Hey folks,
Airbrake here! We're an error monitoring tool that you should definitely try if you don't already have one. There. Now the shameless plug is out of the way.
We're excited to hop on to dev.to and share some of the posts coming out of our blog. We'll mostly be using dev.to to share content we think offers helpful advice for IT management, but we also write a ton of stuff for beginners. You can find all of it at airbrake.io/blog
Eager to hear your thoughts on our writing and read what everyone else is publishing!
Have a swell rest of your Thursday.
Howdy!
Hello! I'm Marty.
I've been toying with the idea of writing an article for a while. I'd like to find a way to translate the topics I'm currently studying into something immediately useful, and I've read that the act of teaching or explaining something is a great way to solidify new knowledge.
I've always held back thanks to a fear that I don't have the "authority" to say very much in this field, but a little voice in my head knows that that's not really a requirement in order to contribute something useful to this community. I'm hoping that by signing up for this site and introducing myself, I'll have moved one step closer to reaching my goal of publishing my first article. Cheers!
Welcome Marty!
I understand that fear very well! Up until a few months ago, I had daily impostor syndrome and it still nags me now and again.
I just try to remember that the teaching model that we were likely raised by, whereby the facade of top-down education taught us that we could not teach without perfection, is not a true representation of how we learn.
We were trained to think that the teacher and the learner are separated, the teacher passing something to the learner and nothing to him/her self. The act of teaching seemed as an activity that only happens during certain times of day.
The reality, fortunately, is that the teacher and the learner are the same and it is happening all of the time. To teach IS to learn.
At this point in my commenting, a related fear of mine pops in mind to say, "Now, listen to you, all arrogant-like, trying to 'advise' this person. Who do you think you are!? Just delete this and don't embarrass yourself." And I could respond with submission and give in to that fear; retract my sharing. I could respond with aggression and an attempt to shut down my fear, to tell it to shut up. OR I could surrender to the process of allowing myself to learn by doing.
Submitting or shutting myself down means that I won't communicate, my own learning is stifled and I offer nothing to anyone else. I can do those things. I have made those choices many times. BUT, right now, I am choosing to allow myself the possibility of making a mistake in communication, for the sake of creating the opportunity to learn. If my aim is to teach only, I will not learn. If I aim to learn only what an "expert" possesses, I will never teach. However, when I share my experiences and engage with others in the process, the fear weakens, knowledge and understanding is developed and joy follows.
Anyway, I hope this long-winded thought helps you to develop your first article! :D
Welcome, Marty! I'm excited to read that first article.
I'm glad that the "little voice" of encouragement is already there. I think that one of the most destructive misconceptions that stops people from publishing articles is the false belief that you have to be an expert to write a worthwhile article.
I've learned so much from junior/intermediate developers sharing their realizations and experiences. They're often written in a much more approachable manner, step-by-step, without assuming existing knowledge.
Cheers!
Thanks for that, Peter! Cheers!
Hey Marty. I understand about the fear of writing and posting your first article. I'm in the same position. I'm transitioning from a career as a teacher into tech, and so I've been putting in a lot of work to learn the tools of the trade.
For me, the most helpful articles have been short 'how tos' on doing pretty specific things, such as user authentication with Passport and Sequelize, how to set up a MongoDB database, getting Socket.io into your project, etc.
I'm not sure what your direction was for your article, but just putting out there what I like to see!
Anyways, good luck!
Hi Marty, I'm sure you'll do well just believe in yourself!
Greetings all! My name is Deanna, and I have a loop running in my head that says "you know nothing, Jon Snow!" In that scenario, I'm Jon Snow. Just to be clear.
I know that I've learned a ton in the last few months, but I still struggle like crazy with pretty much everything. It's always interesting to go back a few assignments, though. Once I move on a bit, I look at those older ones and think "wow, I totally get it now. I wonder why it didn't click earlier?" That's what keeps me going: knowing that it will eventually click, albeit not as fast I'd prefer.
Here's to everyone giving each other a hand!
Hey! I'm Ali!
I have been writing a blog on how I learn new things as a developer, and I think I'm going to port that blog here because the community seems great and Markdown support is a gamechanger.
I teach people how to code at General Assembly, which I love. I have quite a bit of experience teaching fullstack JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. I have also done work in C++ and Java.
Right now I'm really into front-end work. This is the first time in my career I've had time to really hone in those skills, and I really like the artistic side of development.
Before that, my job was somewhere in between full stack web dev and data science -- it was a ton of fun too, but I really love the social-ness of teaching.
I'm also trying to talk at more conferences and meetups, so if anybody needs a speaker or teacher, reach out!
My #1 tip for people starting out is to find what part of development you love and then get really good at it. Writing code can be something different for everybody, and that's my favorite part of it. Really artistic people can work on animations and design-oriented CSS, mathematical people can do amazing things with data science, problem solvers can be great software architects or debuggers, musicians can do a ton with sounds on the web, etc! Find your niche and run with it, because you will be so much more likely to want to spend time developing yourself professionally and your enthusiasm will show!
I am super excited to be part of this community, and my first post is up! dev.to/aspittel/how-i-finally-buil...

