Andy Zhao (he/him)

Hey vhorayarif, I'm not Briana but I decided to get a job in programming without any experience in it. Short answer is that you don't need a degree to have a career in programming (or data, from what you're saying).

I've worked with computers and played video games for a long time and was familiar with tech, but not in a software-oriented way at all. I learned to program on my own for a bit before enrolling in a coding bootcamp, and eventually got a programming job. My take is that it takes a decent amount of luck, but you have to work hard in order to get to the point where luck can help you. Sounds like you're on the right track. :)

Here's a great article about it, from someone more experienced than me:

Hello everyone. My name is Deji. I'm new to programming(9 months). I started with php, but I've delved into the world of javascript. I'm currently taking an online course on javascript,but I would like a suggestion on how I can improve on javascript apart from the online course I'm currently taking.

I studied business administration in school, so it's been quite a transition for me. I practice everyday in the hope that I'll get a developer job within the next 5 months. That is the goal I set for myself.

I'm also a writer, I write sports articles when I'm not coding. It's good to be here.

Hello

I started following DEV on social media before I knew what it actually was. I'll probably mostly be a reader (as I am on social media), but this does look like a great and fun place to get into discussions and begin writing posts.

As for what I do, I currently work within the WordPress realm. The most recent things I've started learning include Vue and React (to see which I like better), and Laravel more recently. I do still have a ways to go in learning to work with SPA-type projects, but it's been fun so far.

I was also learning MeteorJS for a while, though I haven't yet found a specific need for it -- as fun as it is to work with.

Collapse
 
jsn1nj4 profile image
Elliot Derhay • Edited

I guess I should mention which I like better of the 2 front-end frameworks.

I'm leaning towards Vue currently, but I do see what makes React attractive to other devs -- specifically, being able to keep logic and markup together for a lot of different purposes.

Coming from the "no mixing HTML and JS" side of things, it's been a little a bit hard to adjust to mixing the 2 (even if JSX isn't really JS + HTML), but I'm at least more open to it now.

HI! I am a developer working in SAP at the moment dealing with UI5 in the front end, gateway/backend in ABAP and CDS. In my spare time I make abusive chatbots on Slack API and I'm trying to learn how to make them on twitter. I like to muck around with CSS and UX since aesthetics aren't overrated enough in my opinion. I mess around with drawings and animation as well! My current obsession is making an OCR webapp work to make company expenses reports easier. This will prove that I am actually valuable to my company and not just a frustrated artist who wants to code.

Hey! I'm new here. I obtained a degree in information technology in 2013 but then life happened and I wasn't able to get a job using my degree so I went into a medical billing job I don't hate my job but it's not true love either. I got out of the coding after my degree program because I didn't have time with my family and my job. I have more time now so I've enrolled with freecodecamp and I've also been taking courses with lynda.com. I I started my degree because my dad wanted me to take over his website. He put this website in 1995 and didn't update with the X he had thousands of pages and when he passed I let it all go. I've built some personal websites only one still stands everybody else has changed everything about the what I did. I want to learn more coding I want to get a job in a coding field. The saying goes, love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life, and that's what I want. So I am here to learn more then videos can teach me.

The Practical Developer has been an inspiration to me. In fact, I'm currently running a curated programming newsletter named Morning Cup of Coding which I believe a lot of developers here would like. I share programming articles that focus on learning something new and very technical on a daily basis.

Somehow I missed the transformation to dev.to, but now I'm here and looking forward to participate in it :)

if i had a topic for a blogpost, i only wrote it down locally. after seen dev.to i thought i give it a try.

mainly i am a devops but i also have some experience as photographer. developing using symfony (php) and operating using debian with kvm and puppet. i <3 to automate things. security and privacy are also things i am into.

Hello Devs, My name is Kofi: after 7 years of practical experience in Design and Programming, I am satisfied to call myself a Full-Stack Web Developer. I am familiar with:

  • HTML, CSS, JS (I was born with it :P)
  • PHP (7yrs)
  • Angular (Typescript) (3yrs)
  • C# (5yrs)
  • Python (1yr)

I have created PHP 7 & CSS/JS Frameworks for both Client and Server side programming (Check GitHub) at the same time, keeping my passion for Computer Graphics in check through Media Softwares like Photoshop, After Effects, Autodesk Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine ... just to mention a few.

I recieved a lot of comments and critics on my PHP Frameworks to conform with PSR as a result of reaching out to Devs like you. I am here to LEARN: teach me and criticize my work.

I believe if your code works, then its outdated: that is to say, there is always something new to learn.

Finally landed onto Python, where I primarily work now as an internal developer and db/sys admin... for the college that I went to, who hired me after I graduated.

Hi, dear community!

I'm Krishna from Codeasy...
Hope you’ll not consider this as spam, though it is a kind of self-promotion a bit :-)

My post is about introducing myself and asking your feedback.

Around one year ago my friends - a web developer and a game developer, decided to create a programming tutorial. and asked me to join))

What do they told me "We always wanted to help people who struggle with programming assignments and make it as clear as possible and as easy as it can be. To make it really fun and involving, we built it as an adventure story, where you travel in time and fight machines in future by... coding! The final goal of the story is to save the world and become a software developer!"

Sounds great?! Yap, I thought! That's how project codeasy.net was born.

We focused on C# programming language, but in the very beginning, it does not play that much of a role, as the course gives basics of programming.
The course is free for all including practical assignments and offers additional paid features.

Please, take a look at codeasy.net, tell us what you think, did you enjoy it or not and maybe even get to the top of our leaderboard!

Happy coding!

My prior experience is in report writing and Business intelligence, and application support (a vague term for analyzing software logfiles and troubleshooting). However, I've always wanted to work as a programmer/software engineer/coder doing things in webdev or django or java. I took Java and Python classes as well as NoSQL and traditional databases, and I want to do some work that combines those technologies, but I don't have the work experience to show for it.

I'd like to learn from others about:

  • How did you land a job as a coder? especially for those with a non-CS background.
  • what sort of skills do you highlight during an interview or on a resume?
  • How do you answer technical interview questions?

Md Nabil Ahsan

Hello! My name is Nabil and I am a computer science student at the University of Houston and currently working on a team project/startup in Houston.

I started off as a just a basic front-end developer, but I realized that the demo we are trying to build needs more than that. So I am learning back-end stuff like NodeJs and MySQL.

I am sort of lost and trying to find a mentor who can guide me in the right direction.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hey everyone! My name is Steve Belovarich and I am a full stack web engineer. I code the frontend with Angular and backend with NodeJS. I just started experimenting with WebAssembly.
