Hello! My first programming language was Ruby. Think it really was the best starting programming language for me because it is:

  1. reads kind of like English
  2. doesn't require understanding too many symbols to start
  3. has an overall wholesome and kind community

I have high hopes for my next language, but it'll be fun to play around with either WebAssembly (I think it's a language?) or Rust.

Hello!
I just became certified as a full stack developer @ Free Code Camp. My first language was HTML, of course, but I'm currently working on learning JavaScript in depth and seeking my first dev job on the Front End. On that note, what's the best way to find a remote job?
Thanks for all the great advice already. Keep up the good work!

I just tried looking for help on the FCC forum and then googling the sections if I couldn't find the answer. What really got me through a good portion of FCC was Colt Steele's Web Developer course on Udemy. It's only around $10 last I checked. Also, I just thought "If HTML and JavaScript had a baby, it would be React." My mind is funny that way. :D

Hey, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. I haven't been on here that much. I don't know many other resources that are free other than Free Code Camp. I'm currently taking Flatiron School's online Software Engineer boot camp. It has a React section I'll be working through. If your looking for concentrated courses, I'd check Udemy courses. They're affordable with great content. Also, check out Free Code Camp's Youtube channel. Good luck!

Hi. I began programming almost a year ago and recently completed a programming bootcamp and General Assembly. While I'm still very much an amateur, programming, the web, and computer science fascinate me and I'm eager to learn as much as I can (and hopefully get a great job in the process!). Most of my experience thus far has been with Javascript, but right now I'm working on learning Python.

Hey all!

To introduce myself: I'm a first year MBA student at Stanford currently, coming off of a five year career in tech finance, most of which I was a venture capital investor investing in enterprise software and consumer internet companies. Prior that I graduated with a degree in Economics from Yale University.

I have always been a huge tech nerd - building desktop computers, coding up websites as a kid, and most recently self-teaching myself Python and the various machine learning / deep learning packages (Sklearn, PyTorch TensorFlow).

I am passionate about using software and machine learning to make human beings more productive in what they love doing.

To that end, while an investor I lead investments in incredible developer tooling companies like GitLab and Epic Games (known for both Fortnite and the Unreal Engine).

Look forward to interacting with all of you!

I just started to learn Kotlin in my free time and I love it from the beginning (is anybody else here also using/loving it?).

My plan is to publish some articles here on dev.to about Kotlin to get a deeper knowledge of the programming language for myself and to hopefully give something useful back to the community here.

Looking forward to exciting discussions with you guys.

Hey 👋

I'm Nicolas, web developer in a start-up called Busbud, living & working in Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦

Mainly doing JavaScript front & back, but playing with Elixir & Elm from time to time and tried different others in the past (PHP, Ruby, Python and a bit of Java). I'm really into "how to build maintainable software" subjects (aka Software Craftsmanship) and always curious to learn more about functional programming, reactive programming and the like.

I regularly came here to read interesting articles on software development. I also use to blog on my personal website and re-publish the articles on Medium to connect with a broader community. But I'm tired of the writing experience of tech articles on Medium, so I decided to give Dev.to a shot… And wow! Markdown, code highlighting… That's what I was looking for – thank you!

My first programming language was actually plain HTML/CSS with sprinkles of JS/jQuery – yup, essentially front-end integration. The next one would probably be Elixir, but I'm happy with JS/TS too 😄

Howdy. I started developing apps in 1996 and I've been doing it ever since. These days I work full time remote and spend a lot of my time managing projects, dev teams, designing architecture, etc. At the moment I'm working mostly with C#/Javascript/Typescript/Angular/React.

I've spent a lot of my career working fairly independently, which has suited me as someone who's never been particularly outgoing. However, I feel like I should always be looking to improve myself in a variety of ways. So I'm focusing more on meeting, working with, helping and learning from other people.

Some (possibly) interesting personal notes: I'm an American expat living in England (for nearly 14 years now). I'm working on a new podcast about building software. I'm also a hobbyist photographer and love spending my time taking pictures of things I find beautiful while hiking/biking/running.

