Hello, my name is Luis. I'm from Colombia. I'm an electronic engineer but I love to code. I'm not a pro in this, but I try my best to learn every day. I'm learning Angular 6 right now. My favorite non-coding hobby is perhaps to travel. That's it, thanks a lot.

[Benjamin Calderon]

Saludos Luis!
I'm a developer but I'm in love with embedded dev, embedded Linux, microcontrollers and such (ST32 HAL is beautiful in my opinion!)

Anyways, welcome!

[Stephen Chiang]

here's one way:

const myFunc = (number) => 
  number === 1 ? 0 : number === 0 ? 1 : null;

myFunc(1)
// 0

myFunc(0)
// 1

myFunc(2)
// null

Hola yo soy NiluX o Linux

[zarulyakuza]

:) nice

[henrygmoshugi]

Oh yes embedded is most in use this days and grow like multiply as everyone now know streaming even small companies and organisations going for streaming

[Fareedah Amzah]

Hello Luis. Good to have you here

[Joredjs]

Good!! I´m from Colombia too !!

[Manoj Kumar]

Hi Sir, Can You answer this question??
Write a vanilla javascript program that returns 0 when input is 1 and 1 when input is 0. Do not use if, for, while, switch, do statements. Write as many implementation as you can think of (minimum 4 ways).

[luisandrestobon]

Hello. Well, I think this is it:

f1 = (input) => { return (1+input)%2 };

f1(0); // 1
f1(1); // 0

f2 = (input) => { return (1-input)%2 };

f2(0); // 1
f2(1); // 0

f3 = (input) => { return ~input&1 };

f3(0); // 1
f3(1); // 0

f4 = (input) => { return +!input };

f4(0); // 1
f4(1); // 0

I'm waiting for your comments about it. Thank you.

[Samson Wanjihia]

return [1, 0][input]

[Jose Pablo Obando Gonzalez]

Hello !!

[Hwang, Geon Gu]

Nice to meet you Luis.

[Javier Garcia]

Nice! :) What kind of projects do you work in as an Electronic Engineer?

[luisandrestobon]

Well, nothing exciting. I worked for a medical company for about 7 years, but my job was to install, repair and do maintenance to medical devices. Right now my job is in the management area... kind of boring sometimes, but a job is a job ;)

[zarulyakuza]

hmm.... i need the .. have a example??

[Ryan Ordway]

Hello!

My name is Ryan and I'm a systems admin pretending to be a programmer. Looking to learn from others and hopefully give back too! Most of my experience is on the Systems/Ops side, with most of my programming being of the integration/monitoring/back end fun variety.

[David G. Johnson]

As a fellow pretender, it's great to see you here, Ryan!

[Sarah Chima]

Welcome, Ryan. You'll surely learn a lot here.

[ohffs]

I've just switched back to programming after a 10-15yr stint as a sysadmin - not having to fret about dodgy disk drives or power outages is the main plus point so far ;-)

[Dr Imhotep AlBasiel]

That sounds like a lot of fun I'm the CEO of a company and I'm not very good at programming the software firm that I developed we have over 300 developers so I don't really have to be good at coding but I have to be good at Concepts and business management but I'm really good at reading people being able to read people is really important in software development and business which is what I excel in I do code for fun with unity and JavaScript. I really should be better at coding but when you have 300 software engineers and you an American company it gives you a lot of clout and imagination to make your ideas come to life rapidly started a game development company with my four Sons because teaching him about business and technology. I thought was really important for what better way to do that than to teach business Concepts and basic development then to make your own games.

[Dr Imhotep AlBasiel]

What you see in your inner eye can become your reality

[Daniyar Zhadyrassyn]

Sounds cool! Good luck to you!

[Sameer Jadhav #JA4Me]

Hello Ryan! Great to meet you. What technologies do you use for automation being a sysadmin?

[Fareedah Amzah]

Hi Ryan. You make it sound fun.

[Matthew Hudson]

Programming can have a steep learning curve. Don't let that discourage you.
For starters:
-Pick ONE language to start with.
-WRITE lots of code. If you don't know what to write, try Project Euler. They have many small puzzles to solve.
-READ other people's code.

[Atta]

Hi everyone,

My name is Atta and I am a Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience. I mostly work as a full stack developer in Java, Spring Boot, Angular and Node.js. I would love to explore and contribute meaningfully to dev.to.

