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: Β«How can I made it better and faster?Β».
Good mantra to have π
I just want to let people have the possibility to enjoy the best experince possible.
Yes. I love refactoring my code to ensure it's as DRY as it can be. Performance optimisation is key. :)
Welcome!!
Welcome, Franco!
Welcome Franco!
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?
Welcome!
Thanks Jesse, looking forward to meeting people.
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!
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/
Hello, Franco! π
Djikstra did nothing wrong.
The secret to making it faster?
Code it in assembly!
No, code it in machine language: 0011011010111011... π
Benvenuto, Franco!
Given you are a web developer, might I take the privilege of introducing you to WebAssembly? :)
Given your mantra, here's a blog post that might be worth a read: cliffle.com/blog/bare-metal-wasm/
Happy hacking!
Thanks, Ganesh! Well, I read something about WebAssembly some months ago and I found it really interesting. However, Iβve never deepen my knowledge about it. Iβll surely read the article you linked! You can absolutely introduce me to WebAssembly. π
Hello
Hello Franco how are u. See your Post. U are a great web developer but keep tight for it, it will take some time to make perfect into web designing.
Join me I will help u :)
I'm not absolutely perfect, I've so, so much to learn :) Coding is a never ending journey.
welcome my big brother
Nice to meet you Franco!
Hi Franco nice to meet you. I'm super excited about new experiences.
Welcome, Franco!
Hi Franco! is awesome that you love coding too, hope you will get better and better in web development. one question, do you know backend too?. Greetings from Venezuela.
Hi, Orlando! No, Iβm sorry, I have knowledge only about front-end web development. Have a nice day!
Hey Franco, what resource would you recommend most for learning about web performance?
As soon as I come back home, Iβll show you my personal resources ;)
Check out web.dev, Googleβs Why Performance Matters and Jeremy Wagnerβs Web Performance in Action.
Hello! :D
Hi Franco
Hello, nice to meet you!
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.
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.
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! You've come to the right place. :)
Hello there!
Welcome!! I've also been going through a career transition for the last 1 1/2 years. Wishing you all the best!
Hey Raxath!
Just like many others it seems, I'm also here to transition into a different career path - good luck to both of us!
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
Glad to have you here, Bradley. Feel free to get involved in C# articles on the site and share your knowledge with the community.
Great to have you!
Hi Bradley,
Great to see a fellow EE here! I am inspired to learn more about your venture. All the best.

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
Great to have you here, Nadine!
My pleasure
Welcome to DEV!
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. π
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!
Sorry Jesse, I don't fully understand your message about the DMs. Lost in translation I am afraid.
I have corrected the #.
No worries!
Welcome to DEV!
:)
Hi Nadine! I agree, after searching different articles on dev.to I felt comfortable to join too. A great place to learn and share ideas.
Definitely, it feels good to have people to share :)
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
I'm a fellow career changer 2.5 years after making the switch! While scary and overwhelming at times it has been totally worth it and communities like this make it even better!
Congrats on deciding to focus on front-end dev! Coding is such a fulfilling livelihood, and now is a super exciting time to learn (especially in the world of JS). π π
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!
Hey, guys. I am new here in Dev. Learning web development through online course. I wonder what you think about passportjs in terms of authentication and web security.
This would make a good #help thread along with #javascript and #node
Hi gaous, Its great but if you want to deep dive, just use OAuth service is not that hard..
I usually implement myself. But its okay use passport or grantjs
You can checkout mine using local strategy not using passport but with cookies and redis.
But this type of comment should be in #help #javascript like ben said
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,
Great to have you Eric! I think you'll fit right in.
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!
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!
Welcome!
Feel free to make a #showdev post about Streak π
Thanks Ben! Finally got around to it: dev.to/emma/streak-habit-tracker-f...
Hi! I'm here to also improve my blogging skills so hopefully we'll both be experts by the end of the year πͺ
I took a look at Streak and it looks awesome π 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!
