Hey, there!
My name is Diana and I haven't published a welcome thread yet. And it seems to me that time has come.) I have been a tech blogger since 2015 and I love my job.)
On Dev, I have already published 44 posts and am going to write another article soon. I'm interested in IoT, blockchain, programming, including technologies, software solutions, and software engineering practices.
Have a nice day to everyone!
Hello
hello
Diana,
With 44 articles written and an interest in software solutions and software engineering practices, can you tell me if Dev has a great indexing method that would allow me to find the exact article I need to read just when I need it? I'm looking for something like Socratic Arts' ExTRA(Experts Telling Relevant Advice) system. socraticarts.com/solutions/technol...
Hi
You can search for information by various tags such as devops, techtalks, app dev, and more.)
Damnnn impressive list for so young!
That is wayyyy impressive!
I love the initiative! We young developers have to work extra hard to account for our age.
Keep it up!
Us Old wannabe career changers feel your pain! Lol
I am Muhammed Cham an aspiring developer
Hello MuhammedCham
Hi Farid, I am new here trying hard to become a developer, currently taking up course through Pluralsight and andela sponsored by Google for its certification. Hope all is well with you.
Hi, Muhammed. May I ask how you are enjoying Pluralsight? I have considered them and many others. I just want to learn the best way possible. Thank you.
Hello Muhammed
hi Abdul how are you brother
Hello everyone, i want to learn how to code but i am not sure how to commit what i learn to memory any suggestions?
Definitely rinse and repeat for committing to memory. But try not to repeat exactly the same way twice. Mix it up, add complexity for practice, delve into how the thing works.
thank you for that advice. Do you happen have any suggestions on a good desktop to handle learning how to code? Ive learned to avoid HP as it seems theyre terrible with being heavy Disk and CPU users.
If you just want a machine that will help you learn coding basics, all you really need is a good internet connection, assuming you're doing your study on the web. If you were working solely from books, you could reasonably get away with any old machine that didn't have trouble starting up.
What are some of your learning goals?
What languages/technologies are you interested in?
Well just reading is where i am realizing im not learning i learn how to do a few things then move on and months later i forget everything. I want to start working in projects (random ones from the internet) to get real practice but I honestly want a smooth experience I work full time and dont really want to deal with a slow or problematic computer as I work on projects to try to learn how to program. I understand how specs work but what ive realized is even with good specs depending on that computer it may still run slow or have issues.
Again, it depends on what kinds of technologies and workloads you plan to work with, but all speed issues will likely come down to processor speed and memory. You can even offload some of your computer strain by working with an IDE on a virtual machine, like cloud9. So even without a lot of $ to spend you could get a decent used computer and figure out an efficient way to run it.
Hello,
I'm new to developing, but I've been very happy doing it all day
everymost days for almost a year now. The quirks of JavaScript have brought me lots of joy.I'm just really starting to become productive. You know when you start out and aim for the stars and end up just jumping up and down on the spot! I'm not yet getting out to orbit but I've learnt to aim at things that'll build me a rocket.
I'm here to reach out and grow. I realise to move ahead I'm going to need others, independence is causing drag.
Thanks, Love you, Later xox
"I'm not yet getting out to orbit but I've learnt to aim at things that'll build me a rocket." Haha, this is an awesome analogy!
Welcome!
Thanks Michael :)
Nice keep it up.
Welcome, keep working hard!
Hello, nice to meet you all
I come from Indonesia, I can't wait to learn from all of you. it's just that I am not proficient in English, so I'm sorry if in discussing many grammatical errors.
Welcome Farid to DEV 🙋♂️
Don't you worry about the grammar mistakes and ask & share your knowledge 🙂
Should there be a problem, people here are nice to ask what you'd have had meant or help you to improve your post/questions.
thank Sung M. Kim
Welcome, Farid!
thank you Daniel
Are you from Germany, Wah from childhood I really like the German national team, what's more since being trained by Jurgen Klinsmann until now being trained by Joachim Löw, besides that I also like Dortmun, Neuer, Muller, Ozil and others.