Welcome!!
What's GA teaching these days? When I went through WDI, it was Ruby/Sinatra, Rails, Angular & Node.
I feel like @sirjessthebrave would have the intel on any DC meetups that need speakers!
Sorry for the late reply - I was on a glorious no tech vacation in Japan for 2 weeks!! Yah I have the low down on some of the DC tech meetups - what kind of stuff are you looking for Ali?
Hey! That's awesome - sounds like a lot of fun! I am pretty into front-end and portfolio stuff right now, but I used to be primarily back-end, so I'm decent with that stuff too! My primary stack is React/Vue/Vanilla JS with Node/Python backend. Thank you so much!
Thanks!!!! š
We do Rails/Node/Express/React + a tiny bit of Python right now! It's a ton of fun. Awesome to hear from previous WDI people! What campus did you go through?
New York! Let me know if you're ever visiting and want to grab a āļø / šµ / š»!
Hey, there!
I am a full-stack JavaScript expert with almost 10 years of experience and CEO at CreativeIT, a software house in Belarus. Here Iām responsible for technical consulting, negotiating with customers, and managing our team.
Being an active contributor to open source development, Iām proud that many of our companyās products have a lot of stars on GitHub. So, Iām going to create my own blog on this amazing platform and share experience with you.
Also, I will be glad to discuss technical issues and exchange ideas. Hope, I will become a great part of this community.)
Hey, nice to meet you!
Hello! I'm Ryota Murakami.
I work as a Front End Developer, who like React, React OSS community, and especally fan of redux, also Dan Abramov(redux author).
I've been learning workflow, architecture, testing of React Based Application. There is a long way to go...
Thank you so much :D
Hey! I'm a front-end developer and I also enjoy React, Redux, and React community. With a 9-year experience in building React and JS applications, I'm also an active open-source contributor. Nice to meet you!
Hello! Nice to meet you!
Welcome here! :D
Thx for your reply(Ā“āļ½)
Hi there. I'm Rachel. After taking a five year walkabout where I wrote a book on UI animation (Animation at Work with A Book Apart: bkaprt.com/aaw ), wrote API docs and did some fun tooling projects with browsers like Firefox, I'm looking at getting back into my frontend dev rootsāor specifically, digging into the heart of programming. I'm surrounded by some inspiring people I can't wait to learn from!
Hi Rachel! Nice to meed you!)
So awesome to have you onboard Rachel.
Welcome! I always find it hard to work on my frontend skills, mostly because I don't know where the resources are. Any specific resources you use/are using to improve your frontend dev skills?
I'm using a lot of the courses from Frontend Masters and books like Grokking Algorithms :)
Welcome aboard Rachel! Front-end is šš½ though the back-end is nice too. š
Hello!
I'm VĆctor, I'm a software developer and I've got something to say; dev.to is such a great thing, I do not only love coding, I find the "world" around it truly fascinating.
I'm glad to be part of a nice community, thanks mates.
It got me excited. Gonna see around and discover this "world" @ dev.to.
Hi Devs, I always wanted a dev.to account, now I have one, yay!
Its gonna be fun
Woohoo! Welcome!
tanx man
Welcome, Nddy!
ayyye. welcome, i feel the same way.
Hey all, I'm Ryan. Been a developer for nearly a decade, and an agile coach for around 4. I have a weakness for helping other developers navigate the weird career they've chosen and building better teams.
I've worked for startups, investment banks, educational tech companies, advertising, food service, shipping and logistics, and non-profits.
That's a lot of experience. Any preference of startup to big company or preference of industry after all that?
Do you still do a lot of development or are you more focused on the agile coach part? If so, what's the reason for the switch? Asking as a budding developer. :)
Lot of questions!
I really love the passion and energy that comes with working at a start up. I don't like how unhealthy it tends to get with lack of pay, benefits, or the idea that you have to work to death to be successful. Large companies are slower and more stable, but it allows a great opportunity to sharpen your skills.
As for the agile thing, well, I believe its my calling. The people I've worked with over the years that have been able to experience agility as it aspires to be describe it as the best experience of their career. I'd like to focus on giving people that kind of fulfillment over writing some code.
Hi! I'm Lens.
I wish to have a full stack development skills. I am currently working on a project to build a artificial personal assistant that helps people to manage basic activities,helps in time & daily management and help people do the tasks they want and need to do (get work done).
I am very happy to exchange and learn from professional engineers like you guys!
Hi Lens! Welcome.

