Hiya, I've been on DEV for about half a year (when I started working at Forem).

I'm seeing a place where folks are looking for long-form conversations regarding all the aspects of technology; it's so very uplifting.

Right now I'm learning more and more various refactoring strategies to keep shipping code to production.

A fun fact about myself? Back in 1998, at my first programming job, the majority of programmers were women. And the system that the team had designed and implemented remains a marvel and wonder that shapes how I approach software.

Hello everyone - this looked like a really cool site to learn more and see other suggestions on things I'm learning/refreshing myself on. Currently rebuilding a web development program to fit more like a full-stack developer.

Looking forward to seeing what others have to share!

Hey all! Just joined Dev and I'm super excited I found it. I love being in a community that shares, teaches and uplifts and so far I've only seen good things.

I'm a beginner programmer currently learning Python for network automation which directly correlates with my career as a network engineer/general IT guy and C# to aid me in doing some game development for my own curiosity.

A bit of background about me. Dad, Husband, USMC Vet. I did nine years in the Marines as a IT guy, I did Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, Wushu, and Chinese wrestling for about 7-8 years and I'm as much into fitness and nutrition as I am technology!

Please feel free to message me to talk shop or even game.

Glad to be here :)

Hey everyone! Been reading the occasional post from here but I finally decided to start sharing my journey in tech as I can finally offer something back to people. I'm currently in my industrial placement year at university and before that I was working part time at a student startup which I'll be coming back to in my final year in September.

I look forward to sharing some insight into my student journey but most importantly I want to connect with some awesome people on this site to share thoughts and opinions on a variety of web technologies!

Hi everyone 👋

I'm Hakan, a frontend developer from Istanbul. Really glad to be part of this awesome community! I studied English Language Teaching (ELT) at university. Meanwhile, I taught myself how to code and then started making websites for people.

Fast forward today, I'm currently doing a personal challenge in which I focus full-time on creating website templates using HTML & CSS & JavaScript and sell them online 😄 I hope to bring the unique perspective that I gained throughout my self-taught journey and share what I know/learned about all-things frontend.

Nice to meet you all, take care!
