Hello! We use Markdown for writing comments and articles. See our editor guide here.
Also, it's freezing here in NYC, so I figured a friendly snowman would be nice. Not having to go out in the cold and working remote is great.
Hey! I'm Lama, and I'm a high school senior. I've been following dev.to's Twitter for a while and kept coming to read posts on the site, so I decided to sign up.
At the moment, I'm making my way through the front end dev certificate on freeCodeCamp, and beginning to learn Java.
Fun fact: I once sprained my ankle jumping off a bed.
Good luck learning! Stay away from beds.
Haha, believe me, I've learned my lesson.
Welcome Lama! Good luck in your journey. I think its amazing!
Thank you!
Hello.Good luck!!

Thank You, Ben
That's good, thanks for share !!
Hello! I'm Sara. I was a children's book editor for a long time but I've recently become a software developer. I came here because Vaidehi Joshi told me to! She said to follow her here on dev.to for her new video series on computer science, so that's what I'm doing.
Welcome Sara, awesome.
Hi! I'm Tom. I work at Twitter where I've been for over 4 years.
I do a few different things, but I tend to focus on making frontend and client engineers more productive by building tools and APIs or writing documentation. You could call it product infrastructure.
Right now I lead Twitter's GraphQL team and a bigger project called Private API, which is about improving how our apps — iOS, Android, Twitter Lite and TweetDeck — get their data.
I'm interested in using dev.to to help, guide, and learn from developers who have complex or novel problems to solve.
Welcome! Thanks for joining the community. I personally would love a post on writing good documentation, or a beginner's guide to writing a REST/GraphQL API. Or maybe you have some good posts/resources to share about those topics?
Hi Tom, looking forward to learn from/with you. Thank you for taking your time to share your knowlege & experiences with the community!
Thank you for being with us we are so glad to have someone like you
Hi. I'm working on improving my JS skills, and starting some various React tutorials-- with the goal of getting a front-end React job or project. On my list of work today is building an Airbnb clone with a few react components.
Getting a react gig is my goal too. Best of luck!
Hey guys, Jono here. I live in London. Stephanie Hulbert from Twitter brought me here and I'm glad to say hello!
I'm a lapsed game dev who found .NET and web dev gave me money.
I'm looking to get more involved in the dev community as well as into frontend and ruby and for real getting myself back into making games, especially with interesting AI.
Ruby is great! Not so sure about Ruby for games, though. There is a great book/ebook about writing really basic Ruby games: Learn Game Programming with Ruby by Mark Sobkowicz.
Yes, all these Pragmatic books are amazing! There is also a book from Tomas Varaneckas "Developing Games With Ruby - for those who code for living" which is pretty interesting.
Oh neat! Will have to check that book out. Thanks for sharing!
Ruby is just beautiful. Gosu works pretty well as long as you don't need too much speed and will certainly do for RPG and arcade games. Mostly anything you would do with Godot you can do with ruby and Gosu.
On the other hand, I really don't know about the new JIT Compiler in recent ruby versions (specially 2.7 and 3), but it seems that as long as you have some repetitive tasks, speed can be greatly improved, even more than using JRuby to compile it to Java code.
Keep us updated on your gamedev!
Best!
I used to be a traditional programmer (c++, java) and last year I decided to enhance my skills in webdev fullstk, AI and game dev, so now I am including python and javascript in my activities.
Hi Bruno, I would love to know about your thoughts and experience with the AI world.
Best wishes.
Hi Juan, I had some experience with FSM, computer vision (openCV), decision trees, find the path like algorithms, nowadays I am more curious about machine learning and NLP and their applications in games that are aware of the player physical location, social activity and interests :)
Hi everybody!
I'm Juan Pablo, a Colombian electronic engineer turned into a .Net developer a couple of years ago.
This place is awesome!!! I'm looking forward to sharing more time and knowledge with you guys and hopefully write some post too!
Best wishes,
