Hi! Sam here — somewhat of a hybrid between teacher, programmer and small time entrepreneur.
After dabbling with code in my previous job, which was hardware based, I was bitten by the code monkey because I swiftly grew the desire to learn more. To quench the thirst, I combined a BSc in Computing at University with a web / graphic design startup: cutting my teeth with web technologies, ultimately build my first real app with Angular1 - theinterestgame.com/#!/landing.
Learning was fun but even more so, was helping my fellow students so I opted to combine the two disciplines and teach Computer Science — Next stop: London!
In the capital I trained to teach to 11 - 18 year olds to code — no easy feat but Kings College London is well known for it’s ability to train teachers and I was given the opportunity to learn from some of the leading researchers and teachers on the scene.
A gruelling but rewarding training year took place in mixed, all boys and all girls schools and, hey presto, a year later and my first ‘proper’ year teaching was in the ‘UK School of the Year’! Woo!
During this year, I taught selection statements, iteration, functions and data structures, as well as help the older students with projects ranging from: simple data input programs with Python + SQL to a tamagotchi style dog game with Unity!
Many students showed interest so I kept the keenos engaged with an after school code club. I enjoyed being the the students but still felt like there was something a little wrong — although the education system was (and still is) heading in the right direction, there is a definite void between what the students are asked to learn and the skills needed for a career!
Right now I’m doing less teaching and more networking and more React(ing).
Being (relatively) new to both programming and teaching, I’m hoping to write some beginners posts on what I’m learning: currently, the wonderful React 😊
Very much hoping to connect with the community to bridge the gap between education and communities like these, which in my humble opinion, should be intertwined.
Looking forward to both connecting and hearing your thoughts on what / how to teach tomorrow’s generation.
At your service,
Sam aka Mr.I
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 ;)
Hey dev.to community!
My name is Noah and currently I work as a Linux Engineer. Previously I was employed as a System Developer, working for a company based out of Houston, USA, although I've lived and worked in both the Scotland and the US.
I do development, some DevOps, and I am a massive *nix (Unix/Unix-like) buff. If you have any questions related to *nix (shell scripting, filesystem, permissions, philosophy, etc.), feel free to ask. :)
My current IT interests are Golang and operating system design. Likewise, I am a Free/Libre, Open Source Software, privacy, and security activist.
Outside of work and IT play, I am an avid outdoors fan. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, and climbing, but my main passion is exploring the countryside through cycling. You can also find me playing music (drums, percussion, tin whistle, some didgeridoo, and recently I've picked up the classical guitar).
Hopefully I run into you on Dev.to. Happy hacking.
Hello there, I'm Thomas 👋
I've followed dev.to twitter account for some time now but I've never taken the leap to sign up in here.
My co-worker @nickytonline is always telling me about this awesome community and I thought I could help and bring some positive things as well, especially now the codebase is open source.
Aside from coding, I like fishing. I find it very relaxing and helps me recharge away from the screen.
Have a wonderful day,
Thomas.
Noice. Cool that you finally joined. I think @ben and his crew may have a few issues in the recently open sourced dev.to repo if at some point you want to tackle one 😉
dev.to is now open source

Hi everybody, I'm JR, a javascript developer since 4 year now and i'm still loving it ! I've come here to stay up to date on new tech and talk with awesome people of course ;) I've done some PHP too on my early year of experience. My favorites hobbies are to hang up with friends and watch film and series (like a lot even is these are crappy film Oo)
Hi
Hey guys 👋 I’m the lead developer at a small mental health startup in London. I’ve been a dev for about 7 years but there’s always something new to learn and I really like the variety of articles on dev.to
This week I’ve been learning about Docker so I can Dockerize our integration tests 🙂
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.