By the way, is this a coding forum? or the football community?
Farid, don't worry at all about your English. It is excellent. Honestly, some of the worst English now comes out of America. Best of luck to you in your coding journey.

Hello! I'm Fabiana from Brazil. I'm a bignner in programmer and I have fineshed the Angela Yu Web Bootcamp at Udemy. So I was searching for frontend and backend's mind maps to concatenate my skills. Then I found one of dev.to's artichles. And now I'm here ready to learning more.
Hi Fabiana!
That's awesome! Let me know if you find any awesome mind maps. I'm interested in finding some too :)
Hi Melanie!
Actually, I was searching for a concept's map, but I found a diferent map in this post by javinpaul:
dev.to/javinpaul/the-2019-web-deve...
But it was very useful to me anyway! :)
Welcome Fabiana!
We're so glad to have you!
Thank you!!
I'm Frankie and I'm a startup backend/Golang dev and professional coach. I've recently started blogging - my primary topic is engineering management. I'm working on an online course for dealing with impostor syndrome. Oh, and I do platform engineering at Mix.com.
Somebody recommended this site to me today and I LOVE the aesthetics. Hi folks!
Hey hey Frankie!
Hope you dig it here. If you write anything Golang related please be sure to tag it with #go (dev.to/t/go) ... likewise, the same goes for imposter syndrome (dev.to/t/impostersyndrome) and any other topic you may write on.
So much of discoverability depends on using these tags! Just a general tip!

Hello everyone!
I am John and I am a web developer from Greece. I haven't wrote any post yet but I am planning to do so asap!
I am here because I am intrested in participating in a community like this! I want to learn something new every day, and I think this is the right place! :)
Hi John, great to have you here! I am looking forward to reading your posts! Do you already have an idea what you want to write about?
Hi Sebastian, thank you for the welcome! I think I would start by writing a post about my favourite javascript resources (books, tutorials etc). What do you think?
Sure, go for it! If you do that, I would also love to hear some takeaway from every resource (e.g. "in 'Javascript - The Good Parts' I learned how to do truly private variables by using scopes")
Hello,
Praveen here, I'm a front-end developer from new delhi, India. Currently learning about firebase with react and implementing auth via social logins.
You can checkout the demo here or the repo from here.
How has your experience been with Firebase? Is there something I should know about since I'm thinking of using firebase to build a side project later.
Thank you🙌
Welcome!
Hello. My name Is Luiz and I have interest in learning more about aplications of coding for the health and machine learning. My favorite languages are python and PHP with Django or Laravel, and I love write and read, specially about fantasy's stories.
Writing fantasy stories eh? That's super cool. I totally feel like there was someone around here that wrote a how-to for nim or maybe vim in the style of a fantasy... gonna see if I can dig that up.
Hello Akijunior.
Thanks for sharing about yourself and good luck!
I think I missed a lot of welcome thread, here we are!
Hi everyone, Khalyomede here, I am a web developer the day, a side project maker the night, and I love to try out new things, and always find easier or more intuitive alternative to do something.
Very happy to be part of this community ✌️😁
Hey Khalyomede,
Glad you caught this one! 😀
Loving the web dev by day/side project maker at night tagline. Sounds like a superhero. 🦸♂️
Hi!
I'm jerome. I'm a computer science student. I'm very familiar with java and OOP but I was stuck at tutorial purgatory so I transitioned to python. Made some websites with django and flask already. Now, I'm still hungry for ideas so I joined this community.
Hope I can explore cool things here!
Welcome to DEV Marc Jerome!
Happy to join :)
Hi everyone!
I'm Alex, Python & JS Developer from Russia. I was wondering how to measure my own level of expertise and that's how I found dev.to!
I have a few years of experience as a software developer in different companies around the globe. Most of the companies were start-ups or software development wasn't their main business. I've started exploring new job opportunities recently and while updating my resume I was wondering what level of experience should I put for different roles.