Now I've rambled on a lot, so I'll leave some room for others!

The first language I was introduced to was C#, which is very demanding syntax-wise... I am very interested in front end development and have started freecodeCamp a while ago...
I would like some suggestions on how to prepare for an internship interview, as I feel soo "not ready" even almost graduating from a technical level study in computer programming.

I have a specific vision for how I see WebAssembly disrupting software development across the board. I've been spending countless hours in my personal time to work towards this end, myself. I'm very excited to see how we will solve very cool problems with a unified platform. With WebAssembly, WebGL/WebGPU, WebSockets/WebRTC, the web has evolved way past a simple document sharing platform, and WASM is a huge step towards a true application platform.

Anyways, I'm excited about it, and I'm just looking for ways to constantly be learning more about it, and perhaps even share some of my own experiences.

Hi everyone!

I've been coding for about 10 years now, mostly in JavaScript (mostly with React), Swift, and Objective-C.

Recently I've been learning all about Docker, Kubernetes, and Microservices and I'm moving into a new role as a software engineering manager (which at my company still involves a lot of writing code).

Syed Bhai

Hello everyone! I am Syed Kaleem from India. I am a Back-end web developer. I deal with Java and MySQL.

I stated coding way back in 2005(I was 10 years old) and QBASIC was my first language(I am guilty of using GOTO statements).

I then moved over to C and stayed there till I got a job as a web developer. My greatest regret is not moving beyond the algorithms and logical problems in C, had I known C was used to write most of the software we use, I would have taken a very different approach to coding. Not just as a tool to solve maths.

Fully aware of my past mistakes, I am now learning Rust. My aim is to build tools and document them and may be, if they are good enough, share here.

Hi everybody!

my name is Victor. I just stumbled upon this site and decided to join. My first Programming Language was HTML. I am currently looking into Backend web development although I like to mess with Frontend technologies as well.

I have been developing using the Procedural method of programming as that was how I learnt in college.

Currently, I am learning Vuejs and Laravel in hopes of building my first web development project with the Object Oriented methodology.

Hello everyone !!

My first language was C++, mainly due to college.

Thanks to the great teacher I had I really committed in his classes and then fell in love with programming. From that point was a long journey to get to path that I'm right now.

From C++ I jumped to python for a few months, then discovered the web development, and went to PHP for a few more months, than ruby (for RoR) than React Native

When I first started learning React Native I had no idea about javascript, just some basic DOM manipulations) and then I discovered I would have to learn JS first.

From that I just can't stop with javascript.

At the moment is a bit difficult to tell what would be my next language. Javascript ecosystem is so, soooo huge that I think I'll spend a lot of time within its world.

But I would like to hear from you guys. What would you recommend me to learn next?

Jason

Morning!

Jason from NY/NJ. I have been an email developer since 2013, although I have continued to work on Java and my Java schooling. That is where I truly want to be, whether it's Java web services or, front end, backend, or nothing but gui developing.

My truly first language was TI basic long ago in my TI 99/4A. Although when I went back to school in 2009, it was Java and JavaScript.

I am a rabid reader, passionate outdoors-person, guardian of 3 kittens (read: servant) and home baker. I married my best friend, finally on our 15th anniversary. I love coding very much and want to leave a better world than the one we're living in now.

Thank you!

Jason

PS sorry if I babbled, it's a char flaw, or gift if you're generous.

Hello Guys! My first programming language was C. I was able to quickly start programming hardware with it and bring things to life.

Then I got interested in OOP and I had to pick up C++ especially because it felt and sounded like a level 2 for C, which is kinda correct. I picked up Java at my first internship and moved on to Python after I realized I could not easily develop a neural network and do data analysis with Java for my final year project then, even using NeuroPH. I realized how much I was missing with the whole pip install scipy and scikit. Fast forward to early 2016 I discovered TensorFlow.

I am looking forward to picking up GoLang.
