Hello everyone, I'm Charlotte, I'm currently doing a 6-months bootcamp to become a web dev! I ended up here because I want to learn more and read more about tech news, languages such as PHP, JS, Ruby, etc. By the way, I'm looking for a traineeship in Amsterdam to start in December! My favourite non-coding hobby is probably music (not playing, more gigs and listening)! Cheers!
Hi Charlotte. I think there's a strong correlation between having an appreciation of music and being interested in code. My degrees were in music, and now I'm a developer. I used to think I'd had an unusual journey, but I keep meeting people who've come into the industry the same way!
These may be spam, but can't avoid replying on your comment, I was a musician for 15 years, leave it couple years ago to start software development, glad to hear that there are more people like me. People always seems to be shocked about my career change.
Cheers!
Fellow musician recently turned developer here!
Musicians make the best devs. I’ve seen it again and again.
Hey Charlotte, welcome to dev.to, I am also new joining the community :) I hope your dreams will come true in finding your internship in Amsterdam! I love listening music too, what is your favorite? Cheers and good luck learning!

Hacker news is a good site to explore and get amazing info!
So great to have you. Great first post.
Thanks for sharing your article! I like Dexter, Breaking Bad, Psycho Pass, Black Lagoon, and Atlanta myself.
Oh Monster is a great series! I love it! I want to see it again.

Hello Everyone, I am Nitin. I am a Software Engineer by qualification and right now running my own software company. I have good experience in the eCommerce area. I am looking forward to build up my knowledgebase and at the same time will try to contribute to the community.
My hobbies are - painting and cartooning.
Hey Nitin, I am really looking into the eCommerce space right now with one of my current businesses. I believe it will be the best addition to grow at this point. Welcome to dev.to
Hi everyone. I’m David. I’m a web developer based in Accra, Ghana (West Africa). These days I code mostly in javascript (node.js with express.js). I’m here for the great articles and discussions that always teach me a thing or five. Favorite non-coding hobby would be music. Rap music mostly but I’ll give anything a try.
Good to have you here David. Any companies in Ghana working with Node/Express?
Hi Jermain. Yeah a number of startups (like mine) are. Many that come out of the MEST incubator. Not many of the bigger companies though.
Hi Everyone, I'm Angelique, I finished bootcamp(full stack web development)about a year ago. Im having trouble with JS and hoping someone can recommend a link or any advise. I do have enough experience creating websites, worked with Github, heroku, Id, Xd, Sketch, HTML, CSS and backend - Ruby/Rails. Im also looking for an intership in New York. Looking forward to chatting with all of you.
Hi Angelique. Have you used freeCodeCamp? I found their challenges really useful in levelling up my JS skills.
I heard about it, but havnt tried. Will look at it now. Thanks!!!
If you would like to do a complete course on Javascript, Codecademy is a good place to begin with. They have a task-based learning system. They make you implement every concept you learn before moving on to next one. It really helps in understanding the concepts.
Hi, Angelique!
Wes Bos has a fantastic short piece on javascript with 30 little projects to show you how it works. It's called javascript30.
Yeah check out @wesbos ' JavaScript30.com. He also has a great free course thanks to Mozilla on CSS Grid. Check out cssgrid.io. If you enjoy listening to podcasts, Wes and Scott "El Toro Loco" Tolinski have a great one called Syntax. And lastly, he did an AMA on dev.to a while back that might interest you.
Hi. I'm Jordan. I'm the co-founder of Parabol, an open-source SaaS application for conducting on-line retrospectives and other meetings with your team. I was inspired to join this community by @andreasklinger 's tweet sharing dev.to went opensource. I enjoy writing software for multiplayer collaboration: I love building the tech that makes building Google-docs easier. I work a lot with GraphQL, extending it for pub/sub state distribution.
Fun fact about me: after starting an office-less, fully-distributed company I'm having a hard time imagining ever working in an office again. I value the flexibility and focus over the social atmosphere.