Hello, I'm Robert.
I am currently doing React/RN in SoloLearn and simultaneously majoring in Computer Science in American University of Armenia. I am trying to expand my knowledge as much as possible, as I am 18 yrs old and have a lot to learn. The articles I may write will usually be about the hardships and solutions on some problems I encounter while developing React/RN apps. Some of them come from documentation not being fresh or wrong, or some hacky solutions in certain cases, better patterns and architecture and best practices.
P.S. I love such communities and looking forward to write some articles. I still fear I am not good enough to talk about best practices and stuff but I will try my best :)
Hello I'm KK
I'm a Japanese college student and I usually study about computer science and wireless sensor network.
But wireless sensor network is not uninteresting...
I want to study about system programming or software engineering.
I love golang and making libraries, cli.
And I want to contribute to golang or famous golang's package.
If there are developers of golang or golang's library in this place please get along with me.
Thank you.

Oh, I've said nothing about myself: I'm in web dev for 10+ years, most of the work I've done is private freelance work. Now a days I'm trying to get more involved in blogging, contributing back to the community little by little and working on a WordPress Plugin that'll (hopefully) change my life for good š
Hey, I'm Pierre !
I just discovered this community through the last update of Vivaldi (vivaldi.com/blog/the-browser-you-w...)
I'm a young french developer, enthusiast and curious about tech. I'm kind of new into programming and everything about IT but I do my best to learn and improve myself in as many ways as I can !
The last things I did were:
My favorite language so far is Python but I would love to learn more about others (Why not Malbolge!) or improve in the ones I know.
Happy Coding !
Bienvenue !

Hello World!
I'm Ephraim, a budding fullstack Dev from Nairobi, Kenya currently working as a web and mobile technology trainer at a college in my hometown.
I remember when I decided to learn how to code almost 2years ago and how overwhelmingly new(and strange) everything seemed at that time, and how many times I told myself this*coding* wasn't for me, and the only reason I kept at it was reading about how similar other people's journey learning how to code was,and ohh boy! I'm I glad I did.
I'm now a self-taught dev still learning whose gainfully employed teaching other people how to code, thanks to all the awesome devs who take time off their busy schedule to put up a blog podcast tutorial sharing their knowledge with the world.
Glad to join such an amazing community and can't wait to publish my first article on the things I've learned teaching/learning how to code :-)
Hi Ephraim
I'm always glad to meet other developer from Africa region (I'm from Madagascar, we're that far)
Were you already involved in a some professional field before starting to learn coding ?
Always a pleasure meeting a fellow African coder:-).
I was in IT but as a network admin, never knew I could learn to code on my own, access to info i guess.
Hi everyone! I'm Mervin.
I'm a web developer who loves Javascript. I'm here to share and write articles just to learn and improve my knowledge and skills. I'm not an expert but I know that each one of us has our own idea or opinion.
I'm hoping that by writing articles on this site will give me more confidence. Thank you :D
Hallo, I'm Yasar(pron. Yashar).
Current computer science student, and I have a job interview next week in a start-up, focused on blockchain solutions for businesses. My role for the job will be researching, developing, helping out the team.
So, reaching out to you lads, how can I prepare myself the best way for the interview? Shall I get in touch with the software the company has developed? Or should I just prepare myself in terms of blockchain tech?
Greets!
For those who are interested in: therefore it is a start-up company, they have no real HR. So, the interview was really not 'aggressive', it was quite relaxed, friendly, and personal. I was asked a little about my experiences and the technology they use in their products, my willingness to learn new topics, passion..
It was quite good, I think I got the job :)
Update after 3-4 months: I got the job. I am working as a junior software developer in a quite successful start-up now, as a working-student, part-time. I enjoy my time. It's a lot to learn, especially if you are a student yet.
I guess this is gonna jazz up my CV. The only thing missing are the good grades. And a girlfriend
Hello everyone!
I'm Marko, cofounder of SemaphoreCI.com, hosted CI/CD service.

