Iren Korkishko

Hi, my name is Iren, and I'm a technical writer at Syndicode. I do write and read about everything happening around IT and digital. I'm addicted to news. And can do nothing with it.
I'm glad to join you community with the 1st entry article: IT education in Ukraine which is special by reflecting what is happening with education in my country.
In the near future, I decided to learn JavaScript, because I think that it's quite powerful. But still not sure if I can manage it. Will see.
For now, I mostly write about RoR, different js frameworks, useful hacks for programmers (despite I'm not a coder yet, I know where to find them) and trends in IT and development. Also I'm interested UX and UI design.

Olá!

Bonjour, comment ça va?

¿ Todo bien ?

My name is Jonathan (Hebrew: יונתן) and I'm in love with Languages. Both Programming Languages as well as regular languages.

初めまして。よろしくお願いします。

And, replying to the random question "How has technology changed how you connect with others?":

First and foremost it allowed me to connect to people I wouldn't possibly meet or interact with. And I believe this is a very positive outcome of Social Networks.

Many interesting people I met on Twitter, Linkedin or what have you, I have only met because of the very existence of those social networks. And I'm grateful for that.

As an expat (I'm from Brazil, currently living in Israel), I also learned to appreciate the easiness and immediacy that we're allowed to communicate and keep in touch with friends, family and loved ones.

I was born in a time where we had to use letters and hardwired phones... so I remember how hard it used to be. It wouldn't be anywhere as easy to leave a country for a new one 20 or 30+ years ago. I also learned to admire those who did it back then... can we imagine 100, 200 years ago?

Maedah Batool 👩‍💻 • Edited

Hey there,
This is Maedah Batool. I'm a WordPress Core Contributor, Journalist and a Developer, who reviews products, provides WordPress support and handles technical documentation.

Currently, I'm working as the Creative Director at WPTie/FinkTanks, and I also write on the WPCouple.com along with my husband, Ahmad Awais (who's a regular core contributor for WP). I have been working with WordPress for more than seven years now. I have written both in-depth tutorials and general articles for beginners and advanced developers.

I've been running a startup named FinkTanks since 2013 through which we teach blogging with WordPress along with the basics of design and code. It's been almost eight years since I've been writing. I started off with contributing at sites like Freakify, ProPakistani, and later partnered with Ahmad Awais (we got married last December :)).

Recently, I've been writing on Envato Tuts+, Creative Market and SitePoint. I co-authored a white paper with WPEngine last year and had reviewed the first book on WordPress REST API with PACKT Publishing. I managed and wrote content for the official blog of InspiryThemes and WPCouple.com. I have shared my life's story as an essay at HeroPress (heropress.com/essays/making-wordpr...).

Hello, my name is Josef Pospíšil and I started programming in 1986 on Atari 800XL. From the late 90s, I am hacking the web with (in almost this order) PHP, Java, Ruby (I was first Rubyist in the Czech Republic and maybe central Europe) and some more a little. For more than two years I am in love with ClojureScript on the front-end and through this experience, I somewhat forgave JavaScript on the back-end.

I own my second company, which I am just restarting after a dormant phase. I do it with loosely coupled micro services and a lot of fun.

Hello everyone!, I'm a student of Mechanical engineering from Venezuela but I'm doing a course of programming called CS50 becouse I like the all of the related with technology and the development of software that is closely related to it. I like too the electronic, the knowledge and everything related with the education and the information sharing.

In the course I see a few programming languages but I'm not decided yet wich to choose.

I'm glad to be here and meet more people who are interested in the technology and programming as well as view valuable information that shares each

I'm new in this world of programming so I appreciate some material to help me on my long road as a developer and technology lover

I think it's all, I finish with a question:

If you were 19 years old, what would you have like to know to be a developer? ( like information, some course to know some things more fast, some opportunity or idea to be more successful... )

Collapse
 
andy profile image
Andy Zhao (he/him)

I've heard CS50 is a great start.

Also, I think just writing a lot of code and programs is such a useful way for learning. Learning computer science is a whole lot of theory and what not, but what has gotten me this far as a developer is just making projects and programs.

OH and @vaidehijoshi has been writing Basecs, her computer science program/series. Great stuff!

Marco Alka • Edited

Hey everyone out there!

Nice to meet you :) My name is Marco and I am an Application (especially Rust) and Web Engineer. In addition to that, I engage myself in mentoring and the spread of Enterprise2.0! I work in the web and eCommerce consulting department of Bosch CI (Corporate Sector Information Systems & Services) in Stuttgart, Germany.

I studied B.Eng. Engineering Informatics, which means that I can do technical engineering, software engineering and anything in between. Currently, I am adding the M.Sc. Applied IT Security to my portfolio, so that the world will become a safer place for your data!

I have two major hobby projects: The first is an application host, which focuses on building a good foundation for web applications - stuff like automated security and performance optimization. You write the application, SHPS (that's what it's called) does the rest for you! If you like the idea, give it a try, open issues and maybe even help me implement all the missing stuff (I really need a helping hand!). The second project is a MMORPG game with many ideas which have never been implemented in a game before. For now, it uses very young tech only (Rust, Amethyst (which is ECS-only), etc.)

