Hi all. My name is Franco and I'm from Italy. I love coding, and not by chance I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. My biggest passion is web development. I love HTML, CSS, JavaScript and web performance. Every time I build something for the web I ask myself: «How can I made it better and faster?».
Hey Franco Nice to meet you, I am new here and was just noticing that you had a CS degree. I am in the process of getting my CS degree but I am just starting out so I am really new to things, unfortunately. If you don't mind me asking, do you think the degree has helped your success in the industry a lot or not so much?
Hi Ryan, nice to meet you! Getting the degree has helped me a lot, since I was able to learn very difficult things that are fundamental for the field of CS. If you have any other question doesn't hesitate to ask!
Welcome!
Thanks Jesse, looking forward to meeting people.
Some days ago I published an article that try to answer the question if it does make sense to take a degree in a Computer Science major. I wrote down my experience and points of view. Ryan, I warmly invite you to read it! francoscarpa.com/articles/degree/
Hi all! At this point, I might have already bored everyone hehehe. As many of devs here, I am going through an intense learning process.
I am 31 years old and decided to give up my job to really focus on conversion and become a front-end developer asap.
I am not quite sure how I came across Dev.to but I know I just fell in love of it. I felt like this was the right social network to be. Since it is not just for questions nor to show off projects or look for a job like Linkedin. It feels like a secure place to learn and share within the developer's community. A really nice and welcoming place. Thank you :D
Hi Nadine, I am new to the community and I just wanted to say I can fully relate to the struggle and how difficult it can be to learn new concepts and ideas. I am 37 myself and after 20 years of house, painting decided I wanted to go to school and pursue my original adolescent passion, computers. So just wanted to say I can relate and wanted to say thanks for sharing.
It is so brave to take this decision after so many years focused in a profession! Congratulations for taking the step forward. I am here to cheer you up too hehe
Welcome, Nadine! Your commitment is inspiring, and I can't wait to see where it takes you!
Also, I've been meaning to ask you about the hashtag in your Twitter bio, #CodeGrils. 😄
Grills have the right to code too! If they had hands... Hahahhaa
I will correct it right away thank you!
I didn't want to mention it here for everyone to see, but you can't have DMs open because so many people on the internet are nitwits. It's the second time I've had to face this conundrum in a week's time. I suppose there could be worse problems to have!
Hey all,
My academic background is electrical engineering and software development. My passions are empowering people through technology. I live in Senegal, West Africa, where I work to foster entrepreneurialism among underemployed youth.
I am also a C# enthusiast. As a side hustle, I am working on developing a curriculum to teach computer programming here in Senegal. My friends here have a lot of great ideas, and I am hoping this curriculum will empower them to bring their ideas to fruition.
If you are interested, I regularly write C# tutorials at wellsb.com. You can also follow me on Twitter @bradwellsb
Great to have you!
Glad to have you here, Bradley. Feel free to get involved in C# articles on the site and share your knowledge with the community.
Hi Bradley,
Great to see a fellow EE here! I am inspired to learn more about your venture. All the best.