Hi there !
I'm glad to meet you all! I try to write an article / month to give back to the community the awesome knowledge I took from many open sources projects and tech articles.
I'm a fullstack dev (despite the fact I hate this word); i.e. i've worked with JS on the front and Python on the back; and sometime an ops (with cool modern tools like Terraform and Ansible).
I'm mainly writing on Python/Backend topics, in French or English.
Cheers!
Hey everyone,
I'm Shane, I am a .NET developer, and have been working around software/web development for the last 4 years or so. Excited to hopefully be able to give back to the community that helped make my career possible.
Hi, I am Alugbin Abiodun.
I want to be a core backend developer, but i have been stuck on writing php in different flavours, vanilla, Laravel and slim.
I do have a basic JAVA background with java swing and java fx and i have tried some basic applications with spring framework.
Now, am currently learning go, and i intend to make the best out of the language and also to be the best i can be.
I will love to work on distributed system with high demand of increased uptime and availability.
Also from backend, i will like to migrate to either big data or Machine Learning.
Its good to be here and i hope i can get some things done from this platform.
I hope i will also be able to contribute the little i know to newbies/beginners thereby preserving the continuity of the community.
Thanks all.

Hi, my name is Michael. The Changelog Podcast brought me here!
I'm a frontend developer, getting into mobile, and working part-time. In the remaining time I study Clojure, tinker with Emacs, and try to contribute to the open source community. I use React with the mainstream toolset.
Oh cool! I didn't even realize that went live.
Hello everyone!
I've been reading a lot of articles as an anonymous user but no more! I'm excited to contribute to this awesome community.
Fun fact: I am colorblind and made Mr. Dalton an iOS app to combine my clothes #fashionPolice. If you are interested you can check it out here gonzalezanguita.github.io/dalton-iOS/
Hoping to get inspired for writing an article, maybe about Mr. Dalton.. who knows.

Hi Everybody!
My name is Ruthie. I'm currently a student in a full stack coding bootcamp. I'm more interested in the frontend than the back and am here for guidance, should I have questions. I thank you for your time and help in advance.
Hi everyone!
I am Aggeliki and i study IT. I like programming in android and HTML but i have programmed in some different languages for High school projects!

Hi everyone, Luke here.
I've been meaning to start writing blogs about my musings on React, software development, the ethics of social networking, perceptions of tech, privacy, security, messaging, etc. so I thought I'd join this brilliant community and make a start.
I'm currently helping to disrupt the world of messaging at matrix.org, working on a React-based app Riot.
I'm very interested to know people's opinions so I'll be spamming #discuss with discussions on various things and hopefully commenting a lot there, too. Maybe I'll put up a guide on making a simple Matrix client at some point as well.
To those joining, welcome. To those already joined, hello! :)