Fun second fact: the late musician Prince used to live with my parents, and my dad wrote a book about the experience
Agree about being office-less, once you leave that social environment it's difficult to want to go back.
Welcome!
Welcome!
I'm interested in your experience in starting a business without an office. I hope we'll have a chance to talk.
Feel free to share all this with us
Happy to speak! I'm likely to go out on paternity leave any day now (another exciting thing going on in my life) but feel free to write at jordan@parabol.co and we'll set up some time when I'm back.
You are an interesting guy. What exactly do you mean by office-less? My jobs have had varying amounts and degrees of office
You're too kind. Thank you.
We all work remotely. Currently there are 5 of us:
We work hard to make it work. Having the personal flexibility to work when we want, where we want is important to us. We work on 3 different teams, Growth (Marketing and Sales), Product (Design, Implementation, Support and Testing), ExCo (Finance, Legal, and Human Resources). One key is having a fixed cadence for all of our teams. We start each week with a Structured check-in meeting to discover if any of us are blocked on anything and setup ad-hoc meetings if we need to jam together. If something gets real harry, we might fly to visit one another. But that happens maybe 3X per year.
There are a growing number of these sorts of companies: Invision, Zapier, Hot Jar, and so many more.
👋Hi everyone, for the past couple of months I've been digging the articles and resources here; great work! I'm a growth marketer at Dropbox where I work with email and notifications to improve our activation process for new Dropbox Paper users. Where my email marketers at? :)
Non-coding hobby?
Hmm... I really enjoy bio-hacking nutrition. I'm always game to talk about it.
Cheers
Hey JZ, welcome to the DEV community!
I'd be really interested in learning more about emails for growth marketing, on-boarding, re-activation ("we miss you"), milestones, etc. Do you know of any resources that would be a good start for me to start reading?
Also... I'll bite (pun?). Care to expand a bit on your bio-hacking efforts?
Thanks for the welcome, Peter.
Some of my favorite and go-to resources are:
Hahah - nice pun. One of the bio-hacks I've come to implement and adjust is the incorporation of bulletproof coffee in the morning. I usually drink these on days when I'm intermittently fasting. Awesome recipe - 1 tbsp MCT oil, 1 tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee, 1 - 2 cups of coffee. Keeps me pretty full through dinner.
Just bought a copy of Hacking Growth on Amazon. Will check back in after I read it 👌🏽
I'm compelled by the idea of Bulletproof coffee (and keto) in general. I'll give it a look.
Just became 23, reading implementation of DDD. Looking for connections, friends, foes and rivals! Hit me up, I want to trade knowledge. #HappyBirthday
What tools/technologies do you like to use?
My development environment is a mix/match of VSCode w/ vim and docker(compose).
I learn/use whatever is expected of me, or when new tech comes out(right now a laravel/react stack).
I create a list of what i'd like to explore like "kotlin" and "reason".
What takes up most of my time now is reading about domain-driven design and microservices.
And I do like to read theory/patterns more than I like new libraries and other tech hype(because there's something new everyday).
Nice! I played around with Laravel and built a web app with it. It was kind of cool. I just went with Vue to keep things simple. I prefer React and I’m learning Node and Express and then I want to rebuild the app using that stack.
Laravel intergrates well with Vue as well, so no wonder!
At some point I will try to make something in Vue, but feel I like i don't have the time for it at the moment.
Also a part of the reason is I've yet to try frameworks such as GatsbyJS/Next.js which was developed with reactjs/nodejs in mind.
They focus more on server-rendered and isomorphic components in which I find interesting/confusing.
And I'm about to get in the mindset of Reasonml, the new language also built with React in mind.
Btw, if there's anything I can help with don't shy away from asking - I feel I learn the most by interacting with
peopleother coders.I built my portfolio site using Gatsby and the NetlifyCMS. It's pretty cool. Gatsby actually doesn't interact with a database. It just creates static files on the HTML build and those sit on the server, so I liked it a lot when I was starting with React. It essentially allowed me to build a React app with "dynamic" information but no back-end. If you want to check out out, I put the links to the site and the code below.