Total newbie here. Actually found this site thanks to the google app in the pixel launcher. Pointed me to an article and here I am. I'm looking to transition into a career in web design.
Hi there! Nice to hear you are also in a career transition. I am going through the same :D
It's refreshing to hear I'm not alone in that! From the looks of it you've made a lot of progress in a little time. Which gives me hope.
Sure! If you put time in it, you will improve super fast. However your perception won't be that hahaha
You came to the right place! Folks are generally super friendly and there's lots of beginner-friendly content as well!
Welcome to DEV. We have a lot of resources and articles on web design available, so I hope you find everything you're looking for.
Hiya all! I’m Alain from Italy. I’m a proud dad and guitar player that become a dev because of a C64. Currently I’m in Sheffield - UK working as a web team leader at TheFloow. I’m still eager to learn new stuff and to give back to dev community what I received during all these years.
A fellow guitar player, nice! 🎸
What type of music you like playing?
I'm so bad at replying to comments... anyway mostly blues and rock-blues
Same here music-wise! Blues is the way to go. 😎
I brought here just a couple of my guitars, an 82 Made in Japan Fender Strat and a Yamaha APX 6.
OOooo nice guitar selection there! I mostly play my acoustic electric (a Washburn) right now and sing a lot.
In fact, my band just recently posted a video of us from our first show if ya are interested. I don't play my guitar that much in this one, haha, but our lead guitarist is awesome!
Hi, I'm Emma!
I currently work full-time as a front-end dev. I'm here to learn new things and improve my blogging skills.
I also have created a habit tracking Trello Power-Up called Streak - if you have any feature suggestions/critiques please let me know!
Hi! I'm here to also improve my blogging skills so hopefully we'll both be experts by the end of the year 💪
I took a look at Streak and it looks awesome 🎉 I've always been fascinated about using things like Trello instead of classic full-blown apps, and this is a really neat application of that idea!
Welcome!
Feel free to make a #showdev post about Streak 😊
Thanks Ben! Finally got around to it: dev.to/emma/streak-habit-tracker-f...
Hey everyone! My name is Skye, and I'm an upcoming junior in college studying Computer Science. This summer I have a web development internship with a local tech company that is challenging and improving my skills every day! I'm here because I see a lot of DEV.to articles on my twitter feed and decided to join the community!
Good luck with your internship! Don't be shy about using the #help tag to seek answers from the community if you're stuck on anything.
Thanks! This seems like a great community to be a part of so I definitely will use it to my advantage.
Welcome to the community! Would love to hear from you how the internship went. Maybe an article idea for later 🙂
It's going great right now! Maybe I will write about it at some point...
Hi All, My name is Chetan and I'm from sunny California
I'm an engineer turned company operations guy and I started Macrometa 2 years back with my cofounder Durga Gokina to create a new geo-distributed cloud that runs your apps and data across a network of data centers closer to your end users. So instead of your App or API having a single lonely backend thousands of miles and hundreds of milliseconds away from your clients, browsers, and devices, our cloud puts the database and server-side code 10-20 milliseconds away by distributing, synchronizing and orchestrating your data worldwide.
Macrometa is a CRDT database - it uses some new database techniques like Conflict Free Replicated Data Types, logical time keeping and Convergence (instead of consensus) to help provide strong consistency gaurnatees across very large network distances and latencies. It allows you to have local read write latencies - yet synchronizes accurately and deterministically.
Learn more at macrometa.co/macrometa-in-2
Welcome!
Macrometa is fascinating, I'll admit to not even realizing such a set-up is possible. Look forward to learning more, and welcome!
Thanks Peter for the warm words - I appreciate it.
If you have interest in some code - here's a repl of doing some things like creating a DB that runs across LA, Virginia, Frankfurt and Mumbai India
the code does some inserting and querying. There is a geo loadbalancer in front of this makes sure you are routed to the closest database location based on where you are making the request from.