All in all, thanks for taking interest in me. If you want to know more about me, take a look at my homepage (caution: its old and I am working on a new one) :)

Hope to hear from you!

Marco

PS.: Found two bugs on dev.to D: My "Summary" is quite long, however it seems the field should have only accepted shorter inputs. Now everything is saved and I can annoy you all with a giant block of text, haha. The second bug is that I cannot change my avatar, so now I will always use that super cool "real" photo of me ;P Seriously, is there any "report bug" or "feedback" functionality? I am too lazy to write a mail every time I encounter a bug ;P

Haha, yeah that's a hidden feature we have... We do have an error page you can report things, but this is certainly not a bad place for that. We also have a Github repo where you can write an issue.

Summaries technically don't have a limit, but there probably should be one.

Changing my profile picture works though. Shoot me an email at andy@dev.to and we can continue there, if you'd like.

Scott Hurrey

Hello. My name is Scott and I am a Senior Software Engineer at Blackboard. I am responsible for our Developer Community, so I spend a lot of time planning and executing Developer Conferences, writing sample code and documentation, and mostly just getting my nerd on!

I enjoy polyglot programming, which writing sample code for REST APIs makes very easy. I enjoy the MEAN stack and Python the most these days, but I've yet to find a language I can't have fun with. I cut my teeth developing C on unix (yes, I'm that old, I didn't just spell Linux wrong haha) for 12 years before joining Blackboard.

I am currently learning the intricacies of the IMS Global Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) specification. I've "implemented" it several times using libraries, but I'm spending some quality time with the spec to implement it from scratch to wrap my head around it.

Favorite side project was the migration of a Blackboard Building Block (aka a Tomcat Webapp) to an LTI application using REST APIs using the MEAN stack. It was a fun project and I enjoyed teaching myself Angularjs as I went along.

Lastly, technology as changed the way I connect with others by forcing me to have 6 communication apps open at all times, eating up all of my computer resources, making me really grumpy when I talk to people. Ok, just kidding about that last bit... or am I?

Naren

Hey guys, I am 'Naren' from India with 4 years of industry experience and currently I work as a backend engineer for an A.I startup. I just started blogging and found this platform through twitter, I am here, so that I can engage in discussions with other devs as well as publish my posts.

Happy to discuss/help about all things python, golang, databases, postgres, redis, AWS, IoT, backend infrastructure and engineering.

Officially I am more into python, but a while back I started coding in golang by creating this open source command line tool

I am also a regular speaker in conferences and love to guide newbies in the tech I know.

Jason K Bellew

Hey, I'm Jason! I'm a Business Analyst with a large bank. Currently, finishing up my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Just turned back towards python programming as my education has turned me onto Data Science.

I fell into dev.to reading Ben's article on Atom vs VS Code. I'm an old emacs user turned vim user but needed to do some C#/.Net Core programming for school. And VS Code seemed a direction since I'm running Fedora on my desktop/laptop.

I haven't really thought about posting anything but since I'm looking to continue education by getting a Master's in Data Science maybe I'll start posting some of the stuff I'm learning, and maybe teach some others while I'm learning.

Hi ! My name is Hamza, I’m a Software Engineer @Capgemini.
I am working on web projects using php and some Javascipt as a side language. I also am fond of JavaScript frameworks, although I’ve only used Angular and React so far.
I sometimes code for fun and try to make useful tools for the open source community to use, doesn’t feel at all like work to the point I need to go on vacation by force !
I’d love to familiarize with Ruby and Python, as I only have been using php and Java as main languages which seems kinda poor to me.
Nice to meet y’all and hope we get to exchange and grow together !

Matthew French

Hi ... my name is Matt. I am a student at the University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom studying for a BA in Digital Art & Technology. Currently, I am on my placement year, working as a web developer for a small studio in Plymouth.

My background is in web development although, until recently, I hadn't coded in anger for about 10 years. I am still hugely interested in all aspects of web development, both frontend and backend.

My placement involves contributing to Laravel projects. This has come as something of a learning curve, having never used Laravel before and possessing limited (and rusty) PHP skills. Lots has changed in the past decade ;)

I am keen to get up to speed with modern web development, OOP PHP, SASS, Laravel, Javascript, JQuery, etc., etc., etc.!

Jo Chong

Hi, my name is Jo, and I'm a returning software engineer trying to get back to the industry. The tech industry has changed a lot since my last software engineer role 8 years ago. I'm trying my best to learn new technologies, relearn C# and JavaScript, reconnect with people in this field, and keep a positive attitude towards this whole process. My most recent project is qwk.io that allows unregistered users create surveys using markdown syntax. I just finished all the feature but have not done any UI design or test cases. I learned a great deal of Node.js and Angular 4 throughout this project and my next step is to learn Karma or Jasmine.
I hope I'll be able to find a junior software engineer position soon. Thank you for reading.