I liked the idea behind laravel, but I prefer Javascript to PHP so I want to get into Sailsjs or something like that. It just creates an MVC architecture for the Nodejs app. Sailsjs is built on top of Expressjs.
Hello Everyone, I'm Mahesh, I'm a Mechanical Engineer by education. I'm a budding developer(a complete noob :P) and I want to connect with the experts in the industry as well as my peers to learn from them to be a good Software Developer. My other hobbies are Reading(Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mythology), Watching Movies(Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mythology).Cheers!
Hi Mahesh! I'm a mechanical engineer too! Welcome to Dev.to :) Let me know if you have any questions or need anything. Hopefully you find some good articles -- and maybe even share your own!
Hello Ryan! Thrilled to know that you too are a Mechanical Engineer :) I have been following your articles and they are awesome! Oh yes! Now I know that you are a mechanical engineer, I won't hesitate to ask questions when in doubt or whenever I am stuck ;) Your articles are a great help for beginners.
That's awesome, I'm glad my articles were helpful. I'll try to come up with more! And definitely feel free. I'm always happy to try to help :)
Thanks a lot. As of now, I'm just a newbie, I know a tiny bit of basic python. I'm trying to learn automation using python as my entry point to the field. I will go through your articles, learn and try to start my own automation project. I will definitely ask for help when stuck.
It sounds like you might really enjoy Automate the Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart. It's free to read online!
Hi everyone,
My name's Rina, and I'm here to learn more about coding. My goal is to become a fullstack developer. I'm doing some pre-bootcamp programs now. I seem to have become addicted to JavaScript.
Hi Rina, welcome to dev.to. 👋
Thank you!
Hi! I'm Massimo, I'm from Belgium and I'm a almost brand new in the dev community.
I'm actually following a 6-months bootcamp in web dev. I like to learn new stuff and develop new skills.
Previously I was creative/art director in several advertising agencies. But after 8 years to work in advertising I wanted to do something else , so here I am...
During my free time I like coding (of course :-)) and I like to play music (electronic stuff), running, bicycling, ...
(Sometimes my english is shitty don't blame me it's not my mother tongue)
Cheers!!
What are you learning in your bootcamp? What bootcamp is it? Hey if you can speak another language your already a step ahead. Welcome!
Hi everyone! My name is Ru and I used to be a psychologist. Half a year ago I have decided to learn web development and now I'm here)) I live in Russia and I also hope to improve my English by reading posts here and writing some.
Now I'm learning JS, HTML/CSS and reading about jQuery :D
Wish me luck) I do really like it!)
Great!
So what is your goal for learning web development? Like what motivated you to move away from being a psychologist? Or, are you learning so you can do something for your psychologist works? :)
Hi!) I worked with children for two years as a psychologist and now my main goal is to figure out how exactly I can teach them programming languages using funny games. That why I'm learning now)))
To be honest, that is one of the greatest goals. I really appreciate how you want to shape the future of many people. :)
What has been your struggle so far with your goal?
Thanks!)
Well, the struggle is pretty hard for me =) It's unusual to start thinking differently
Now I have learned about html/css and learning JS. Writing easy functions and websites and I like it a lot!
If you want to learn better, maybe join FreeCodeCamp?
If you want to teach kids, maybe check how others are doing at tynker.com and similar sites.
Hope you have a great journey ahead.
Hey all! I recently graduated from a 7-month boot camp. I completed their front-end program. Very excited to be job hunting now!! I love JavaScript, React and Express.js. Now that I have time I hope to start reading again, and I might pick up The Culture series by Iain M. Banks.
Hello everyone, I am Sophie Obomighie, currently a third year student of human anatomy from the university of Benin, Nigeria.
I have practical experience with WordPress, HTML, CSS, Python and django but I'm mostly Python now. I intend to fully transition from medical sciences to programming or at least major in biomedical engineering because I've falling in love with programming.