Let me know if you have any questions of feedback
Hey everyone,
My name's Josh and I just landed a frontend developer job a couple months ago at an advertising agency.
I'm solid in HTML and CSS, but my JavaScript is lacking, knowing only enough to make simple web animations.
My skills are good enough for my job, but I want to keep learning more technologies (I think my next step is learning React?) so that I can become a better developer and contribute more to this company or another in the future.
Been a lurker for a while, but decided to finally join this great community.
Cheers!
Very happy to have you here.
This is an admirable goal and attitude. Look forward to seeing you around the site.
Same! I lurked for a month or two before posting. Welcome to DEV!
Great to have you Josh!
Hi! My name is Sajjad, I'm from Iran. I enjoy coding and theory, and I love free software. I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and I'm starting a Master degree in the same field. I love hacking together chatbots and I've created a lot of them!
Very cool - welcome!
Show the community those chatbots!
They are in my native language (Farsi) and are published on Telegram, where would it be appropriate to share them?
Maybe share some info about the making of, to help others make?
Sounds great, I'll get to it once I found my way around
Hey Everyone. My name is Meryem and i'm from Morocco. I was studying Chemistry in university but after 3 years of starting it i decided to change career and do what i actually like which is coding. I started on FreeCodeCamp and that was the point where i was 100% sure about coding. I never thought that i can make a project even if it's just a simple Tribute page , but i did it and after that i felt like i can literally do anything i want to. Now i'm focusing on CSS3 and want to master it.
I'm Happy to join you all here and excited to share and get ideas and thoughts with each others. ^
I’m sure you’ll master it soon enough, welcome to the community Meryem!
Thank you Ben :)
Welcome! CSS is fun! It's great seeing what people can make with just CSS.
hi friends! i'm ariel, working as a "full-stack" (but primarily focused on back-end and sql) developer at a startup in orlando for just under two years. i worked for nearly a decade in hospitality (bs in hospitality management from ucf), before finally realizing that my mom (software engineer at boeing) was correct - my brain was made to write code. so here i am. looking to have interesting conversations and learn a bit, too. ✌🏼
Welcome Ariel!
I hope you'll have a great time here, you'll find plenty of content and a lot of interesting discussions. May I suggest that you browse around the discuss tag if you haven't already?
Awesome! How did you end up learning to code?
i'd been dabbling for many years, but ultimately attended a 6 week coding bootcamp to really dig in and learn enough to confidently apply for jobs and build fully functional web apps. best decision i've ever made!
you'll fit in well here
Hi dev community, I'm Ben and I've been (see how that works?) a full LAMP stack developer since 2003. I'm learning Angular right now simply because I like it, the best way to learn is to read and write tutorials, so I just posted a couple and I'm reading more here.
Welcome, Ben! To steal a lame joke, it's always great to have more Bengineers in the community!
Heya! What's it like to still do PHP? I understand the ecosystem has changed quite a bit, there's got to be a lot of stories to tell
Well, mainly we do one of two things now, that is CMS's (WordPress is 40% of the internet, but isn't my "thing", but I have done Drupal, which is 4%) or write REST API's like everyone else (on the PHP side of things) with JavaScript frameworks to consume them on the front end. PHP still makes up around 70-80% of the internet, so there's a lot of us "still" doing it.
Hi all! My name is Peter and I'm from South Korea, Texas, and Illinois. I studied Economics at Yale and will be working in consulting in Washington, D.C. come this fall. I am excited about web development and data science, particularly in its applications for government tech! I love Ruby (and bare with Python)!
I want to build things that give more power to more people!
Yes! We are open-source and are definitely excited about finding ways to give power to the people. You might enjoy this post from yesterday.

Hi, I'm Alli and I've seen so many good things come out of this community on twitter, I finally decided to join. I have a degree in English but fell into web development many years ago and have yet to find a better career option. I love JavaScript but have recently started digging into some new languages, namely Java and Python. At the same time!
Fellow English major checking in! 🙌
Welcome!
Did you ever work in a non-technical role or did you go straight from English major -> professional web developer?!
My career history is far from usual. Maybe that would make for a good first post.
Hi everyone. I am Tercio and I'm from Brazil.
It is great to be here. Despite the almost 10 years working as developer, I feel as a beginner: with a lot of things to learn.
I hope learn with all you. Tnks!
Loving open source, low level tech (raspberry pi), lean tech (JavaScript) but better: combining them. Currently I'm working on building a CMS using JavaScript tech only: DHTMLX, Node and MongoDB, running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+... just because I can

