Hello :) I have a degree in philosophy and always considered myself rather right-brained, but a few months ago I lost my job (thank you, corona v.)... Making (not so) long story short, for now, I'm totally into web development and UI. I love to learn new things and to make my code work as intended. Life can be very surprising :)
So here I am - a bookworm who loves to draw animals - digging deeper into front-end world, hoping to find a job in IT and meet some nice people.

[Juan F Gonzalez]

I'm kind of a bookworm myself also so welcome to the dev club!

[Elias Groll]

Hi I am Elias :) I am on dev.to since some days.
I am a former Google Engineer and want to improve my technical writing as well as keep up to date with new tech.

I write about how I got into Google, what Codesphere (why I left Google) does, tech (highly opinonated lol) and whatever stupid idea comes to my mind :)

Looking forward to get to know you all :)

[Ben Tyler]

Likewise am hoping to improve my technical writing. Excited to take a look at your writing!

[Faith]

Hello

[itzsrikanth]

Hello Elias. You have an exciting profile. Will read your posts and come back ;-)

[Elias Groll]

Awesome :) What is div ops?

[itzsrikanth]

I recently came across this term on Twitter, a frontend who manages dev-ops as well :-P

[Elias Groll]

Only for frontend like with Netlify/Vercel? Or all dev ops?

[itzsrikanth]

Yeah, mainly for frontend and other overlapping components like MySQL for Wordpress etc.

[Elias Groll]

awesome :)

Hello I'm Nanji, completely new in Web Development With no background in Web Dev. I am changing from IT support to Front/Backend + UX design field, currently learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, I have joined to learn from and meet the DEV's to connect with.

[arvindsridharan]

We both can learn Web development together. I am currently learning HTML , CSS and Php. Let me know which task you will be working on so that I can also try.

[NP558565]

Hello,
Nice to hear from you, just over a week ago-I have just started an online Web Development boot camp course, am on the HTML+CSS path currently, and enjoying the course. Agree that we should learn together.
Where are you located?
Are you self-Learning Web Dev?

[arvindsridharan]

Yes, I am self learning. Would be great if you can share some notes and exercises you are working on.

[Mary]

Hi Nanji, I'm in the same boat as you! I have an IT degree and have worked in IT Support for 2 years but I'm switching to Frontend development! I'm currently making my portfolio website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

[NP558565]

Hello, Nice to hear from you, I worked in IT support for almost 5 years, last year was made redundant, and decided to switch to Web Dev am currently learning HTML and CSS, do you have a learning / study plan?, also please share as also would like to make my Portfolio website, I googled to search for mentorship and Web Dev boot camp course/s - but to costly, hence I Joined DEV.IO hoping to learn as much as possible.

[Mary]

I recommend MDN Web Docs for a structured learning plan on Web development. It's sooo useful and it's free! It gives you a basic fundamental understanding of the web and it goes into detail so you can understand everything.
For my portfolio I decided to make it from scratch (without using WordPress, Wix..etc) found these articles helpful:

• 12 Things Web Developers Must Include in Their Portfolios
• For Inspiration

Tools I used:

• Adobe XD (for Web design)
• VS Code (text editor)
• Git (used Github Pages to host my website)

I believe that you don't need to pay for bootcamps to learn Web Development. All if not most resources are already free available online.
I hope that helps and feel free to ask more questions and i'll try my best to answer.

[NP558565]

Perfect - Many thanks

[bleen]

Hey Nanji, I'm also kind of where you are. I'm trying to focus on making some projects that are html, css+ js based.

[PotentialStyx]

Hi I'm PotentialStyx, I've been on dev.to for a few weeks. And have made a few posts.

I plan to post more and more often.

I use python a lot, and am trying to improve my web dev.

[Bernard Baker]

Hi, welcome to Dev.to 👏

If you plan to improve you're in the right place. Be inspired by the articles you'll browse and read to your endless delight.

[PotentialStyx]

I'm also planing to try to learn some new concepts I haven't heard about before. Also I have a long reading list :)

[Bernard Baker]

Don't rack up too many open tabs.lol

[PotentialStyx]

Ehhh, I can just read one at a time. Not spam tabs lmao

Hi everyone,

My story ain’t new. Lost my job during Covid-19. Felt depressed and all. Then I decided to try out something new. Started learning coding first via YouTube, then later I got a tutor. I’m still learning Front-end. I hope to utilize this skill and become a great web developer and tech giant someday.

[Gracie Gregory (she/her)]

Welcome! This community is here to help!

[bleen]

Oh man, I know how you feel. I'm trying to learn front-end skills too to also get a valueable job soon enough :(

[Odioko keno]

We all gonna make it dear

[Pablo Hernández Castillo]

Hi everyone! I recently discover this site and I love the community and the different post. But in was thinking about what I can post or about the topics that I can post. I hope find anything to share with you. 😁

[Arik]

What about sharing your personal journey to programming?

[Juan F Gonzalez]

There's a whole host of topics you can write about. Even if you think you're not "experienced" enough, I'm sure others will find your input on a topic interesting.