I decided to join this community because of my resolution to be more intentional about my learning process, to have a reliable community to get help from and to improve on my technical writing skills. Aside programming and school, I volunteer for tech communities like Developer's students club (mobile.twitter.com/dscuniben), The GirlLEAD project (m.facebook.com/girlleadproject/), WAAW foundation
(waawfoundation.org) etc
I also try out Karate in my free time. I feel excited to be here.
Love, Sophie.
Hi Sophie! Great to have you! Glad you fell in love with programming. I can totally relate to that
Thank you for the warm welcome, Arik.
Hi everyone! My name is Ravern! I am currently studying Cybersecurity in Singapore after being hyped up by the government to join this course 😎.
My passion lies in web development, both in the frontend and the backend. I know Go, JavaScript, Swift and Python. I also love learning new languages, having recently picked up Ruby and Elixir.
Besides coding, I also love to play frisbee and guitar 🎸. Cheers!
Hello! My name is Jack. I'm an information systems specialist with a focus on Amazon Web Services, web development in PHP and Node.js, PostgreSQL, and DevOps.
I've been looking for a forum for free-flowing discussion related to software development and when I saw dev.to, I thought of trying it out.
My favorite non-coding hobbies (yes, it's difficult to just put one)? Photography, Traveling, and Writing.
Hey dev.to community...I am Shreyas, been in IT industry for 17 years. I have worked on several technologies and in several roles from developer to architect. Yet I feel I have so much to learn from others and community like dev.to helps in achieving that. While I am here to learn, I would be contributing whatever I can. Planning to write a note very soon. Watch out for same.
Hello, guys! I'm a beginner .NET developer, which I've discovered by chance and I really like it. Also, I'm on my second year of my Master's degree on Cyber Security. It's been a while since I've entered a community, but this one seems fun and the posts here are great, so here I am. As for hobbies, I enjoy several things like reading, sports or music festivals, but I'm still searching for something to put passion into. I'm writing this while having a glass of wine, so Cheers!
Welcome do the community.
Thanks!
Privet, dev mates!I'm Paul from cold Siberia (cuttently living in Kiev, Ukraine).
I'm working as full-time python backend developer since Jan, 2018. I'm kind od switcher: before full-time coding I worked as head of marketing. (BTW now I can hating all marketing things with PRO-level).
My Python path was started in 2015, when friend - Java EE developer recomends me try Python, when I was 'crying' on his shoulder about why I can't work properly with JS (my God, this semicolons(;) broke all my passion to coding).
So 3 years later I'm proud to be Python dev, who have minor experience in Erlang and Go. Now I have bootcamp as fullstack dev aaaand... They told me ES6 already have no semicolons (much of time). Damn))
So why I'm here? I want to come my passion to JavaScript back, because it stops all of my progress. I guess I have kind of "mental block" for JS. Hope you, guys, can help me there
Hi everybody. I am syed meesam ali. I'm professionally a civil engineer but was always interested in programming and started with Visual Basic to program a simple structural system (civil engineering related). I developed more interest in programming when i started using VBA in Excel to automate various tasks and found out that almost anything can be automated with programming. Used MATLAB sometime to also program basic stuff related to engineering. Recently I developed deeper interest for Python due to my interest in big data analysis as well as AI. I have taken many courses from edX and still continuing my learning primary from edx as well as some UDEMY courses. Currently devoting myself to learn in-depth JavaScript as a front-end developer as well as enhance my Python knowledge and looking forward for ways to bring my multiple interests into something composite.
Programming literacy I strongly believe is a super must for future learning in any field. I also am currently teaching VBA for Excel to some students and in future want to develop courses in programming to teach in the most simplest ways.
I am trying to maintain my own Excel advanced page on facebook at: facebook.com/exceladvanced/
I want to be more active in programming and really would love to be part of any active community where people encourage and help each other reaching higher levels of experience and understanding.
Hello! I'm Carlos, and I found out about this community through a youtube video from google chrome developers channel. I'm currently learning web development, and I'm super excited to become a part of this fantastic community. I have a background in audio engineering, and I love playing music as a hobby.