[Javier Garcia]

Welcome! :)

[Ahsan Naveed]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ahsan Naveed. I am a 4th year Computing Science student looking forward to exploring this community and learning more from Y'all!

Best,
Ahsan

[David Brewer]

Hello Ahsan!

[Cees Timmerman]

Hi all, I've been coding since 1996 and am currently overwhelmed by the many different frameworks and tech stacks. Even in Python (Why use asyncio instead of concurrent?). Same reason I quit Magic: The Gathering for 15 years when phasing was added after cumulative upkeep and one had to memorize those rules.

[Javier Garcia]

I quit Magic too when they kept on adding more and more rules rofl

[Cees Timmerman]

Fortunately, new rules are now explained on the cards themselves, and many have smartphones to look up rules online.

[David Brewer]

Hello!

My name is David. I work as a Software Engineer on backend servers running Spring Boot. I can't remember how I found out about dev.to but I'm happy to be here and be involved in this community.

[Daniyar Zhadyrassyn]

Cool! What resources do you use to learn Spring boot framework?

[ohadpr]

Hi all, my name is Ohad. I've been writing code since I was 13 years old and still consider programming and its various abstractions (logical reasoning, etc) as one of the main tools I use in my life. I started with computer graphics programming in what is known as the Demoscene and in recent history have been building web projects of all sorts and kinds.

[Liana Felt (she/her)]

Hey welcome to dev.to! How/why did you transition into web development?

[ohadpr]

Hey Liana, it was a pretty natural thing as more and more of my time as a user moved to using web apps/sites as opposed to then-native apps.

[Ben Halpern]

Welcome!

[Sarah Chima]

Welcome Ohad

[Dikshant Patodia]

Hi all,

I am a Front-end Engineer who love to code and develop web apps and websites in ReactJS with an inclination towards creating meaningful components and styling up with Material UI and SCSS (also know many other CSS frameworks ;)

[Arik]

Great to have you Dikshant!

[adigautam]

Hello, my name is Aditya. I am from India, currently working in USA. I am working in Quality Assurance field but interested in learning on how to code. I am learning Python and hoping to learn & share a lot in this forum. Thanks!

[Frederik 👨‍💻➡️🌐 Creemers]

Hi Aditya, welcome to the community :). I hope you find it useful.

[José Antonio Domínguez]

Hello Devs! My name is Jose Antonio. I'm from Tandil a village in the center of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm a student of Systems Engineering. My interests as a developer are broad, from design and implement nice looking interfaces to solving algorithmic problems. I've worked in Web Development for the past 5 years and I hope to be able to share my dev travels and hear yours!

Regards!

[Kevin Cocquyt]

Been working in the IT business since 2001 but never felt too confident to share my knowledge with the rest of the community. Started out programming cash registers using proprietary software, dipped my toes into .NET on my next job when it first came out but the next couple of years were mostly building webforms (just forms!) so not that exciting. Tried to go into consultancy next to experience newer things but, except for 1 excellent job (before I went on a world trip), never really got me anywhere until I found my current (fixed) job. Assisted in introducing .NET MVC into the company, been able to learn on the job and applying the latest in tech, project after project... Azure, JS frameworks as Knockout and Vue, self-hosted services... Always after extensive research about whether we could/should use it or not, creating a fond knowledge about different kinds of things, resulting in enough confidence to start sharing stuff. Hopefully, this will last as other (skilled) developers will eventually review the things I will write :)

PS: About my favorite non-coding hobby. That would be ice-hockey, active as a goalie and passive as a crazy San Jose Sharks fan.
PPS: I'm Belgian!

[Deef]

Welcome Kevin. Yes, it's me. Your colleague.😊

[Kevin Cocquyt]

Then I'm glad I only said positive things about my current job :D

[Enky79]

Hello everyone! I am Enky! I found this app through Github. I think it looks fantastic and I am really eager to contribute to this community! I am studying machine learning and I normally code in Python, but I am learning Javascript on the side. I am mainly interested in machine learning, game development and web development. Open source projects really fascinate me and I really want to contribute to one and start getting that experience.

Nice to meet you guys all! :)

[Arik]

happy to have you here! yes, open source is one of the finest ways to learn real-world programming

[Enky79]

Thank you!
