Awesome! I am always down for a list of articles or books to read. Been reading through Refactoring UI and Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days for UX readings. Any other suggestions?

What sort of projects are you working on?

I really liked " the best interface is no interface". I think the best way to practice interface design is to make one a day, and try to expand on the interface by making all interfaces for an app/product. For experience design, diagrams are often a good way to map things out. See dubberly.com/articles/using-concep...

I'm working on a series of generators that are web-based. Like upload a photo and change the size of those photos or paragraph generators.

Hello! I'm a Full Stack JS developer.

I love learning all about this universe so much that it's already my hobby :D

I have experience working with Laravel, NodeJS, React Native, Flutter, Angular, Ionic and other things, but I think my intention in this forum is to learn how other developers write their code, what stack they are using, what is the best architecture. for each project ... I have so many questions and I am sure that there are many developers with more experience here than me and maybe can give me advices about React, ReactNative, NodeJS good practices.
So Thanks a lot!

Hi 👋, im a frontend developer from germany (cologne).

Most of the time i work with javascript (a lot) (React, React-Native). I also do some occasional backend stuff (Rails, PHP). We build a lot of Administration tools and mobile Apps for our customers.

In my spare time i love to discover and learn new languages/technologies like Swift, Elixr, ReasonML or fiddle around with my workflow/setup (vim (we are in an on/off relationship 😄), atom, terminal, ...). So im always on the lookout for interesting blog posts/videos or repos.

When im not coding for work or on some of my many (of course never finished) side projects 😄, i like to golf, run and mountainbike.

Nice to meet you all 👋

Hello! Great to meet you! Wow, may I know how do you manage to pick up so many languages? As I'm new, and I was quite comfortable with HTML, CSS and Javascript, but then when I pick up React because I wanted to use GatsbyJS for a project, I feel like what I've learned in JavaScript was like a fragment of what's needed.

Collapse
 
sveng profile image
sven • Edited

Hi! Nice to meet you too!

Javascript is like 90% of what i do all day. So the other languages i "learned" over time with sideprojects or for smaller projects at work where i could experiment a little bit. (Though im not nearly as comftable with Swift, Rails, PHP or ReasonML as i am with JS ofc)

It gets easier over time to pick up new languages, especially when they are similar to your "main" coding language.
But there are also languages that i just cannot really get the grasp of, like ObjectiveC. (tried so many times 😄).

React just takes a little bit to get used to and understand how to "think" in react components, but once you get it, its so much fun!
Have fun with React! (and Gatsby ofc)

I've been interested in web technologies since I was a kid, and have been "messing around" making websites ever since.

Howdy,

I am a software developer based in Newberg, Oregon (just outside Portland). I founded Cloudmanic Labs about 10 years ago. We have made many different products but currently, we are focused on Skyclerk, and Options Cafe. Skyclerk is accounting software that does not suck. Options Cafe is a trading platform for trading stock options (another passion of mine).

I would say I am a pretty strong front-end developer focusing on Angular 2+ and Vue. Been writing PHP code for 15 plus years (mainly in Laravel and Craft CMS these days). Also, I am a total convert to Golang. Anything new that I write these days is in Golang.

Look forward to chatting with everyone.

Greetings,

I'm approaching my 50th birthday far too rapidly and have spent the last couple of decades building Windows desktop/server/database apps for various healthcare related tasks. I've been an IT professional for 30 years now.

Late 2018 I decided to concentrate on developing web apps. Took a few courses (thanks to Colt Steele, Dan Wahlin and Max Schwarzmüller!) on HTML, CSS, Node & Angular.

I really like Angular/Typescript as there's a lot of similarities between that and my Windows dev tool of choice - Delphi - so there was a much shallower learning curve.

Nearing completion of my first project with an Angular front end and a Delphi powered REST API backend & I now feel excited about the future & have lots of ideas for Angular apps.

To find out a little more about me (yawn) I was on the ArrayOfDevelopers web site: arrayofdevelopers.com/2019/06/13/d...

Take care everyone :)

I'm a web developer first and foremost. HTML, CSS & JS are my holy trinity GOTO, although I have worked my way from three BASIC variants, LOGO, scraps of Fortran, Perl, PHP, MySQL and who knows what else. It's been a long journey, that started with a Vic20, and a Sinclair Programmable Calculator.