Hi community :) My name is Belgutei.I am from Mongolia.I've studied (2009)6 years ago Information technology which was not interested at all in that time, later on(currently) (little bit late) realized that i'd love to learn languages. I started from HTML, CSS and bit of JS. Searching and reading almost everyday articles to becoming frontend or fullstack path and decided to contribute my time and passion to coding.
Welcome Belgutei, thanks for joining!
Perth dotnet developer here. I dig holes for a living, using a text editor.
Passionate about unit testing because it's the only real way I have of knowing the stuff I wrote still works.
I run Perth Open Source Hackers (POSH) which is a once a month hack afternoon at our local maker space, The Perth Artifactory.
Lovely to have found this place, it looks like where my ppl hang out.
This reminds me of my favorite poem: Digging by Seamus Heaney
Welcome!
Great poem!
Thanks for the welcome. :)
G'day all.
I'm Søren from Denmark, a Nerd By Nature, a #groovylang lover and the founder of the All Things Groovy conference: GR8Conf (gr8conf.eu)
I'm pretty passioned about technology, and spend way too much time in front of my computer. While not sitting in front of it, I do enjoy walking in our beautiful country side, or rowing a kayak.
I love that you ended with rowing a kayak. I'm right there with ya on that one! 🛶
Looks like GR8Conf just wrapped up recently. How'd it go this year?
We had a blast of an event. Nothing but positive feedback. I just wish that there would be more attendees. I'm struggling to find the recipie to attract a larger crowd.
There are a few conference organizers here in the community. It would be awesome to continue sharing knowledge about how to plan and run awesome conferences. Welcome!
I'd be happy to share what I know. I'm "just" a developer who ended up doing a series of conferences (11 so far) on All Things Groovy
Hello. My name is Rashad. What brought me here is that I feel I needed a place to be able to let my thoughts out on the process of becoming better at IT. I have a passion for Cyber Security and I hope to be able to get into the field by early next year after getting my Security + Comptia cert this year (hopefully).
Hey Rashad, welcome to the community!
Cyber security is an interesting topic and you are very welcome to post articles about it on DEV as you progress 😊

Hi All - My name is Durga and from Bay Area, California. I came across Dev recently. My background is primarily in distributed systems like geo-distributed databases and streams. My interests are mostly to do with building stuff, trading and playing with my dog. Not sure what else to say. Just wanted to say Hi to all.
Take care,
Durga
Hey Durga, welcome to the community. There are plenty of dog lovers here on DEV. We should maybe start a thread where people can show off their four-legged friends.
Hi Peter - Nice to meet you. I agree. We should have a thread where folks can introduce their four-legged friends.
Regards,
Durga
Hello, my name is Eligreg and I'm a Venezuelan displaced living in Colombia. I started my digital career writing content but quickly learned that coding is the backbone of everything we do online and I want to learn. Also, I need a better job. There are many refugees who can cook or clean but not many that can code. I think I might get a better job if I learn how to code. Since I've been working in Marketing, my goal is to work with Analytics and data.
Being part of a community is always the best, I'm glad to start this path.
Sounds like you have a pretty great idea of the path forward and it is absolutely awesome to have you! My inbox is open if you ever need help with anything.
That's really nice! Thank you so much, Ben!
Hello everybody and good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are! My name is Edward and I'm a Computer Engineer from Venezuela but I'm currently living in Panama because of my work as a consultant.
I'm currently improving my skills as a Web developer but my heart is in game dev.
I hope you have/had a great day!
Are you actively doing any game dev these days?
Hi Ben, nice to meet you.
Kind of haha. I try to replicate the mechanics of various games in my free time but I stopped because I am looking for another job more related to Software development so, right now, I'm improving my skills in JS and C ++.
But I made two little games, one infinite runner and a race like that I want to improve (right now there's only one car, I need to add another one to make it a racing game, right? haha)
Hello! I'm a software engineer in Chicago. I've come down with a bout of imposter syndrome after a recent promotion so I thought joining a learning community might be a good way to fill those boots so to speak. I'm excited to improve my craft with everyone here!
Hi. I'm Orlando, greetings from Venezuela. I started learning code, this past year and really think it's a great thing to learn, this site is awesome and the community here is pretty cool. Hope I can help more people to learn code soon. I'm interested in JavaScript and Python.
Welcome Orlando!
Thank you, Ben and thanks for your really good posts!.
Hello family!
I am Michael and I am from Ghana. I am 22 and I live and work as an e-commerce assistant in the capital Accra. Though I am pretty new to e-commerce, I've learned quite a lot in the very short space of time and what's compelled me to start learning code is how and why I actually got hired in the first place. My company needed a total revamp of its website and seeing how the processes and the way things were going about, I felt intrigued and told myself I'd learn how to code and develop websites for people and clients and businesses that needed them. Before the year ends, I hope to have acquired and mastered the basics of web development first hand. I joined Dev Community so as to engage and learn from the rest of the world that I want to be a part of. I look forwarding to an adventurous and fulfilled dev life!
Sounds like you'll fit right in!
Thank you! Really looking forward to it

