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.

here's one way:

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

myFunc(1)
// 0

myFunc(0)
// 1

myFunc(2)

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.

Dr Imhotep AlBasiel • Edited

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.

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.

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?).

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.

skydivedad profile image
pfmabry

Hi Gang my name is Paul but my friends call me Skydivedad. I made my first Skydive in 1976 as a member of the U.S. Army (Airborne Infantry, HdQtrs HdQtrs 525 Military Intelligence Co. 18th Airborne Corp also known as the Sky Dragons) and have accumulated 2562 Civilian and 86 Military Jumps. I am a Master Licensed Skydiver in good standing by the United States Parachute Association, our governing body here in the States. All my jumps are logged in my log book and verified by signature and license number of a fellow USPA Member/Licensed Skydivers or Pilots who witnessed or participated in the skydive. I have skydives logged in 28 different States, 12 Countries and on 4 different Continents (North & South America, Europe and Asia working on adding Africa). Each and everyone of my skydives (other than the Military Jumps) were Fun and never for money. I learned early on not to mix my Sport and my livelihood. I participated in 2 Skydiving World Record attempts neither of which were successful records but a hell of a lot of fun. World Class Level Skydiving and World/Master Level Programming share many of the same necessary traits such as continuous discipline, ongoing continuous learning & training, a constant stream of new technologies, tools and techniques, a never quit attitude is an absolute must, overcoming fear especially when the aircrafts door is opened at 20,000 feet and you're first out as a floater actually hanging on outside the plane waiting for the green light which you can't see so you rely on your teammates inside (Team work is so important in Skydiving where mistakes doing a 200 MPH head down formation dive can break bones and other such things. This Sport requires a sort of resolve that only comes with experience, which only comes from exiting the aircraft when the light turns green, this is just like the sort of resolve I encounter with the World's top Developers. Developers/Programmers like Skydivers always look to improve and aren't afraid of painful honest self evaluations because they realize it is the only way forward.
(My answer to question number 3 above)

I've been lurking this site for a while now as I'm not much of a joiner (30+ years in aerospace development tends to jade oneself) but after realizing this is a really worthwhile site with a genuine mission to advance my fellow Devs and Programmers I joined as a Patron. My hope is to become a positive and helpful member whenever I can and to realize I gain most by giving most!
All The Best

Dmitry Vdovichenko 💻🤘

Hi everyone! My name is Dmitry, I'm from Russia. I'm an automation engineer at the metallurgical plant. But last half-year I'm learning web development. I want to change my work place, because I like to code very much, it's very exciting for me. I've learned basics of HTML and CSS and also JavaScript. Now I'm trying to learn React and also, during this time, I'm reading You Don't Know JS books to fully understand, how JavaScript works. Some parts of this books I translate into russian for myself in My Medium stories with code examples from gists. I hope, that it helps me to land my first job, as a web developer.My non-coding hobbies is soccer, music and also I enjoy to travelling new spaces.

Welcome Dmitry, HTML/CSS/JavaScript has become the most wanted stack in web development.

Consider making couple of small projects so you can practice what you have learned so far.

I wish you all the best of luck.

Petr Muller

Hello everyone, I'm Petr, currently with Red Hat here in Brno, Czech Republic. I am lurking on dev.to Twitter for a while already and decided I might as well join. I tend to work on the blurry line between development and quality engineering, currently more on the development side, taking care of CI/CD for OpenShift. When not coding, I play football (the one involving feet and ball) and I recently returned to playing Magic the Gathering.

Hey Guys, my name's Ricky - I'm a Kiwi (from New Zealand) but I've been living in Colombia for 9 years now.
I'm not actually a developer (I wish!), but I am a passionate online English Coach, and I specialise in helping IT professionals achieve their goals through English.
Like you guys, I'm a lifelong learner.
Due to my niche being Software Engineers, I like to keep up with what's going on in the industry, so I can better understand, help, and have conversations with, my students.
Apart from Tech, I'm passionate about Colombia - her people, culture, language, food, music etc.
Being from New Zealand, I'm fanatical about Rugby, mother nature and the great outdoors.
It's a pleasure to be here, and I look forward to learning and sharing.
Cheers

Awesome. This place needs a bit more variety; I was starting to have trouble keeping track of which intro I've read and which one I haven't. 😁

Hello world! I'm James and am from Australia.

Found dev.to from following various people on twitter and have read a number of interesting posts. I thought it was time that I created an account and can hopefully pass on some interesting or useful information to others.

My first lines of code was some HTML when I was ten. Eight years later, I was graduating university and got a job as a website developer. Now another seven years on, I am the Lead .Net Developer at that same place.

I don't really have any non-coding hobbies but one random non-coding thing I have started doing recently is learning French (70 days in with Duolingo).
