Welcome to dev.to! I'm currently learning more about GatsbyJS and static sites in general. They have great documentation, and make it easy to learn.
Hi Andy! π I'm currently learning about Web Development in general. I'm curious to hear what makes you interested in learning about static sites in general, mainly because I never even thought about it when planning my learning.
Hey Leslie! Sorry just seeing this now. I'm started to make basic websites for people, and so far static sites seem to be a good pathway of quickly creating portfolio or basic websites. With Gatsby in particular, I wanted to level up my React skills and get up and running quickly.
If you're learning more about web development, I think it's always good to have a solid foundation of how HTML and CSS work. Personally I learned Ruby, then Rails, then Javascript, and then finally more about HTML and CSS (which is now), and I wish I had learned more HTML and CSS to start with.
Hi Andy, thanks for the helpful advice!
Hi, what made you choose rails in the beginning?
Do you still use it. I am asking because I learnt it but these days I always reach for other tools.
Cool, I just created a personal blog with Gatsby and was super impressed by it. A really cool project indeed.
Welcome!
Welcome, I can't wait to meet one of your robots :)

Hi! My name is Kelsey, am from Nigeria. Currently learning Advance php.
Hi. I'm full stack developer with almost 20 years experience planning to write few blog posts about Emacs and wanted to share them here too.

Hi all! Not really certain what to call myself, but for the moment, I guess I'm a UI Developer. I have a background in data manipulation and workflow automation, and I love all things JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I have also been known to dabble in Java, C#, and some other strongly typed languages.
My passion lies in crafting interfaces that allow users to navigate data intuitively but doing so in a way that is visually pleasing. There are few things more satisfying to me than efficiently breaking down a data-set into easily digestible chunks for the end user -- at least in the digital world!
I'm hoping to get a few posts up over the next few weeks, so until then!
Hi Connor! π
I'm definitely looking forward to your posts on crafting UI data dashboards! In fact, your post prompts me to start researching more on this topic.
Hi Connor! UI designer who can also write HTML, CSS, and Javascript? I was just talking to a recruiter the other day who said that more and more companies are looking for this kind of hybrid designer/developer, especially in the data science field. Programmers aren't exactly known for making state of the art interfaces π
Haha, ain't that the truth!
Now that we're starting to hand "big-data" back to the consumer, it's important to make sure that they can make sense of what they're seeing. Otherwise, is there really any benefit to giving it back?!
:)
Hello, I am a backend Java developer at HomeAdvisor. I work with my team on building Spring Boot microservices for the company. I am also a past QA Automation engineer at HomeAdvisor, where I helped develop several JavaScript-based internal frameworks and created automated tests for various teams.
If you need help on a project involving a backend or automated testing, I would be happy to help.
Hi all, I'm Antti - excited to join the community!
I'm working on more enterprisey technology most of the time, programming in C# or TypeScript and running in Office 365 or Azure. But I guess the world needs corporate coders as well, and despite the stack I don't work in a cubicle farm :)
I work for a Finnish Canadian software company as a software engineer and escalation engineer, and while most of my daily work life has been abstracted away from writing code myself, it's still a part of my life. Once a programmer, always a programmer, I guess!
I already posted kind of an introductory post, here:
dev.to/koskila/hi-i-m-new-here-32o3
Really looking forward to interacting with y'all!
Hi Antti! π I'm also new to the community!
I'm interested to hear how a typical working day in life sounds like. I guess being an undergrad, it didn't even occur to me that writing code would be abstracted away from a technical role.
That's why when you say the above, it really piqued my curiosity!
Hey Leslie - I like that question!
Unfortunately, it's more boring and less technical than one would probably think :) Instead of writing most of the code myself, I communicate with stakeholders, collaborate on specifications and basicly just update and prioritize the backlog for the dev team in co-operation with other product owners.
Luckily, even in enterprisey dev teams, usually you don't have to drop programming if you don't want to! It's a huge blessing that roles in IT are typically fairly flexible.
Thanks for sharing Antti! That provided me some insights π
Hey I see you have some experience with Azure! I am curious to know if you happen to know any good resources to get started in learning about Azure? :D Thank you!
Hey Bartholomew!
Yeah, I've got some :) The way I got started was that my employer pushed me there - or rather, the market pulled, and I was happy to jump in. Luckily, both Microsoft and many 3rd parties have tons of content available on getting you started - edX and Microsoft Learn are both generally speaking free, Pluralsight might be the best paid option for courses.
Check out these examples:
medium.com/microsoftazure/5-micros...
edx.org/course/getting-started-azu...
Depending on your previous experience, you might want to jump straight into development (App Service or Azure Functions, for example). You can sign up for a free dev subscription on Azure, free developer tenant on Office 365 (if that's the way you want to go) and tools like Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio Code are also freely available for learning purposes!
See for example:
azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/free/
The corporate world might be all about expensive licenses, but at least Microsoft makes most tools available for development and learning purposes for free :)
Have fun!
Thank you so much for the resources! I am excited just getting started with learning how Azure works! This will prove useful to me when I want to host my site using Azure :3. As far as experience I am a complete beginner in terms of Azure but I have played around with AWS a bit but never really set anything up to intensely but I wasn't as into it I was with Azure though.
My pleasure! Also, be aware that both performance and costwise some things are smart to host on Azure, some not - for example, a static site that's built from your source hosted on Azure DevOps or GitHub works well in a free/shared app service instance, a fancy modern webapp completely hosted on Azure Functions would be interesting and reasonably cost-effective, but hosting for example, a WordPress site is going to give you a questionable performance with above average cost, unless you spend a lot of time tweaking it... Been there, done that ;)
It's a rewarding journey, though - have fun!
Well luckily I am coding my entire website from scratch using React for the front end so I should be fine plus I heard Azure plays well with React and NodeJs so it should be easy to deploy it when the times comes π
With that stack, you should be good. Have fun coding and be sure to blog about your findings! π
Hi! My name is Siful. This is the first community Iβm joining and I hope to be active for a long time.

Hello I am a full stack developer and joined started my first job last week. I have developed a few applications during my college days, but I don't have any experience in working in a company. I am here to learn coding standards and best practices, keep me up-to-date with what's happening in the computer science industry and explore the massive world of programming languages.
New to dev.to... but not new to Ruby :-) Ruby programmer since 2000 and Rails since 2006.
Awesome to have another Rubyist π
Hello, I'm Piyush! I graduated in 2017 and I am working as a backend developer at an early stage startup for 2 years. I have been working on JAVA/dropwizard/PostgreSQL/AWS/ANTLR/Microservices. I want to get into HFT and would love to learn the tech-stack around it.
Recently, I was looking up for communication in Microservices and one thread about async rest calls vs MQ for microservice communication brought me here.
Havenβt done this yet. Hello, Iβm a Senior Data Analyst with Xero, currently making the move to management. Been writing for a few years now and Devto has been a really good experience in the short time Iβve been here. Been writing on Medium for over a year without much luck.
Iβm on the constant look out for people sharing how they work. Love stories about visual studio code and people sharing their tips and tricks.