Hello, does anyone know how to change the tags I'm following (ie remove some, add others)? I had a look in settings and in general around my profile and I can't find how to do it.
You can go to the tag page to remove it. For example, dev.to/t/javascript!
Thank you! Is there a way to see all existing tags too (so I can choose perhaps some more/others)?
Here's a bunch!
dev.to/tags
Thanks, I had found those but I was literally looking for the full set :)
Hi! I'm Avital from Tel Aviv - backend developer turned Developer Advocate, who recently got involved in twitter and ultimately got exposed to THIS amazing community. Next thing you know, I'm co-hosting the first Dev IRL Tel Aviv event with Ben Greenberg! (can you tag people here?)
There are few things I love more than planning events. Maybe cooking. They're both such excellent ways to pull a bunch of moving elements together and create something totally awesome!
Welcome! And yes! You can tag people here with this syntax
@benhayehudi. @benhayehudi look forward to pics!!Thanks @jess ! (for some reason I was expecting auto fill on the @ ?)
Oh yeah, that would be really nice. I think we have an issue open for that if someone wants to contribute!

Welcome! Feel free to start a thread on the #help tag if you'd like to solicit some advice from the community.
Hi all! Greetings from Indonesia. My name is Danil, I'm 34 y.o. Actually i feel like a bit late entering development world. Since 2006, I've entered IT field as a student, and luckily learn about Linux at that moment. In 2009, I started working as a (offline) course instructor, with quite broad topic covered (web dev, mobile dev, graphic design and multimedia); mostly of it use FOSS (Free Open Source Software) as tools. During that time, I've never involved in real development project; Besides preparing -mostly- web & mobile project as learning materials.
Feel that I should have real development project, I decided to resign in Q4 2017. And I joined Indonesian startup company as a Web & Mobile Developer, in Jan 2018. Until present, I feel that I got more experience on development much much more than my previous job as an instructor.
But personally, I eager to learn more from the community. As experience is the best teacher, said ones quote. So, here I am :)

