Welcome Arnelle,

I look forward to reading your thoughts on the transition form Vue to React. I'm making a foray into React from Angular. I enjoy Angular 2+ and now I'm at a point where I'm ready to check out other frameworks. A few customers in my market have asked about Vue and so I think that will be my next look after React.

Thanks Stephen!

Will definitely write about my experience with React. I am rebuilding my personal site with React and have learned a lot from it. Still needs more practice though to get comfortable with it 😆

Vue is cool as well in its own way, totally worth checking out 👍

Phil Fernandez

Hi, I'm Phil. I am a 39 year old undergraduate studying Computer Science at Sacramento State. I'm about half way through my junior year. I love math, puzzles, and solving problems in general. Starting this Spring I'll be learning about database management systems, computer organization, and software engineering, as well as linear algebra.

Outside of school, at the moment, I've been spending allot of time teaching myself about web development. Things like the basics, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and some other topics that fall under that umbrella, such as Python and Django and Flask, React, Sass/scss, etc.

I don't remember how, or where, but somehow I stumbled across this site and it seems pretty cool. For a while I was just lurking, but I though what the heck, why not sign up? So here I am!

Phil Fernandez

Hi Jesse,

Before Sacramento State, and for most of my adult life, I was doing varying types of trade work. Carpentry, house painting, handyman work, etc. I owned a small business for several years doing this type of work. A few years back I was presented with the opportunity to attend school for training in any field of my choosing. I've always had a thing for computers, so I decided to give CS a go. Initially the plan was to just attend a local community college for an associates degree, but once I got going in academia I really enjoyed it. I decided to take it to the next level and go for that four year degree.

Currently, I'm learning React and planning to learn CSS Grid & Flexbox as well. I also plan to finish learning all the new JavaScript features, like async & await and so forth, so that I don't have too much trouble developing UIs in React. I also plan to start writing on publications like Medium & Dev.to so that I can expand my knowledge base while teaching others as well.

I love programmer humor, food, and coffee. If you guys have any of those at your disposal, feel free to tweet me @Crescive10.

Happy coding to everyone!

I transitioned from SDET(QA) profile to full stack developer in 2018. I am playing with Web Technologies(HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP) since year 2004 however seriously thought about moving to new role(dev) in 2017. After preparation(learning modern JavaScript) for almost a year I applied for IJP in my current organisation where I got as selected Staff Software Engineer role. I must say JavaScript has matured in past couple of years.

I would like to say thanks to everyone who, made free content available on sites like dev.to, medium.com, youtube.com, egghead.io to name a few, that helped me in grasping new technologies and clearing my doubts.

Why I joined dev.to?

Hai!

I'm Rik, a full-time indie product developer dad from The Netherlands. 🧔🧀

Been working as a web developer and designer for about 15 years. A couple of years ago I decided to start freelancing and save some money so I could take a chance at making a full-time income from selling web plugins. I work from home so I can spend lots of time with my kids (a 1-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son, crazy times). Also, I love snowboarding 🏂

Mid 2017 half my income came from selling web plugins on Envato, and the other half from client work. Near the end of 2018 I released Doka.js and it's starting to look like Doka is raising my product income to almost enough to stop client work and focus on products full-time.

I love writing about web development and have a dusty own blog. To compensate for the commercial plugins I sell (it always makes me feel like I'm promoting my own work) I also build fun and useful open source plugins like FilePond.js and Shiny.js.

I'll most likely write about little tips and tricks I use in my products and how to use my open source products (and maybe one of my commercial products) in your projects.

Marton Dobay • Edited

Hi there,

I'm Marton I was just listening to the indie hackers podcast with Ben, while plaining wood at a wood yard in the Hungarian countryside.
: )
That's how I heard of dev.to.

My creative path is:
Photographer--->videographer--->hand drawn animation creator--->graphic designer--->webdesigner--->frontend developer (no JS)--->hustler of web creations.

Besides our creative family business I became an employee (after 4 years of entrepreneurship) doing woodwork outdoors mixed with process and overall development of the wood yard. I love wood, and dealing with people and processes, so am enjoying this adventure too.

I would really like to know some more coding languages, so I could create some more stuff more easily, and therefore live this life more freely. I haven't yet been able to spend enough time learning because honestly, covering our basic needs as a family is quite a task...but that's the challenge I chose to overcome.