Oh, cool. I used to do a lot of audio engineering in my teen years. I don't do much now. I run sound for my church but they play over tracks
I am learning full stack web development. Trying to cram all of that code into my tiny little brain in 12 months. Wish me luck. I decided to learn web development because I realised I had a passion for it. It started with the idea of blogging and creating websites through wordpress. I wanted to make it more personal, but then when I started looking into what makes a website I wanted to create it. Three months into my course :)
It is very difficult to list all of my hobbies, there are too many and I have been saying for a while that I need to cut them down. There are too many excellent things to like and do.
I look forward to reading some more articles.
Hope to see you around here Zoe!
Hi, all! I'm Lucy from the USA, and after I got my BS/IT degree I started as a tester/documenter. I tracked test results in dBASE III, and then my boss brought me a new tool - Access, and it was Windows-based - ooh! I then went through VBA and VB and have been working in C#/WinForms and C#/MVC for a few years. I still love solving puzzles as a career, and getting to help make other people's jobs easier so they can go home on time.
When I'm not coding, I sing with a local women's chorus. Now I'm the music librarian, and have build a Windows application that tracks seasons, songs, singers, attendance, and who has what copies of which songs. I've also started an MVC app for the same data, so I can take attendance on my phone. Sooo... what is this "non-coding" you speak of? :)

Hi everyone,
just started to code 4 months ago.
The goal was to find a new professional path through something fun and interesting
Now it just feels right
I'm here to share and gather stuff about coding and technology, i feel this is the place for it :)
Later this year, i am going to start looking for an internship and then for a job.
I thought dev.to could also provide me with fresh pieces of news and information about those
It's nice to be here,
See you ;)
Hello! I'm waddlesplash. I'm paid to work on newspaper software by day, and I volunteer for Haiku by night. I'm not quite sure how much time I'll spend on dev.to, but, it looks pretty awesome so far! :)
Perhaps I should write up some of my adventures of working on Haiku here. Though it looks like tales of stack alignment woes and tail-call debugging are perhaps a little outside of what seems to be the regular fare here...
Hello!
A buddy sent me the Open Source announcement, congrats dev.to!
I am trying to learn some new languages, my dev background is web HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript and now I have tried: Bash, Rust, Python2/3 (PI), C++ (Arduino), Docker and converted fully to Linux. I do have interest in learning about WASM, especially with Rust (I found rust hard but very satisfying when Rustc compiles). Currently I am taking a stab at GraphQL and building a personal development environment via docker. I still have a desire to stay with JavaScript in some way as the ECMAScript changes have been really exciting and I enjoy watching the language and community grow. That's why I decided to try Rust, the community is so talented, helpful and humble; all while some very exciting things happening within the Rust ecosystem.
When I am not coding, I am playing guitar, gaming (DotA2 - I am not good at it though) or BBQ'ing.
Cheers,
Hello everyone, I'm Julz. I'm a Web Developer and Project Manager based in Cape Town. I came across ThePracticalDev on twitter a while back and love how the posts are often concise and well broken down - great for learning and refreshing on concepts!

Welcome!
I used to play chess too many years ago and I really loved it! Unfortunately now I've lost most of it, but I'm pondering about getting back to it some day.
Greetings Everyone!
My name is Ryan and I have started a new career on the path of web development after teaching chemistry for almost ten years. I am currently part of the Grow with Google Scholarship which is hosted by Udacity and I am about to finish the frontend development program soon and will be starting the Computer Science/Fullstack Web program with Lambda School at the end of this month. I am interested in aspects of all languages, however, my current focus is centered on JavaScript and its frameworks. I also have an affinity for aspects of deep learning and artificial intelligence topics as well. I found my way here from the trending repositories section on GitHub and immediately it caught my attention. As a person currently in a career change to this sector of work, I am honestly quite nervous and looking for advice and wisdom from members of the community - and I just can tell right from the start that this community is going to be the place for me to find such advice without worrying about how long I have been developing for or how I learned to develop. I look forward to meeting and learning from everyone!
