Hola Daniel. Primer cosa, español no es mi primer idioma... lo siento si digo algo mal. Pero, quiero aprender a hablar (y escribir) mejor porque acabo de regresar de Costa Rica y quiero moverme alli. De todos modos, nada más que decir, bienvenido a DEV. :-)

Gracias, Daniel!

Y, estoy de acuerdo en que Costa Rica es muy hermosa. Debo admitir que tuve que usar la ayuda de Google para la última oración. :-)

Estoy pensando en mudarme a Puerto Viejo con mi esposa... muy cerca Panamá. Entonces, tal vez seamos vecinos. :-P

Saludos!

Hey, con respecto a lo de traducir artículos, está muy buena la herramienta de DeepL, realmente es muy precisa (muchísimo más que GTranslate) y su uso no comercial es gratuito :)

Somos muchos, en todas partes, pero se habla principalmente inglés acá, aunque hay varios artículos en español, no estoy seguro cual es la postura de DEV sobre el contenido en otros idiomas.

It could be interesting to know actually, @ben is there any problem to write content in another language aside of English? eg. Spanish. I saw a few in the past but I'm not sure what's the official position from the admins, I have a lot of tutorials in Spanish I would like to cross-post here :)

De hecho había estado compartiendo lo que aprendo por acá con unos compañeros pero me parece interesante la idea de motivar la creación de una sub comunidad para otros colegas latinos.

Claro que sí.
Creo que sería un buen aporte. Sobre todo para aquellas personas hispanas que no dominan o dominan parcialmente el inglés.
Inclusive aparte de los aportes personales creo que sería interesante traducir post de interes al español.

Use it or lose it. I'm an aged analyst involved in system Integration. I just would like to throw in my 'two cents worth' of insights.

For example, most beginners are 'gungho' to get started without knowing the 'terrain' they're in. There's FRONT-END, BACK-END and FULL-STACK DEVELOPMENT. Do they even know and understand those terms?

The popular issue is what language to get into without knowing the necessary skill sets to thrive... CONTROL STRUCTURES - CONSTRUCTS and DATA STRUCTURES - DATASTRUCTS are fundamental concepts...

Good luck 😨

This resonated for me. In all things a fundamental approach will always be the most sound. I'm well more an 'imposter' than Ms. Ashley Petitpas, but also I'm an engineering graduate M.S. Industrial Engr, with limited experiences in software development. Always have considered doing some deep dives as certain problems I'm interested in can likely be solved via politically astute application to software development, especially in machine learning and especially of the reinforcement type. But I well realize that a fundamental understanding of certain computer science topics is essential as is having a structured, rational approach to apply for every development project.

Can you suggest any thing else I should incorporate in my approach Da2@ciri3dg ?

My next trick is to perhaps take a SAS cert course for various reasons. BTW. Also thinking the MSFT Jr. Dev cert course will be helpful given the approach I've seen in the TOC.

If you still don't know html & css, start with these MARKUP languages. Then pick a language php or python.

You also need to read on control & data structures (constructs & datastructs) to be able to program.

Hi! I’m fairly new to programming. It was a hobby for a long time, and in 2018 i decided to make it my career. I love problem solving and finding ways to automate repetitive and/or tedious tasks. It’s also neat to build something useful and see people enjoy using something I helped create. Happy to be a part of this community and hope to contribute.

Hi guys! I’m Lautaro, Argentine currently living in São Paulo, Brazil.
I came here because of the 2018 rails conf. I got super curious about the site, and it’s true... it’s FAST.
I’m a Ruby in Rails developer working on a super ambitious project and I’m mainly here because I would like to learn more about “scaling” and “performance” (the dark side of rails).
Cheers!

Thana Annis

Hey, my name's Thana and I've been programming for 5 years now. I'm employed working on a Web Forms application and I'm a full stack developer. It's an old technology and wasn't written in a very maintainable way so I love getting to introduce new design patterns and concepts to the team, as well as refactor old sections of the code. In my spare time I try to work with MVC and WPF to get my feet wet in other frameworks.

Most days I absolutely love programming. There's nothing better than the rush you feel when you track down the exact line causing a bug, or when your code runs on the first try. It's never ever the same and you're free to be creative and try new things. It's an always evolving field where you write something you feel is "perfect", then look back on it a year from now with more experienced eyes and can find a way to improve it.

I kept getting suggestions to come read posts from this site and after reading enough that I enjoyed I figured it was time to join up.

Hey fellas, am Chukwunonso, Chuks for short. Am a computer science graduate based in Lagos, Nigeria. I'm an upcoming Full Stack web developer, but focusing on the front-end for now. I am strengthening my knowledge on JavaScript and hoping to get into React.js and some other framework soon.

I believe this platform is a good source of resources for progress in my career path, and I wish to utilize it to the fullest.