Hello! I'm Dinesh.
I've been following dev.to for at least one month now in Facebook and Twitter. The articles I find here are so much informative and enlightening, esp. the one on impostor syndrome. I am looking forward to participate in more discussions and share my thoughts too.
Good Day Everyone,
My name is Sriram Kota, i am a web and hybrid mobile app dev from Atlanta. I came across dev.to a few weeks ago and i am amazed by the amount of great content created every day.
The site seems to be super fast too. A couple of years ago i wrote a couple of articles for binpress and was told i can write in a fashion people understand. I always had this imposter syndrome that prevented me from moving ahead. I have come to the realization that while there are folks who know more than you, it is also true that there are people who are looking for guidance that perhaps i can provide
I recently started learning Elixir and am hoping to share what i learned and hopefully help others in their learning. I am excited to be a part of the community..
Cheers..
Hi Everyone, I am Paul. I work as an instructor for unesco, teaching over 400 people how to build mobile applicationsā using phonegap. I recently started developing with JavaScript and fell in love with React.js. Generally I've been in the tech world for 5 years now, fixing networks and configuring different Microsoft serverās for some organizations. I look forward to building a career as a software developer, hopefully I'd learn a thing and two from you guys.
Hello! I'm Apar.
I just got into web development specially with web applications based on javascript frameworks.
Hello everyone,
I finally decided to introduce myself.
I am a very passionate web developer (duh xD).
I can do full stack, I have worked with php and js for a bit under a year now (just changed jobs and am super excited to start afresh š¤£).
Other than that I have like 1 year prior exp of self-teaching myself stuff/self-studying/digging in/ making mistakes/learning =).
Major frameworks I touched/can use to a certain degree are:
Bk-end: Node/Express ,Laravel, Symfony4;
Client-side: Angular8 and React;
I used UI frameworks too such as bootstrap, materialize, etc...
I am into mobile development too (tinkered a bit with Ionic at some point). After I have built some decent stuff in terms of web apps, I would like to move to native mobile and game dev.
I am also into 3d graphics (blender any1?) and animation software (only played with MMD as I am also a vocaloid and anime/manga fan š¤£š¤£š¤£).
Nice to meet you all, I ve been following DEV for almost a year now, so I figured I'd 'come in and say hi'.
Thanks for having me around =).
Hi, I'm Stephen.
I do back-end development / dev-ops. I've been reading a lot of articles on dev.to and have been learning so much. One day I hope to work up the nerve to start writing a blog or write articles here about the things I've been learning in my day-to-day work to help give back. Just need to get over my case of impostor syndrome :P
Hello everyone! I'm Adnan.
I'm junior javascript developer š
I love angular and I'm using it since Ng 4
Now I'm working with ionic and it's really amazing.
I have a little experience with Android too!
I have BS Degree of Software Engineer.
I love this community it has a lot of fun and wonderful developers š.
Thank you all!.
Hey, I'm Paul.
I'm here to learn from other people's experiences and to learn to share my own.
Don't know about y'all, but I have a lot in my graveyard of draft blog posts/topics, software projects, and ideas.
How do you get past all of that to start completing some of them or even ignoring all of those to start from scratch?
Thank you :)
Hi everyone!
My name is Emily, and while I'm still a student, I'm always looking for ways to engage more with other devs especially in an open and collaborative space like this one :)
I'm interested in how to use technology for social good (I'm a program where I can make my own major āĀ it's called "Decolonial Computing" and centers CS, critical race theory, and feminist studies!). I also really love the intersection of technology and art, and am currently exploring that a little bit in my spare time. I hope to learn from seasoned software vets about their perspectives on the industry and its quirks!
As for projects, I've generally tried to stick to stuff that I think is fun and (hopefully!) useful. I'm particularly proud of this very basic webVR project, though it's got some kinks that still need to be worked out: em-fong.github.io/chill-out-aframe/
Thanks so much for letting me join this community! I've loved lurking The Practical Dev on Twitter, and I think it's finally time to get involved lol
Hi all, I'm Armin.
I'm a full-stack developer focused on .NET, Web and Mobile apps.

Excellent stuff, cheers!
Hello, I'm Mikael!
I am currently a product manager from Sweden at a small software development company. On the side I'm exploring what it is to be a fullstack developer because I think our current internal software is more or less junk.
Stay tuned, there might come a few posts about doing a medium/big project on my own!
Hi
I'm learning to code at this moment (C#, Java), so it will be great if someone could become some sort of consultant for me, as most tutorials cover only the basics and not the exact situations, or I'm just that badā¦
Hello! I'm Johnson.
I've always wanted to write articles on programming languages, Tech trends that i learn everyday, but i have always been held back by the fear of not knowing how to express myself so much as to impact knowledge i have acquired over the years. But seeing the impact done by Sarah Chima and other tech authors i am encouraged to want to help other developers learn new things and follow along as i learn new things too

