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.

Howdy! I've heard about Dev.to for a while now and decided to take the plunge. It's been hailed as an invaluable resource for many people. Time to harness and contribute as I chase dreams.

Hello,

I am a recent bootcamp grad. I've been reading dev.to for a few months now but not participating but I will become more active. I've learned so much from this community already so I hope to be able to give back in some way!

I'm trained to be a full stack developer but I hope to build my UI/UX chops. I love making beautiful things...

Hey! I'm Dominik. I think you can find the best introduction in my first post:

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!

[Ryan Bowlen]

Did you use anything to supplement the React portion? I feel like I need something outside of the curriculum to get up and going on that cert!

[Donna Amos]

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

[Ryan Bowlen]

Haha, that is a really funny and apt way to think of it. Thanks!

Hello and welcome

[Donna Amos]

Thanks!

[bheshrajcr7]

i just want to be a react native developer?? if you can assist me with the resources then i ll be grateful. i have some sort of knowledge of es6..

[Donna Amos]

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!

Hello there. I was introduced to this site by a friendly WebDev who gives me advice sometimes. I'm currently studying HTML/CSS/JS, did some courses in person and will begin watching online ones to carry on with the learning. I pretend to work on the Back-End too someday, maybe with PHP, but right now I got my hands full.

Hope to have a good time here and not be a pain in the ass.

[Ryan Bowlen]

Hello everybody!

My first language was Java, but I am working diligently on JS right now in the hopes to become a full-time Front End Developer in 2019. I'm moving to Austin in May and want to start my new career then!

I am here to learn from and interact with awesome people in the community!

[pretzelhands]

Hey everyone! I'm Richard, 21, freelancer by trade!

I was brought here originally by another member of wip.chat when I was launching jinx, my nginx wrapper, and I received absolutely amazing feedback on it.

I'm currently working on a few site projects and trying to take up blogging as a habit. You know, growing an audience and all that jazz.

My first real programming language was probably JavaScript. I learned it when I wanted to make cool interactive things happen on my website. My next language will most likely be Go, because I'm oddly fond of its syntax. :)

Hello, World!

I just stumbled upon this site and decided to join. I am currently looking into Frontend web development although I like to mess with Backend technologies as well. The first programming language that I messed with was C++ but I haven't used it in a while so I'd consider Javascript my first well-known language.
Currently, I am learning Reactjs in hopes of finding my first web development job.