In the most cases, I was employed just as a software/web developer, but in the end, I had to deal with the wide range tasks: managing databases and clouds, designing the whole IT systems from scratch, coding everything, etc.
Pretty much in all companies, I was the only developer, therefore I needed to convert employer's ideas to the working code (or whole IT system) from scratch. It even happened in my first job when I was just an intern.
Should I call myself senior developer, if I have just a couple of years of experience? Should I state roles in my resume as 'Software Developer, DevOps Engineer, System Architect' for every company or just official titles?
Google news put a post from here in my feed. Thought I'd say hi, I blog on a wide range of societal, scientific and engineering related topics at my blog: sent2null.blogspot.com
Coding focus now is fullstack service building, ML, AI.Workflow
I currently work as a UX/UI designer. I also develop simple websites using Wordpress. I know tad bits of codes here and there but as far as programming go, am basically a beginner. I trained and worked as a Database Admin too. I have recently started learning how to code and out here looking for all the support and materials that I can get.
I am currently taking a Web Development course by Angela Yu on Full stack web development.
Thanks.
welcome!

Done! Thank you!
hey,
I am Jen and originally from Canada, but now live in the US.
Primarily, I work in J2EE technologies, but I am passionate about front-end and try to do it whenever I can.
Have been an on-and-off blogger for years & recently got together with a bunch of friends to start Canosie Labs to help share our experiences with the dev community through writing blogs and making videos.
Thanks!
Same! Halifax -> NYC for me.
Hey guys!
My name's Hayden and I do a lot of full-stack work, as well as breaking into some Game Dev a la ROBLOX and Unity. I've been working for about a year and a half as this, with my knowledge of Node having developed some time early last year.
I'm new to DEV, but I hope to get more active. :)
Welcome to DEV Hayden! do you have any tips for ROBLOX or Unity? Those are two things I've been interested in for a bit, but haven't started with yet :)
Heya Chris!
Well, for ROBLOX, I recommend having a look through a bit of Lua code (it was kind of hard to get to grips with Rbx.Lua when I started). Also, don't even think about doing anything like client-side raycasting or anything on it if you break into... things that would use that. Do it server-side with RemoteEvents.
As for Unity, I've still not spent much time with it but C# is nice and easy to understand, and the exposed APIs from
UnityEngine.*are brilliant, they make things really easy to script!Anything else, I'd be happy to help!
(I'm now on to Kotlin, with a couple years work in JavaScript & TypeScript :) )
Good tips, thanks!
Hey all,
Was persuaded to sign up because I wanted to discuss the death of RSS and how tech might preserve independent podcasting.
I'm interested in open source, decentralisation, podcasting, and would like to get into amateur robotics and hardware projects more. I get tired of everything I work on living behind a screen :P
When I'm not building websites or apps for Spritz Creative, I'm blowing off steam by shouting my head off with Hearse Pileup
I'm working on getting back into blogging too
Nice to meet you all :)
Digging the tunes!! Listening to "Pretty Shiny Things" - this rocks!
Hah, thanks! I'm trying to get an album out end of this year/early next year; will surely post an update then :D
Hello Everyone!
I'm Usman and i've recently joined Emumba as DevOps Engineer. I love to travel,read and learn about new things.
I believe that one should play an active role in his community irrespective of the outcome.
Hi Usman. Great attitude you have there - welcome to the community!
Hi everyone, great to be here. My name's Mark from Leamington Spa near Coventry, Warwickshire, UK - used to live near Bristol. I started with PHP, but my career went more in the direction of digital marketing, SEO, web design, PPC, email marketing etc and only now am I looking at PHP once more. I've been playing with PHP/MySQL for over 15 years, but never actually done enough to be fluent, so I'm here hoping to learn more. I have used PHP a few times a year, but often work with other developers to execute any projects. I've always been more comfortable with procedural, but feel I need to get much more comfortable with object oriented PHP. Am I the only one scared of OOP?
Hope your week's been great so far.
Hey Mark. OOP can be scary initially, but I feel like once the understanding is there, it can the coding experience much easier.
