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.

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.

Elliot Derhay

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.

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.

Hello there,

I've been into programming since before high school and been doing it professionally for the last 8 years. Currently I'm mostly doing Unity 3D consultation.

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 :)

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.

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.

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! I've been reading DEV posts straight from Twitter for some time now. Only recently did I get to explore the site and I am hooked. I usually enjoy lurking and being anonymous but decided to sign up to join in on discussions. I appreciate the constructive and welcoming atmosphere of the community.

Paris Xavier Pinkney

Hello everyone!

My name is Paris. I am currently a Senior iOS Engineer from San Francisco, CA (originally Oakland), with plans on becoming a Technical Lead and/or Principal Architect. What excites me about these roles is similar to the characteristics of this community—constant learning, neverending kindness, pure altruism, and solving problems with (mostly) simple solutions.

I have been following via twitter for a while now and am pleasantly surprised by the good natured culture which I have found so far in this community. I work in both Phoenix Arizona and Kiev (Ukraine) I am currently using React and Sass for all the things in the presentation layer and going to back to Node for a server in my personal projects.

Hey there everyone, my name is Michael and it's my first time visiting the site since I discovered it on Twitter! It seems a very welcome place for a newbie, that loves coding but is slow to learn and gets confused(Im 52, I'm easliy confused, especially about where I've left my teeth!).

Anyhow I am looking forward to discovering what the coding world has in store for me.

Hello everybody! Just joined dev.to community and stumbled upon this thread. I'm a student currently working on a GTK+/Python desktop app for my undergraduate university project (matplotlib, pyserial, sqlalchemy). Hope soon I could write some stuff to share with the community :)

PS. Had a little fun decoding the binary stream on the top of this page, so here's my humble Python "solution". Any tweak is much appreciated!

input = '01110111 01100101 01101100 01100011 01101111 01101101 01100101 00100001'.split(' ')
print(''.join([chr(int(i, 2)) for i in input]))

welcome!

Hi all, I'm Akbar. Got to know about from my Twitter. I used to work in Android for 4 years. Now I'm into Unity 3D game development. I work on NodeJS and RoR in the spare time. I mentor two of my friends software companies to help them setup their infrastructure and helping them to be upto date with the present technologies.

I never cared about contributing to open source projects due to times issues and many other things. Looks like it created a void in myseld in terms of software development. Maybe I can find some help or I can get help if I'm gonna create something useful for the open source world.

Peace

Hello everyone! I've been lurking for too long and decided to make an account. I'm planning to write articles about procedures that took me too long to figure out, both as a way to ingrain the lesson in my head and also help others that might stumble upon the same issue. Cheers!

Hi there, I'm Pere. I work managing tasks (assign, review, schedule, and so on) in a support datacenter team. I'm planning to adquire some elemental skills as a developer since I'm considering a change in my career. So, from very, very scratch to what it takes, I'm an absolute beginner.