Now, I'm trying to flex some old-school muscle memory by building websites without (much) JS. Hugo is my starting point. I'm pro-Indieweb, pro-decentralisation, and pro-thinking about things that don't (explicitly) have much to do with programming.

I'm Brian Baliach, situated in Kenya. I've worked with Java Desktop Applications and Web Application Development (mostly backend). I'll say it's been quite an interesting journey and I'd bet it doesn't stop now.
I'll be looking forward to building the knowledge I currently have on computing and technology in general and also build a network of friends who might help me grow or grow with me😊

Hey Devs,

I am Dilusha, from Sri Lanka. I'm a full-stack Software Engineer, being around in the industry for over 8 years now.

Well, up recently I had switched to the freelance mode to provide consultancy services for companies. Which gave me too much free time in hands to spend, hence I am creating an awesome app called ScrapeGram these days :D. Well, IndieHackers Community brought me here ;). Any fellow IH here too?

What else?

Well, I am in love with the growth of Artificial Intelligence area, and I am interested to learn and apply AI in day to day software implementations whenever necessary. Forgot to mention, I am also a heavy reader/self-researcher on Astronomy and really bothered about how it all came to existence. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My TechStack: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, NodeJS, Angular, HTML/CSS, AWS, Serverless, NoSQL

Would love to {learn/hear/interact} with similar-minded awesome devs out there.

Cheers!

Hi, I thought I would introduce myself.

I've been working with sql and web forms with c# for 12 years, but am learning react in an attempt to modernize my skillset in search of opportunities. I am totally blind and use a screen reader and Braille display.

Web development/design can be a bit tricky for me, especially on personal projects when I don't have colleagues who can help with design, but I enjoy getting the browser to do stuff.
I also do a lot of sql queries and c# apps at work, I recently completed a project taking an excel file exported from a program and importing it into a database. This was not easy as it was not your standard excel spreadsheet with column headers and data. It was definitely meant for human consumption and not computer consumption, but with helpful explanations from a colleague I was able to wrangle the data out of it and hopefully future sheets of that type. Perhaps I will write a post about it.

Feel free to ask any questions regarding blindness and/or how I program. Some of my side projects are on my github, I hope the code may help someone even though I am a relative beginner at modern javascript/front end. Looking forward to seeing what I can contribute.

Hi, I am Technical Manager at GeeksForLess Inc - IT Outsourcing company with R&D offices in Ukraine. I am working in Kyiv, Ukraine and my primary role is estimating, planning, executing and monitoring the processes of the development projects and keeping an eye on the QA flow. That is a description of my main activities during the last 10 years.

My area of interest is not limited to managing the development and delivering of the projects but also constantly exploring and improving technical decisions being made during this.

I have a Bachelor degree in Computer Science, few technical certificates (including AWS Solutions Architect - Associate), so can easily discuss any technical topic. My preferable programming languages are Java and JavaScript (for JS, both Frontend and Backend). Also, I have learned a lot about AI(mainly ML and CV) and Blockchain technologies during the last 3 years.

Currently exploring MemSQL database capabilities and learning AWS & GCP platforms further.

Hello, i am a full-stack developer switching to back-end.
I spent most of my hobby time hacking languages syntax, as this recent hack dev.to/munizart/hacking-js-async-a... (that's also my first post, i would love some feedback)
I really like functional programming and aiming to work with haskell or scala in a near future. My ultime goal is to become a university teacher.

Edit: I forgot to mention that i'm addicted to genetic algorithms and planning on a post-series about that topic on JS, probably (or TS)

Hello! I'm currently working as a Mechanical Designer, been self learning programming for a few years now on my free time and it's great to find this community as I thought the only hang out place would be Reddit or SO which are known not to be the nicest place around.

I thought I got the hang of JavaScript, HTML, CSS. And then React happen and now I feel like I got a whole bunch of new things to learn. Since when did websites become so complicated, haha.

I am studying programming as I like to build stuffs and looking forward to the opportunity to do some remote jobs.

little suggestion, before dive into react, you might wanna try jQuery. it's lot less complicated and widely used. but lil bit old now.
