks won't think I'm a lurker.
Hi Guys.
I'm Bill Plunkett from Longview in Northeast Texas - known as behind the pine curtain.
I definitely qualify as a "gray-beard" not only because I have one but I got my B.S. in Computer Science (minor in math) in 1975. I worked as a Systems Analyst ( ya'll now call us Software Engineers), Programmer and mainframe Database Administrator. Did that for about 25 years.
Then got the bright idea to chase a life-long love of photography and became a "professional" landscape and wildlife photographer - had some success and it was personally very rewarding but just didn't put beans on the table. So I'm back in the software world. Trying to do some catch up on latest technology.
I am self-employed, love developing in Xojo (cross-platform language and IDE that has been described as syntax like Visual Basic and Class/Object structure like C#) and am nailing down Visual Studio skills along with C#.
I will develop apps or subcontract with any of you folks as long as I can tele-commute. I am allergic to NOT BEING SUFFOCATED BY PINE POLLEN.
Nice to meet all you guys, have already seen a post by a Xojo friend - Paul Lafebvre.
The non-developer thing I doing now - I'm Lodge Secretary for the Ashland Masonic Lodge #1138 in Diana Texas - I LOVE FREEMASONRY!
Hello! I've been joining in on the weekly Twitter chats a while now, but just joined the community. Hmm, non-dev thing I'm into lately. I've been reading Marie Kondo's book and slowly downsizing my possessions. It's difficult at times, but I think the pay off has the potential to be great.
Hey, besides spending weekdays doing Ruby and some Elixir, I spend my weekends building forts with my daughter and eating.
With a degree in philosophy and no formal training in CS, I am interested in arts, social and cultural aspects of technology.
Has been a long journey since my first program in a TI 99/4A, I will like to share, learn and get more involved in the community.
Hi there! I have 10 years of experience in software development, 3 years in backpacking, and uncountable years in causing trouble. Currently a professional trouble-maker for dev teams (aka Scrum Master and Agile Coach). I'm passionate about agile and for people building software products, I care deeply about my teams, encouraging them to find ways to improve their work and thus their lives--but I often can't find my own keys.
I have a blog about Agile, launched only a few months back. I’ll be posting about once a month. Would love to hear your comments and feedback. agilistandre.com
Excited to be part of this community.

Hello people.
I'm a frontend dev, also doing backend stuff. Doing web things since 20 years.
Based near Frankfurt am Main and working for an e-commerce agency in Frankfurt.
I'm a trained designer and self-taught coder.
I enjoy working with JavaScript, CSS and HTML but mostly, I work with PHP and frameworks like Magento and Typo3. In addition, I'm running around as a speaker on conferences and user-groups.
In my private time, I'm doing photography and blogging, besides this, some sports like climbing. The blog is about coffee, code (web dev stuff) and photography, what else ^
My long-term goal is to work in Germany! Do German tech companies have a need/desire for American web developers?
hmm, cannot speak for all companies but why not, just try it out.
Hi!
I am Yamen from Nigeria. I am learning to be a ninja at Nigeria's foremost Tech Institution Andela. Check us out!
I hope to learn a ton, and find a place where a newb can comfortable contribute.
Hi everybody,
I actually just graduated with my CS degree and I have been programming for 3 and a half years.
I have done a lot of database work professionally but for fun, I enjoy learning new languages (Rust and C++ are my latest endeavors). I know a variety of different languages and prefer to work on the backend.
For non-dev stuff, I like playing music, reading, or just hangout with friends.
Hope to read a lot and learn from everyone.
Hi devs !
I'm actually a student, I came back to school after leaving it at the age of 15.
My passion for code drive to be an application developer in Thalès, which is a very big French company.
I do like JavaScript and everything which come with (Angular, Ionic, Vue, React, Ember, etc…)
But I also do like Swift, Ruby (and Rails of course).
I come from web to go to applications.
I have a degree in Web Design and I'm passing a bachelor in application development.
When I'm AFK, I like to play drums and bass, do some cycling and just chill with my wife and my kids.
Thanks for your welcome !
Welcome, and a shoutout to a fellow Swiftie!
Hello devs!
It feels great to be here, I've been writing code for about 7 months now, mainly JavaScript. It's been thrilling every step of the way. I also dabbled in a bit of Python early on. I'm currently learning React now. I hope I can interact with like minds on this platform and learn a lot of helpful things in the process.
Welcome, dev!
Hey Everyone, I'm a software developer here in New York City, and I am looking to contribute to the open source community centered around the Ruby stack. I live in Brooklyn, and I love to ride my bike.
I am also interested in developing out a teaching community which would teach its skills to the people of New York City -- this is not an online school.
Message me if you are either interested in contributing to open source or teaching something tech or design related in New York City.
Helooooooo
Just been introduced to this by a friend who described it as, "Medium for devs". Loving being able to write posts in markdown, my second favourite language.
I'm a frontend developer, though nowadays I'm probably more just a Javascript developer. Though most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing
Hello devs!
I'm Omri, a data scientist from Israel living and working in Germany. My go-to language for almost everything is python, but I also use Javascript quite a lot. I'm now trying to learn AWS for data science (Kinesis Firehose, Athena, etc...) which is a rather confusing thing to try to learn.
I'm also a parent of a 2-year-old daughter, an avid boulderer (when time permits) and actually, I am originally a physicist that went astray into the fields of data science.
I'm looking forward to get to know this community - learn and contribute as I can :)
Hey everyone! I'm a Rails developer, but I've branching out into other frameworks and languages like Swift/Cocoa and Crystal/Lucky. Nothing too unique, but I'm always looking for great technology articles. 👋
Hello everyone! I'm a passionate, motivated student of web development at Eleven Fifty Academy. I'm about to graduate from their JavaScript Intensive in Fishers, Indiana. A non-dev thing I've been doing lately is reading "Harry Potter und der Feuerkelch" ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in German) and "The Feminine Mystique."
Hey everyone!
Hope you're all having a wonderful day.
Decided to make the leap and create my profile on here to help participate in the community.
Looking forward to helping out, contributing and getting to know you.
Cheerios!
Hi everyone,
currently I'm messing with Groovy and Grails, some good old Java and some frontend when needed.
Recently found out how cool Docker is.
Besides dev stuff I'm currently trying to raise a couple of kids, which pretty much doesn't leave time for anything else (kayaks, skies and climbing stuff are parked in my garage).
That's it I guess.

Even if I used this website for quite a while, just decided on joining the community officially with a proper account.
Hi Devs!
I am currently in an apprenticeship learning to code and am quite happy with the place I'm in as the people here teach me the best practices in a patient manner.
I want to live out my creativity in the digital realm and hope to some day be able to live off my own creations.
Also like to draw and play the piano. Nature is great as well. Dogs > Cats.
Have a nice day everyone! :)
