surround myself

I think immersion is one of the less understood elements of life-long learning. You can't really learn in the right ways just by popping some books or courses. You need to surround yourself.

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the dev.to-community!

I'm Martin, I was a Senior Front End Architect / Manager at one of the world's largest interactive agencies, leading Front End Teams for international accounts. In 2018 I quit and now I'm traveling the world as a professional scuba diver and fully remote Senior Front End Architect / Front End Tech Lead for various international clients.

On dev.to I write mostly about modern Front End Development with react.js and next.js, other topics are design and pure code. I love handcrafted CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. However, a proper framework or library is essential for modern Front End Development.

Currently, I'm publishing the weekly "WebDevDigest: A curated list of the top five web development must-reads from last week" and a library of JavaScript functions in 1 line of code which you can also find on npmjs: onelinecode and GitHub: onelinecode.

If I have enough time, I write more in-depth articles about next.js + TypeScript, for example how to create multi-language pages with next export which is on GitHub:next-export-i18n and npmjs: next-export-i18n


I recommend following the general tags webdev, vscode , career and productivity and javascript, react, CSS. Head over to your Dashboard and adjust the tag weight for to personalize your home feed.


Here's a list of articles to start your journey as an successful developer and a great writer:


If you are looking for your next job, I highly recommend to buy the Book De-Coding the Technical Interview Process by Emma Bostian. It is hands down the best preparation for every technical interview.


If you're interested in my articles, follow me on dev.to/martinkr or twitter.com/_martinkr.

In case you have questions or want to get in touch, feel free to contact me on dev.to/martinkr.

And don't forget to start posting today!

Cheers!

Hi! I started my journey into programming with The Odin Project as well and it was definitely a great first step for me on this wild, but rewarding journey. Wishing you the best of luck and feel free to ask me questions if you have any. I love helping out newbies (especially because it wasn't that long ago I was that newbie myself!).

You surely will find something to begin with! Try to focus on a programming language to get a good idea of how it works in general and continue with other technologies, which fit well. Like JavaScript is good with HTML or C# with XAML maybe.
Later it will be easier to learn other programming languages or technologies. Also other people with some experience will be able to suggest nice articles, I guess.

I'm on the same boat. After watching some videos and reading a few articles, I've decided to take the plunge into JavaScript with CSS and HTML. I've just started and can't do much yet, but it's been fun. Whatever path you choose, I wish you good luck. :)