Hi Ryan, Welcome to the community. We all strive to build the most welcoming, helpful community, so I hope/think you'll feel right at home here :).
Hi everyone, I'm Laurent from France.
I teach web development and am always looking for new opportunities to learn stuff so here i am.
I use mostly use JS (Vue.js & Node.js) and a little bit of PHP (Laravel).
I'm waiting for the open source transition, hoping I will have enough time to contribute.
When I don't teach or code, I take care of my kids. And read comic books if there's some free time left (which honestly doesn't happen often).
Heyo, I'm Patriks. I'm a programming student working part time as a machine learning engineer. Two years ago, in my first inernship, i discovered how litte i know and have been trying to connect up the dots ever since. I hope to hear some stories how people manage to make a a practical difference to the world and not go crazy/burned out.
I'm an avid backpacker and gamer. My favourite band is fugazi.
We all hit that point when we realize how much we have to learn! I think for me was around the time I started interviewing for my first internship.

Hi everyone, Abderrazzak from Morocco, I am an aspiring android and front end developer, I want to be the kind of code-guy that designers love to work with if I dont become a designer myself. Some interesting facts about me include: I speak four languages (Arabic, French, English and another one that you arent probably familiar with, called Berber or Amazigh language lmgtfy.com/?q=Berber+language ). Another fact is that I only had access to internet less than two years ago (Morocco still is a third country), but I am already sick of consuming, I would like to create and build something that can be valuable. I watch some Anime and I love kevin Hart. Would have liked to write more about myself .. but less is more ... I am always open to questions and also if you want to help me please fell free to do it.
Hello, I'm Chrissy, I'm a UX Engineer from Glasgow, Scotland. I've been in the industry for 6 years, starting as a web designer before becoming more focused on researching and experimenting with UX/UI.
In my spare time, I climb the mountains of Scotland, take photographs and mountain bike.
allo! I'm Kritner, I don't know what this site is, saw a link on the coding blocks podcast slack.
I'm a full stack dev, recently working on backend c# code mostly. Working with dotnet core, crypto testing, and looking to expand my knowledge and help others! I'm poking around docker (kritner.com is hosted via docker on my homelab), as well as seeing if Orleans is something I could utilize to distribute long running CPU bound code.
Recently became a dad (2 years ago already?!), and I started keto about 4 weeks ago w/ my wife, to help support her, and in hopes I'll see my abs again (i started working on my dad bod about a decade ago). I don't have time for much else at the moment, but do thoroughly enjoy learning new things, gaming, jogging, cooking, reading.
Yup.

Hey everyone!
I am slowly learning webdev in my free time and would love to transition into a developer role one day.
I used to blog about iPhone apps and games as well as Jailbreak tweaks. I also ran a Jailbreak news podcast for a while, which is sort of what got me into webdev.
After using WordPress for a while I began to crave more. A friend turned me on to jekyll and I’ve been playing around with it since.
Currently trying to focus on the basics and get a good foundation with semantic HTML5 and CSS3, then I plan on moving to SAAS/ SCSS then move on to JavaScript (which confuses the F out of me).
Hello everyone, I have been a full stack JS Dev since about 2012. Before that I was a contract game Dev working in unity3d, and C#. Now, I work as a tech lead for an ionic project, mostly managing other developers. I don't get to program as much as I like, but it's still great to be in the thick of things, and help out my devs when they need it.
I joined dev.to mostly because I have been enjoying the content everyone makes and wanted to be a part of the community.
For the non-coding hobby it used to be video games, but now it's helping my autistic son learn to talk.
Hello everyone, My name is Karan. I am from Nepal. I am 26. Currently, I am working on the Salesforce platform and before that I worked on big data for a year.
I am currently trying to be a full stack developer and develop some amazing projects.
I spend most of my time on my laptop and when I don't it means either I am sleeping or I am reading a book (though I watch Impractical Jokers and play Clash Royale on my mobile as well [only when I am bored]).
I also read and practice Mathematics and find Mathematics very very beautiful. I will be joining Masters soon.