Thanks Yusuf. That's good to know. I have never got far enough to find out! But hopefully will soon.
Hey everyone!
I'm Mike and am excited to be here primarily to learn from all of you. I'm a digital marketer working for an agency who has been dabbling in code for over 15 years. I know HTML but want to master front end development. I love building websites and learning the ins and outs of tech. Open to exploring new languages I know nothing about!
Hey there! I'm a front-end developer with a 9-year experience in building React, Angular, and JavaScript projects. I'm also an active open source contributor. Nice to meet you! Hope, I will be welcomed here! :)
Hi all! My name is Kevin and I'm a Release Engineer by day and an aspiring web developer by night. In my day job, I'm a TFS Admin and I do a bit of PowerShell scripting. For the web dev side, I'm currently trying to learn Vue and Express. I'm not that good at the web dev stuff and I'm currently going down the YouTube, Udemy, Pluralsight rabbit hole. This stuff is good, but I need to face my fears and just start building already. I'm hoping to follow some smart people here and hopefully get some much needed direction. Currently I'm trying to evaluate using NUXT + Vuetify and am scouring the web for examples. I doubt I can provide much help with any web related questions at this point, but I can probably help out with any Git related questions that people may have.
Hi Kevin. Welcome to DEV 👋
Yes, it surely is daunting to learn the front-end technologies and you usually end up going down the rabbit hole 😞
But you can ask questions and follow/focus some tags you are interested in.
Say, #vue and follow/say hi to the Vue tag mod, Dave Follett 🙂
Dave Follett
And have fun learning & sharing with other DEVs
Thanks Sung!!
Hey DEV,
I work at Tray.io, we're building a visually programming tool for DIY enterprise automation.
NB: Engineers please read "Tray is if this then that for Enterprise"
We like to keep eyes peeled and fixed on the bleeding edge so we can bring new knowledge to work with them so we're hoping to learn a lot from this new community.
I write a little on the side about what we build and life at Tray and which I'd love to share here too!
Hope to hear from loads of you, peace

Hi all,
Fun fact about me: Onions are my favourite vegetable.
Currently learning all I can to improve my JS and PHP skills
In terms of what brought me here, I wanted to give back to the community but also I wanted to be able to take what I know and learn how to concisely explain it to others in order to really solidify that knowledge.
Cheers
FAVORITE vegetable??
WILD.
Honestly couldn't come up with anything more interesting so scraped the barrel and used my favourite vegetable. When you hit rock bottom the only way is up.
Greetings!

Hello everyone!
My name is Ahmed, and I'm from Egypt. Just graduated from the university with a bachelor degree in computer engineering. The degree program covered lots of topics such as OS, mobile applications development, database, embedded systems. I'm still confused which track to take but I'm hoping to become either an android or web developer. I learned about the android development in uni, and now I'm starting to watch an online course about web development.
The programming languages I used are C, C++, Python, Java, JavaScript, and I used frameworks such as ReactJS, ReactNativeJS, NodeJS, ExpressJS
Joined the DEV community to get some advice about jobs tracks and to develop my skills, and become the best version of me.
Welcome to DEV Ahmed! (a month late; but better late then never :) )

Hey everyone,
My name is Phillip and I just got here.
Like a good millennial, I got my HTML start in the 2000s on myspace, geocities, and the like... I've held a variety of digital focused roles for political campaigns and nonprofits, over about 10 years in my very random career.
My current day job is about using the web to connect people with their leaders, around the world, to be advocates in the fight against extreme poverty. I do a bit of developer coordination, product and project management, front end coding... and administering (read: hacking the shit out of) campaign tools.
I'm always trying to up-skill - and always falling down new rabbit holes of curiosity... I'm currently focused on beefing up my JS skills, including learning new frameworks like VueJS... I've also had beginner-level experience with Python, and C, as well as a little bit of hacking away at PHP. Hobby projects have included rpi and arduino. And for bonus nerd points: I'm also a licensed Amateur (ham) Radio Operator.