Hello world my name is Nijeesh
I am currently doing my Undergraduate in Mechatronics Engineering in India. Currently looking for opportunities for work on a job or intern in a good company.
When i say i studied mechatronics engineering every one is like "if you studied mechanical engineering why you want to do an IT job ?" and i was like sorry you Heard me wrong " i said mechatronics engineering not mechanical " and they will answer " what is the difference ?"
So i have to explain to them the difference.
I decided to create a online presence so i can show people what i know and what i have been doing and share my experience with them and on the way learn many cool things.
This is my first article i have written in my entire life please take a look at it and i welcome any kind of suggestions : dev.to/nijeesh4all/why-learning-ja...
Hey all, I'm Nick from the North Side of Chicago (but I'm a huge White Sox fan, Whaaa). I'm currently studying to expand my knowledge of code, and update my current code skillset. My past Front End roles were mainly doing bug fixes for the terrible IE's: 6, 7, 8, and converting designs to pixel perfect design. I took a five year hiatus to focus on UI/UX work and icon design, but am looking to get back into development full time, or a hybrid type role at a smaller shop at the end of my studies (or now if you have a need).
If you need a design, icon or illustration, drop me a line!
Hello All, I'm Tony.
I'm a curious wanderer. I was, once upon a time, an anthropology major. After dropping out I purchased some old computers from the university surplus store and tinkered. I've worked as an artists assistant (framer, model, web developer), a coffee house owner (management, barista, sysadmin, web developer), a pipeliner (ditch digger, sandblaster, general labor, sysadmin), and an IBMer (Backup and Recovery Admin - Blues - TSM, BackupExec, NetBackup).
After almost 5 years at IBM my wife and I decided to sell our house, car, and most of our belongings to start wandering the planet. For almost a year before we left we studied programming/web development. I tinkered with python and PostgreSQL to automate some of my job at IBM and my wife learned HTML,CSS, and JavaScript.
We noticed some friends in need of a simplified process at their business to escape a cumbersome spreadsheet. We created a web app for them with Angular 1, NodeJS, and Postgres. Not long after completing that app my wife began to pick up some freelance work. This provided the confidence I needed to make the leap and leave IBM.
I then found Go and, after encountering some (re)deployment issues with the NodeJS app and my wife enjoying ReactJS, we decided to rewrite that first webapp. In the process of rewriting and deploying that app I was completely sold on Go. Upon completion of the rewrite in Go/React/Postgres and a lack of freelance work coming in, we found ourselves seduced by day trading. We have since recovered and are again building our development skills.
In my journey I have stumbled upon dev.to numerous times and have finally decided to join.
Hello, I'm Eliabe.
I'm relatively a new programmer. I program in Javascript and PHP mostly.
I've been working with web development for about 1 year and I love it. I have had some experiences with some desktop programming languages, but never gone too far. I first started as a front end in my current job, but now I do some server side work too.
I work in a startup, by the way, we create intelligent recomendations for e-commerce.
:D
Hello! I'm Lukaz.
I've been looking for ways to connect with the Dev world out there and this platform seems to offer that. I am venturing into Magento E-commerce Development and I would love to learn a lot from everyone.
I will also be writing about my Dev process to enlighten newbies like me.
Thanks.
Hello, i am Andrew and I new to programming/development, started trying out javascript recently and have had a big whirl with the whole js stuff, hopefully i would get better with javascript and the mean-stack. i am also open to learning from others, motivation from fellow devs as i see myself in an area without much developers surrounding me, i am also to mentorship and new opportunities to push me further.
Hey y'all, I'm Cameron.
I'm in the process of a career change, moving from a teacher into web development, and I just started reading this website about a month ago. I'm not sure how I didn't find it sooner.
I've tried my best to get a solid foundation of JS and CSS, and have also used jQuery, Express, React, as well as know how to set up simple databases with mySQL and MongoDB. I'm just now getting to the point where I can move on the more specific frameworks, which I'm excited about! It seems everyday there are more and more JS frameworks out their, so I'm ready to get out and play around with them. I'm here to just learn as much as possible.
Hello! I'm Tonux
I'm a software Engineer.
After my training I saw that in my country the computer trades are poorly perceived and we do not show visibility on our abilities and skills. We only know our skills if we are tested and this is still not the case. We need digital content and a lot of presence on the web. Sometimes we need testimonials, feedback, advice to have a vision closer to reality and what is happening in our environment. But Alas we turn the thumb for this information. So I'm here to share the little experience I have and also go to meet new people to discover their wonderful background and skills.
Hi I'm DouG,
I have been following dev.to on twitter for a while and enjoying the discussions and other messages by the dev.to community on there, so thought I would check out this website and decided to join.
I mainly do back-end development these days using SilverStripe (a PHP CMS framework) but still play around with JavaScript as I enjoy it. I am the creator of a couple of JavaScript libraries, most notably Winwheel.js which started out as a bit of fun experimenting with HTML canvas.
I'm always keen to learn new things, so the articles/posts on this site are of particular interest to me, as well as connecting with other people in the dev space to share ideas.
Greetings from New Zealand.
Cheers,
DouG.
Hello all, Iām sunny and I started writing HTML and css back in 2001 but stopped for a while. How I wish I would have continued! Currently Iāve been learning JS for over a year now and itās all slowly and surely coming together. Glad to see many like me with similar experiences.
Currently Iām an accountant so the math part of coding comes natural to me. I focus on US tax and youād be surprised at the many parallels I find in the US tax code and coding (who would have thunk it).
Hello! I'm Soumyajit
I am doing masters in computer science. I am from Delhi, the capital city of India. I have been working as a freelance dev for almost 2 years now and love to hack around with new tech in my free time. Love to use react, react native, graphql and node for my projects. Learning Go currently and reading up on blockchain stuff concurrently.
I am glad to join the community. Recently, I have been trying to contribute to open source projects and write about my learnings more and more. Wish me luck!
Thanks everyone!
Hello! I'm Dammy.
I've been reading Dev.to for a while now before i decided to join, i have really found a lot of courage in these lands (devtoville), which has really made the journey easier. I am into front-end dev for now, a beginner. The aim is to become full-stack and get a real dev job (before that). Happy to be here and to have the privilege to learn from the professionals on here. I also know some Python.
Hello! I'm Jason, a front-end programmer from China.
I want to live and work in Singapore. Could anyone pls give me some advice about passing the interview and choosing companies? Really appreciate.
Hello everybody, I am Vipul.
I am here to enhance my knowledge of web development and most surely share my experience(however small it is) with all of you, and we will learn along the journey.
I am here to see the excitement and amazement that I feel while programming in others and learn from everybody else's experience and knowledge.
I guess I would do good here.
Thanks.
Hey there, I'm a Python developer with ambitions to become a quality machine learning engineer. Currently, I'm undergoing my bachelors in communication and computer engineering.