I have a 9 to 6 job, so I spend most of my time in my office.
I found this website in hacker news and I am liking it a lot.
I am hoping to meet new people and learn new things.
Hey there I am Jens. In the dev business since 1995 (yes, you read that correct). I like inline skating, coding and listening to electronic music (mainly).
I am curios what I experience in this community.
Hi everyone, I'm Rully Ramanda, a software engineer, i know dev.to for quite some time, but just tried signed in right now. My favorite programming languages are python and javascript, although i like to explore the other languages as well. For non-coding hobbies i like gaming (i play DotA 2 too :-D), music, reading etc.
Hi Everyone!
I'm Shyam from Nepal and I'm super excited to join the Dev.to community. I think this is the first dev community I have ever joined. I used to read the posts from the fellow devs in dev.to and they all felt very positive and encouraging. I have found that the altogether vibe of the community is inclusive and I'm so glad to be a part of the team.
Hope I can contribute to the community in every possible way.
Have a great day/night wherever you are!

Hi All !
I'm Diego and I'm from Argentina. I've been developing for 6 years in PHP and JS with MySQL databases. I have three years of experience in AWS production services and I apply to the AWS Solutions Architect Associate this June.
What I see in my roadmap is putting a strong work in learning more about devops, already use Jenkins, Ansible but I wanna know more about Python scripting(just a beginner now), dockers, etc. For the other part I wanna start sharing thoughts with others in the fields and experience about the different situations that we afront every day in our jobs.
Also i'm starting as digital nomad too.
Happy to help every time that I can, I runned a free workshop in my city about AWS Architecture, with uptime as the objetice(balancers, scalability and more) and I'm thinking to do more around the globe.
Regards !
Hey all, I'm Zain. I'm an experienced developer primarily focused on front-end technologies for most of my career but never shy away from backend work. Especially a fan of JS for both ends.
I'm looking forward to learning new things and contributing as much as I can to the community. This seems like a great place and I've been having a blast since I joined.
Hey, I’m Amanda! Currently I’m re-teaching myself HTML & CSS. I took a class and learned the basics about 2 years ago but decided to restart with Codecademy, my notes, and the internet in order to build my website. I’m a Multimedia Artist but really like logo design and branding. Still trying to break into the industry though le sigh
Any tips and tricks for beginners will be greatly appreciated!
Oh, and my favorite non-coding hobby might be listening to podcasts (is that a hobby?)
Hi everyone, I am a front end developer for about 4 years now and I started learning React about a year ago. Recently I've been working on a project using React which I think is the best way to learn.
I know the react community is quite big and growing fast, and I think it's wonderful everyone can share their experience and knowledge in the name of a developing technology.
And my favourite non-coding hobby is ... I have a few actually - I like to travel and photograph and also I am very passionate about interior design, graphic design, UX, etc.

Hei!
I'm Peder, a full stack developer based in Wales (UK), but hailing from Norway, currently working full time at an exciting tech company here in Wales. I love helping people so I'm here to help where I can, and to possibly read some interesting articles and perhaps learn something new myself!
My favourite non-coding hobby is composing music (though this could be coding related too :D)
I found dev.to via GitHub.
Welcome aboard Peter. Great to have you!
I folks, I'm Chris. I'm a web engineer living in New York City working in the medical field. I've recently starting doing a deep dive into machine learning, and my strongest language is JavaScript. In my spare time I write and perform comedy.
Hey guys, great to be here.
I have been enjoying various articles from here for half a year anonymously and finally decided to join the community and give back.
I'm a full-stack developer at Philips and I love open source.
My main work is with
Javafor backend andAngularfor frontend but I love discovering new technologies.Oh, and my non-coding hobbies are guitar, drums, kite-surfing and D&D.
Cheers!
Funny thing I "learned" in college how to do Backend with Java and the Spring framework and later add Angular for the Frontend (even with some Android on it).
Now personally I enjoy much more the Frontend work and being doing stuff with JavaScript both Node and React. Funny how the stack changes hehe