Look forward to exploring this community, connecting, and learning. :)
Hello! My name is Angel. My goal is to be a front end developer but I an currently working as a Shopper for Amazon Prime Now.

Hi! my name is Jerome and I learned data visualization by blogging about it and writing tutorials. That wasn't my original plan, but one thing led to another and that got me a job in the Silicon Valley, and eventually I became a bona fide engineer. Since I've been working in tech, though, I have written much less. I owe all of my success to sharing what I learned. I hope to be able to share again through dev.to.
Hi, everyone!
I'm Clite Tailor. I'm 23 year old and i'm a front-end developer. I'm interested in functional programming languages such as Haskell, NodeJS, Rust and Elixir.
Love to discuss and share knowledge about technology. Great to be here with you guys!
Hello, I am Joseph Doan,
I am trying to be an Animator Generalist covering modeling, animating, texturing and hope to be a TD on the matter in the future. I function mostly as an artist and do not code but slight html and css. Just got started in Gatsby its quite fun. But there are many fronts. First of all Im on Linux. Secondly, I come from a cave and live under it. Third is a question about Flatpak for everyone to answer. While I like changing install directory to say for example, "extra" it is completely containerized. Almost too much. I'd have to reinstall NVIDIA and KDE and more. I am using Budgie Ubuntu. Not Fedora, where others might alike Flatpak to, however I was able to remote as it is tutorialized on the web search. Just google it. To a folder in opt. However, it gives me two options to install.
Install in system will significantly reduce the install dependency size as it picks up complete systems. Install in my custom remote forces me to install the entire NVIDIA Graphics driver some 700mb.
All I am trying to install the PDF Mixer Tool for ubuntu 19.01. Isn't that absurd even for complete in a box solution? Windows 10 never boasted it was its own box. Kinda does but really? It still uses anything already installed. Flatpak, Snapd, AppImage is too powerful without being checked. Yankees would always throw away the too powerful of a Georgie-poo in the midst of the throne while George is still King. I am not a Yankeey nor a Tory. But I will spit out my Russian Caravan tea as I drink it in a ball of fire. Thanks for welcoming me and sorry for the welcome vent. Two birds with one stone. I prefer gun-powder absolutely.
Is anyone able to help with my maybe our flatpak problems?
-Foreignletters
I think I ended up installing something else.
No wait I ended up installing to system instead of 'extra's and it found it all. However, I would like install elsewhere while still finding dependency on system. Who on earth wants to reinstall GPU drivers everytime? That would load on internet, servers, and the world. Like plastic, please reduce flatpak down to utter reducing footprint.
I accidently created account with the other option. Now I have a linkedin one and the other connected one. Sheesh, talk about accidental prone plus reducing footprint. Now I have two accounts on dev.to. I love this place! I hope this community stays on its toes.
Hi,
I'm Matt Layman. I'm a long time Python developer, but I have a general love for all kinds of software and languages.
I've been writing on my personal site for 11 years, and I thought I might share some of that content here and interact with this community.
Hey 👋
My name is Josh, 25, I’m from the UK not far from Liverpool. Began teaching myself to code towards the end of 2014 and ended up focussing on a PHP, which led me to Magento, an e-commerce framework for those who don’t know of it! Anyway, Magento 1 was a bit crazy but Magento 2 is much more modern in terms of PHP!
So, over the past two years I guess I got to the point where I’m pretty confident with PHP, thus I’ve started investing a lot more of my time in JS - React, Angular, ES6 and co.
I lost my job in mid 2017 (company went bust) and started a Magento agency with 3 of the guys i worked with at the place, it was going really well but I’ve decided to leave it behind mid 2019, think it might have came a bit too soon, and yer, I’m thinking (hoping) I’ll have a bit more time on my hands!
My plan is to start blogging a bit more, I came across a post on here about GraphQL Transform library and decided I’ll create an account and see if I can get into it and maybe inspire some others to take it up, because we should all share our knowledge!
