Hey everyone! How's it going? My name is Carlos and I'm from La Paz, Bolivia. I'm currently out and about, traveling whenever I can, but always with my trusty laptop by my side.
Now, I know what you're thinking - "Carlos, what do you do for work?" Well, I'm a programmer and I love to work with a language called Scala. But don't worry, I'm not here to bore you with technical jargon.
In fact, speaking of programming languages, have you guys heard of functional programming? It's like regular programming, but you spend half your time writing the code and two times more to understand it a few months later. (Just kidding, functional programming is actually pretty cool.)
Anyway, it's great to be here with you all and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone a bit better. Let's have some fun and learn some new things together!
Hey!! Welcome to DEV!!
Thanks so much Devarshi
Welcome Bro
Welcome to DEV!
Thanks Chris!
First of all, welcome to Dev, secondly, functional programming seems interesting, though I always backed out at Monads and understanding "pure-ness".
Nice to meet you Carlos. 😁
Thanks Masashi 😄 , well functional programming is like following a recipe. You put in all the ingredients, follow the steps, and get the same result every time. But mutability is like cooking with your grandma - you never know what you're going to get, and sometimes it's just because she put a little extra love in the process and love is hard to measure haha, have a nice day
Hi Carlos.
I've started to lean more towards functional programming, though my languages are C# and Javascript, rather than Scala. I never understood my functional programming lecturers, but lately I appreciate pure functions for their portability, debugability, and testability.
Hi Anthony, learning functional programming in a classroom can be tough – it's like trying to learn to dance the tango in a small room filled with chairs. It requires a different way of thinking and its syntax can seem like a foreign language. Scala is a good starting point, it's a hybrid language that combines functional programming with imperative and object-oriented programming, making it more accessible for those used to writing imperative code. I really like Alvin Alexander, is an author I truly will suggest you to also take a look if you are interested in some of the good practices alvinalexander.com/scala/learn-fun...
Welcome to DEV!! :)
thanks Felipe!
So freaking cool, i dream of having a work like yours when i am done with the study:)
Hi Almir for sure you will!, hope to see you sharing some work too
Welcome Carlos!

yes,how are you today?
Hello and welcome to news members on DEV 🔥😎
Hey thanks !
My name is Timothy. I am a Nigerian and I live in Nigeria. I love the software world an dthe mystery behind. Two months ago I enrolled for a Software Engineering program. Things started out fine and looked good, until I came in contact with C programing. At the moment I am lost at Sea(C). I have come here in search of guidance and tutoring cos there's no going back on this. I must thrive in it. I am looking forward to getting all the help I can and have a victory story to tell. Thank you.
Hi Timothy. That is a clever pun! I like.
You know what they say: ascii silly question, get a silly ansi 😁 (another joke!)
I recently bought a copy of The C Programming Language (2E), it's a good read that teaches C syntax and standard library, through complete example programs. Perhaps you already have it, but is worth mentioning any way. It can be difficult to find a copy, so consider second hand copies, or the ebook version, if you have trouble finding it.

Thank you, Wes.
Hello guys ! My name is Girolamo and i'm an Italian web developer. I'm so excited to be part of this large community. Just like @krlz i'm a big fan of functional programming, i use it in React and also in PHP! I spend all my free-time developing a small (but fast and easy to use) PHP framework for build API Rest, his name is Micron. So, Micron is based on functional programming, i think this is the future! I hope to become one of the greatest innovator in web developing world... but this goal seems too far! Have a nice day to everyone!
welcome Girolamo, hope to see your work and articles on what you are working on! have a great day!
Thank you @krlz !

HI all! My name is Slava Rozhnev. I'm backend developer and DBA. Also I work for my pet projects PHPize.online & SQLize.online In few words this is online fiddles for PHP and SQL together. You can read about in my articles here on DEV.to
Great to have you! If you see any posts you find valuable, you should follow the author! It’s the best way to make the most of DEV 🙂
Hi everyone, glad to be here. I'm a new member, though I've been over here reading a lot of posts and news since long time ago.
I'm currently working (6+ years) in a big project where I've been since the very first line of code. We developed a Point of Sale for fuel service stations which runs entirely as a web application (Angular 2+), with DotNet WebApi as a backend (running locally and in the cloud), and SignalR for real time communication.
We integrate our Point of Sale with several types of devices, from Forecourt Device Controllers to any type of Payment Terminals.
I love coding and architecting.
I'm interested in almost every technology, but specially in Angular /typescript, dotnet (in all its flavors), the cloud in general terms, containers, devops, with special mention to Azure and Firebase.
Happy to be here to learn and help.
David.