This is my first time introducing myself to a community... and finally taking some steps towards sharing my knowledge and experience, and in the process learning from others.

I love the site design, and the feel of the whole community.
I'm grateful to be here!

I have been a 'developer' since 1980, the word loses meaning and depth with every passing day, in a tangent... ;) We have become slaves to an 'agenda' of data (habit) mining, marketing, McJobs and 'trending'... As John Dvorák said, the only important thing that happened in the automobile industry is the automatic transmission - the rest is just gadgets - although I like my '4-Matic' and 'AWD' with voice controlled GPS ;)

Today EVERYTHING is developed, if at all, in India, China/Russia and Eastern Europe - the rest are just consumers.

I have always been passionate about computers. At first, they use to look like magic boxes that could do things based on the desires of their owners.

The first time I got to touch one, I realized that it wasn't that ready to do what I wanted. It made me understand that there are steps in order to talk to it. Our first date was awful. I could not make the lady talk much. Then I asked myself the ultimate question:

How, on earth, can I make this stuff work?

This question changed my life.

It helped me set goals. It guided me here today. I am still in the quest to answer the question. Because of it, I had to learn:

  • many languages(to talk to the lady lol)
  • graphics designing
  • web designing
  • web development
  • frontend & backend stuff

This was helpful. I was able to make her say some words. But as we exchange some words on a daily basis, I am starting to understand that there is still a lot to know about her.

So, I decided to make a dissection of her body(yeah) so that I can understand the basic components and functions. And there is a science for that. I had to learn it. Then I learned:

  • physics
  • mathematics
  • electronics

Here I have started to see why she couldn't talk to me anyhow.

I kind of know how to go about talking to her now. Her sub-components are extensively many and complex. It's built on top of a fantastic logic. It takes a lot of time to study them and how they relate to each other. In fact, if I am to understand them well I need a bit of chemistry... well it's deep.

I am zooboole, I study computers and along do what people do with computers.

Thanks

Hey Everyone!

I'm Jeff. Working full time as a front-ender with an amazing dev team. I'm self taught, then attended a bootcamp to fully take the plunge and change careers. Best decision I've ever made! I definitely still feel like an "imposter", but I'm learning everyday.

Happy to be here and contribute what I can.

Hi all.

Been trying to find work as a Front End Web Dev since getting my college degree, but relocation is not an option and there aren't many companies in my area hiring for it. So I've been working other jobs while trying to get established as an independent contractor... but it's tough doing it on your own sometimes. About once a year or so I get into a funk where I try to find remote work, thinking it'd just be easier to work for someone else, but my lack of experience makes it impossible to be seen or given a chance.

I've seen a few people I follow on Twitter sharing things here on DEV, so I figured it was time for me to check it out and start sharing some of my own stuff.

Most of my projects are on bitbucket.org/sunfireweb, and I'm on Twitter @chillsunfire

Looking forward to learning and connecting.

Hello all,
I'm coming from an IT systems consulting background and am currently focusing full-time studying for a career change to front-end web dev. Been using Treehouse, FCC, CS50 and more, focused mainly on vanilla HTML, CSS, JS to get a good foundation. Just starting React and plan to spend some time on WordPress as well - hoping that this set of skills will help me land my first dev gig and looking forward to learning/participating here!

Hey people! My name is Sebastian and I am trying to get my CS degree and learning Full Stack Web Development on the side.
I am an immigrant in the United States working on getting my residence status and hopefully someday become a full fledged American Citizen!
I am passionate about politics, non-profit organizations (specially those dedicated to education), and Artificial Intelligence.

I came to this site after reading an inspiring piece by Maribel Duran in Medium titled "My journey from first generation college grad to Software Engineer" where she recommends various great communities like this one. I recommend her articles if you're struggling with motivation or looking for some basic resources to tie concepts down.

I know it's a long introduction, but long story short, I have been trying the "lone wolf" approach to learning and it has been hard and frustrating, so I decided to beat the shyness and language barrier and put myself out there, and I cannot wait to share my experiences and read about everyone else's around here!

Thanks for reading!
If you have advice, or are going through a similar situation do reach out and let's talk about how to make this exhausting path we've chosen a smooth ride!
