Hello! I am hoping to chat with other devs and learn more about coding in general, and javascript in particular. I will also be using this site as an extension of my upcoming blog where I write about the things I learn.

Hi Jim I am a new Biee here, I would like to learn Javascript. I found it challenging doing it alone. HTML and CSS was not that challenging. Hope you will help me out with that what you know now.

Right now I'm just polishing my JavaScript knowledge and doing some Python lessons along the way. Overall, I've been doing JavaScript for about 5 years now.

How about yourself?

Yeah, I have a bit of a portfolio up. For all of the time I've spent studying, I really don't have a lot on it. After my bootcamp, I did a lot of self-teaching and didn't follow-through on adding to my portfolio. I'm certain that's a large part. Also, I haven't really been serious about it. Like you said in your other comment, I still don't feel job-ready.

I went through Thinkful for a little bit, but it didn't really work for me. It's been a few years and I'm still looking for that first job. ๐Ÿ˜•

How was your experience? Were you able to find work?

im about to finish the boot camp and get my certificate in 2 weeks. then i'll really start job searching. personally i dont feel ready, in the sense that i still have to polish projects and make some new ones and add them to a portfolio. but the lambda experience was amazing. very resourceful and they really prepare you for your first job. they take time to help with your resume and have a bunch of instruction on the entire interview process and stuff. you should look it up maybe

Hello everyone! I'm a front-end web dev from Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น
I've landed here to share my passion with all of you and learn new things.

Fun fact: my passion for coding started when I was a kid and my dad teached me only how to make an app echo out "Pippo" (aka. Goofy). I was like: and now what? This is it? So... I was so pumped that I kept researching and experimenting and now I've made of my passion a career ๐Ÿ’š

Yo! I just recently joined, and I love the community here! Knowledge is so openly shared and I love to see all the cool things developers create!
As for me, Iโ€™m a Computer Science student currently in my junior year. After experience with many different languages and frameworks, I am most interested in web development! Iโ€™m mainly React-focused, but I do want to learn other web/JS frameworks like Vue and Electron!

Hey there, hailing from Vienna, Austria. I'm a seasoned full stack web developer as well as CEO/CTO of a digital agency. My stack is Laravel + Vue mostly, but I've also done a lot of stuff (solo and with my team) with tech like nodeJS, meteor, react and various CMS like Drupal, WordPress or TYPO3 just to name a few.

I'm also a startup enthusiast and founder and always on the lookout for new projects and collaborations.