Welcome Jason! I think you’ll fit in here 😄
Just thought I would say hello. I was told about the Dev.to community at a local developer meet up, and now I'm totally hooked. I'm a CS student and dad by day, and novice developer by night. I'm slowly pecking my way through JavaScript while juggling my school life. Something interesting about me? I used to be a radio DJ and board operator.
Hi all, my nam is Yannick. I’m a front-end developer at Yummygum based in the Netherlands.
I just finished my finals project for my study in interaction design. And starting next year I’ll be studying information technology.
I’m currently trying to introduce code testing in to our process at Yummygum.
My passion lays with HTML, CSS, Javascript and React. I also have a strong passion for creating a good UX for the end user.
I love helping people and answering questions as I love to give my own thoughts but most importantly hear the thoughts of others.
I’m very happy to become a part of this community.
Hi Yannick, welcome to the community. We're all glad that you're here.
This is a wonderful attitude, look forward to seeing some of your thoughts.
Hi! I'm Daniel Rodriguez. Originally from Venezuela, now living in Florida, I've been working almost exclusively as a remote software developer since 2011. I recently joined Microsoft! I'm very proud of it. I'm working on Open Source tools written in TypeScript with an amazing team of people from around the world. I hope to learn many new things here!
Welcome, Daniel! Which Open Source tools are you working on?
I'm working on the TypeScript SDKs for Azure!
Hey everyone! I've been here a handful of times but since it seems I can't stop hearing about dev.to, I decided I should probably dive in a bit deeper and actually create an account. So here we are. I'm an "AWS Engineer" per my job title. So far I have two AWS certs, working on a third. I love to write code, mainly in flavors of JS or python. I'm currently about to begin an onboarding dashboard project for my company. Thinking about giving Electron a whirl with React.
Hello,
My name is Eric and I live in Chicago. I am here to learn more about Java Script so I can test APIs more efficiently in Postman. I would also like to learn more about Selenium.
Thanks,
Welcome! And cool stuff, you should think about following the #javascript and #selenium tags as your feed will send you content relevant to whatever tags you follow.
Thank you. I was already following javascript but didnt know about selenium.
No worries!
In fact, I should mention that you can simply type
dev.to/t/whatevertagyouwantto see a list of all posts that have been tagged with that tag.If you're just looking to browse tags however, this is a great place to start - dev.to/tags. This isn't a comprehensive list, but it shows the most used tags.
Hope this helps!
Great to have you Eric! I think you'll fit right in.
Hello all,
My name is Brett and I am an aspiring dev from Cocoa Beach Florida.
A little bit about my history, I was an audio engineer for about 15 years and had many day jobs along the way. Though eventually I got tired of not seeing my children so I decided to switch careers. I had built websites and graphics for bands and businesses mostly drag-and-drop but using HTML and CSS to really do what the client needed to do. During this time I got experience with Dreamweaver and utilizing FTP servers. Also, I got bit by the programming bug early in life with qbasic.
After leaving the music industry I got a job at a local magazine as their graphic designer and web developer. Using Wordpress I brought our SEO scores up and cleaned up the site as well as added ads. We also had three other clients that I managed and rebuilt their web pages as well All of them using different hosts and CMS.
While working for this company I took a couple of free online courses to get my chops up in HTML and CSS. After leaving that company I started to attend treehouse where I learned more about front end development and JavaScript. Though I made the mistake of not building a portfolio during this time, so after completing the course on front end development I was still unable to get a job.
After getting rejection letter after rejection letter I decided to get a job in something I had quite a bit of experience with CNC Machining.
Now on the right track I am starting to build my portfolio and learn Frameworks as well as many other things. I found out about this community on a podcast started looking around and found this community to be amazing. I will be writing a blog post in the future about the pitfalls and the struggles of getting into this industry.
I would definitely like to thank all of you that have contributed to this community and thank you for all of the information that I have already absorbed through this community.
Welcome, please use the community to learn and take your next steps!
Well hearing you describe this community on real talk JavaScript is what brought me here. So thank you very much.
Hello, guys! My name is Eduardo, but you can call me Lalo. I am a software developer from Mexico for the last 4 years. I am currently working as web developer for a company from Mexico City remotely and working on a personal project (web and mobile application).

Hi I'm Jenny and I am a full stack developer from Dallas,TX. and I have been developing in Angular for the past 4-5 years. I recently started working with React and I am working with React Hooks and learning how to use them. I could really use a React friend or a few of them that I can bounce ideas with and ask questions about the technology when I run into issues. Preferably looking for someone who thinks of themselves as a React expert:)
Hey,
Growing up my family had an Elk Ranch. Terrible idea don't get into it. Still that lead me to be involved in startups and to enjoy the crazy. Now working as a Dev/Product Owner at a startup called Jolt. I ended up here because of an article about GraphQL. I created an account to see if I could find the setting to put the website into a DarkMode. Hopefully it has one.
Hey Bryan! Welcome!
And oh wow, an Elk Ranch eh? There's gotta be a great yak shaving joke in there. 🦙
We have a light, dark, and pink mode!

