Hello community! I'm here to meet cool peeps, research interesting topics, and mix up the daily grind of job-seeking. Give me a holler if you want to talk anything game dev, web dev, React, C#, or movies. Also I can talk for hours about what makes a real Philly Cheesesteak.

I've explored a few different technologies and I feel like I am gravitating more towards MERN. I try to remain flexible and always learn new things though :D How about yourself?

Cool. So mostly js? Professionaly i work on a lot of wordpress stuff with html, css, js/react and php. But besides that i use whatever gets the job done! 😊 Are you a dev for a living yet? Or are you still learning?

Mostly js, yeah. I am currently applying for jobs because I am graduating very soon.

I have done a freelance job before and might do some more freelance for a bit to get by and learn more depending on how long the job search goes. Covid changed things up a bit, so I have to stay flexible.

Covid is making things a bit more difficult for sure. But who knows your freelance gig will be very succesfull, and you wont need to find a job. I did it for a couple of years myself, and it was a really nice way to make a living! 😊

Hi there! I'm Varun, a high school student with a great passion for computer science. I've been coding for 5 years now with React, Android, REST, HTML, CSS, and Node in my toolbox and I came to dev.to so I could start tech blogging. I'm excited to meet new people on here as well!

Welcome Varun,

You picked a great olace to start blogging! 😊 What are you planning to write about?

Varun S

Thank you! I think I'll start with writing about my experiences with coding projects, as I have no mentor and am self-taught (like lots of people). There's a lot of stuff that other people can do or not do that I didn't know, so that's what I hope to give from my blog posts.

Cool. I think lots of people are interested in that kind of posts. I wrote a post with my tips on learnig to code recently that quite a lot of people seem to like. So i’m curious about your writings! 😊

Hi everyone! I've finished coding bootcamp and got a few months experience under my belt but you're going to find me lurking on the #React and #UX boards. If anyone knows of any good sources to learn more about UX please let me know! Thanks :)

Hi everyone 👋 ! I'm Alex(andre), a full-stack developer from France, living in Prague, CZ, self-taught, and found of all things React, Node/JS, TS and GraphQL.

I usually speak at conferences, although now is quite a bad time for it so I'm trying to share knowledge with articles instead. 😊

As a formal linguist, it won't come as a surprise that I'm quite interested in the lexical/syntactical part of JS as a language.
Outside of work, I like to hack with Rust, Elixir and ReasonML.

Looking forward to meet new fellow devs with similar interests! 👋

Hey! I am a recent Information Systems graduate with a background in social media marketing, growth, UI/UX, and product design. I always thought coding was something I could never learn because it seems like rocket science, but I am finally jumping in. I am working on a project for iOS. I have been told to look into learning React Native and Expo to get started.

Project: Habit Sharing App with Social Features

Example: habitshareapp.com/

If there are any iOS Developers (React Native, Swift) here with experience, it would be awesome if you could give me some advice on how to begin/guide me to some of the best resources to begin learning this skillset.

create + evolve.

Howdy! I've heard that this is a good place for folks who enjoy making neat programs and sharing that around, so I wanted to see what folks are making and share my own projects. I dig talking about programming architecture and design, so hit me up if that's on your plate! (She/her)
I'm also angling towards self-employed programming as a career, so if you were wanting to make something and my stuff seems up your alley then feel free to reach out about that too!