Hi all - Tamas here, Developer Evangelist, Technical Instructor and Google Dev Expert in Web Technologies. I registered on this site aaaages ago, but never got to write a welcome post but here we go! I have been blogging for a long time now and I can't wait to share some of my articles with you whilst reading what you are up to as well! Cheers.
Hi guys,
Vikram here. I've been programming for around 6+ years now ( college time scripting included ). Currently, working as technical project lead in India.
Areas where I've made most mistakes ( read - have the most experience ) in :
. PHP web services
. Golang web services
. Shell scripts
. Javascript web services
. MySQL and MongoDB storage and queries
. Java programs ...
I believe the process of learning, improving and innovating is at the core of all software technology.
Here to learn, and share my knowledge with the global development community.
Peace out :)
Hello! I'm Chuks.
Basically, I'm here to hopefully write technical articles and read a lot of awesome ones. I don't really write a lot because I'm super good at procrastination and most times, I feel like I'll be writing about what someone else has already written about.
Hopefully, this is the first step to breaking that jinx!
Cheers!
Hello, I'm Chidindu.
I have a project in mind, I would like to embark on - A machine learning project. I am postponing starting this project because I feel there's a level of knowledge i have to acquire before I can begin writing anything related to Artificial Intelligence, since I started programming this year January. Is that a healthy thought?

Hi all, I'm Nicole.
I'm an attorney by training and now working towards becoming a competent self-taught programmer/developer. I hope to make use of the legal and tech skills at some point going forward, but for the present I am enamored with the unique and ubiquitous ways software development, programming, and technology shape just about every aspect of our lives. I want to be a part of that!
I look forward to being a part of this community and learning from all of youo. "The more, the merrier", they say. And just as true, "diverse groups lead to diverse solutions"!