Hey Everyone 👋
I'm Balázs from Hungary, living and working in The Netherlands
I have started to get more-and-more interested in software development, Cloud and DevOps a few years back, but never really had a laser-focus to develop my skills and myself in these domains.
Now I'm here to hold myself to a new promise; to make sure I can find a Cloud Engineer or DevOps Engineer job in 2020.
Planning to do that by learning a lot from the community and giving back too, while taking online courses and building fun personal projects.
Excited to be here and part of the community 🥳🤓

Hi, I'm Lu and a minute ago wrote a post and... I think I did not submit it. If it happens to appear twice, I'm so sorry, I'll delete it ASAP.
I'm a junior web developer. I'm also a professional editor and a very detail oriented proofreader. I'm passionate about communication so I thrive to make amazing and accesible UIs and write great documentation.
Currently looking for a new full time job as a dev and looking forward to start learning mobile development next month.
Hi Lu, welcome to DEV! :)
Regarding the double comment issue, it's not you, it's us. 😅 What happens is when you submit a comment, it shows up at the top. When you leave the page though the comment will move according to our ranking system. Sorry about the confusion!
Good luck in your job search!
Oh, so that's what happened XD (I'll look up the duplicate and delete it if I can, sorry!). Thank you for the clarification and kind words! glad to be here!
No worries! Duplicate as much as you want (or don't want)! 😁

Hey all! Bryan here and I'm new to dev.to as well. I'm from Singapore but based in Berlin now, working as a growth engineer. I used to be a fullstack developer with more weight towards the backend (Rails), but gradually made the shift fully over to the frontend as I switched jobs. Other than general web development, a lot of my work also involves the technical side of tracking, analytics and experimentation!

Hi y'all! 👋
I'm a front-end developer and MSc student in product design from northern Sweden. I've been a hobby developer since 2011, but only recently got serious with it. This fall I'll begin my master's thesis project, hopefully in the field of UI/UX and front-end development (still looking for a company to collaborate with).
I've had a lot of other hobbies during the years as well, one of which is writing articles. I just published one on here as a matter of fact. Check it out if it sounds interesting to you! 👉 "Creating a website theme switcher with CSS only"
Really looking forward to spending some time in this community! 🙂
Hey Alexander!
Looks like a great first article. Thanks for sharing! Hope there are more to come!
I'm glad you appreciate it, Michael! For sure. Replies like these motivate me to share more, so thank you! 😌
Hey Everyone! My name is Demaris and I am a new Front End Developer. I found dev.to via google recommended articles. I am currently looking to gain more web dev skills. I’m comfortable with the basics HTML and CSS, and I’m working on mastering JavaScript before revisiting jQuery and React.

Hi everyone, Gareth here from Wales in the UK. Got a degree in computer systems engineering and electronics & have since worked in multiple sectors from aerospace to motor insurance. Anyway nice to be here, hope to see you around. :)

Hello everyone! I am Jeff, Software Engineer at Palo Alto Networks. I already have a few posts, but managed to not introduce myself first.
I came to Dev.to due to a friend of mine telling me how great it is. I had been posting on Medium for a while and felt like nobody cared about what I wrote. He suggested posting on here since it is much more engineering focused.
Currently working in JS, React, Redux, but formerly I was a Ruby on Rails dev.
Fun fact about me is I collect and build vintage cars. It is kind of an obsession really.
Anyways, hi to everyone, and hopefully some of you take a gander at my content.
hi all! my name's liv and i'm on the rust team, focusing on community aspects and meetup organization and so forth. i used to be on the node.js community committee, and node has a sweet spot in my heart, but these days i'm particularly excited about rust and especially webassembly!
Awesome, welcome to dev.to! I'm very interested in learning Rust, and recently bought "The Rust Programming Language" by Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols.