Thanks for reading 😊
Hi all. I'm new here, a Computer Science Graduate Student at Seattle University, with a Master's in Quantitative International Economics, and a novice at Data Science Storytelling in Python. Seeking internships and entry-level opportunities. Looking forward to meeting people!

Yahello!
Ethan here. I got started making websites (eerily similar in style to @ben's site) when I was 9 and kept going.
I haven't done a lot of technical writing or open-source, but am trying to learn where to fit it into my life on top of work/friends/family.
Excited to contribute in the future and learn from everyone here!
Welcome to DEV, Ethan~ 👋
And thanks for the link to Ben's site 🤣 (felt nostalgic)
Hey!
My name is David, I'm 27. I'm currently pursuing my career in education, and I play music. Oh, I'm from Brooklyn. My knowledge is principally focused in HTML/CSS/PHP.
I'm a 90's kid, so my experience with web development started with and ended with Notepad. As a teen I used to make sites for people, and got really good at (please hold your collective sighs) WordPress development before the market got inundated with it. I feel ridiculously out of my depth when looking at the platforms available today.
When the hell did all of this happen? Using Git initially confused me, and apparently, I don't need to keep install CSS hacks because a wide majority of them are standard now. I'm hitting the ground running.
TL;DR Hey, I'm Dave, I've recently taken back up web development, and I'm out of my depth. I came here to hang out and learn.
Hello! Wow, this community looks amazing! I am a 30-year-old physicist, and looking for a change in career, starting to code. For now, I have some experience in ruby, C and python, and hoping to utilize my scientific background. So, this community looks like a perfect place to talk to you guys, learn from you and share what I have learned so far. Cheers!
Hello! My name is Marcin and I am a software developer from Poland. I currently work in Golang and Ruby. Apart from programming, I like working out, watching UFC or some science videos and reading books.
I joined dev.to to get to know interesting stuff and hopefully share some too ;)
Here is my first post.
Hey, I'm Tim, and I am learning Python! Saw this on the CodeNewbie Podcast website and thought I would get involved. Currently interested in getting involved with open source to build my skills. I have some experience with HTML5 and CSS3.
Hi everyone!
My name is Lazar, I just joined and am stokes to read everyone's posts, and write too. I'm 14 years old, and have been coding consistently for the past 5 years.
I'm interested in programming, software, and operating systems.
I have a few posts on Hashnode, but am thinking of starting off fresh here.
Y'all have a great day... or night... whatever rocks your boat.
Hi DEV!
I'm a software developer from Portugal, currently working on a Portuguese bank leading all things related to AI and automation.
I guess I'll never forget the thrill of writing
winto boot up windows, so many years ago, in my grandfather's pc.I want to give back to the great community that helped me so much through all this years, and I guess I've finally found the place!
Hey all!
I'm Bruno, a developer working with Java for close to three years now!
I worked as a problem setter and editorialist at Codechef, where I learned a lot, both from algorithms, as well as from a writing perspective.
Since I feel I've learnt a lot and keep growing as a dev, I figured writing about stuff that interests me and/or I find at my daily job, in here, can help me to both consolidate knowledge and share something useful with the community.
Cheers :)
Welcome to this awesome community! 👍
Hello,
I am new to the Dev community. I want to become a developer but I'm not sure which route to take. I've done basic programs with Java, C/C++. I considered a bootcamp and was wondering does anyone have any insight as to whether that would be a good idea or should I just learn it on my own? Thanks.
Hey guys! Im a community manager in a small french game dev company. Personally, im not much of a coder myself as i know only basics, but due to work have to learn something. Right now im mostly interested in c++ and c# as they seem easiest to me.
Not sure what else to write, so have a nice day everyone :D
Hi evryone! I'm Ricardo Rodriguez from Venezuela. I'm a Javascript lover but I have knowledge in other languages like Java, C#, Python and Visual Basic .net.
I have 4 years of experience building solutions for smart to medium enterprises. I like to learn something new every day and teach others what I learnt
This is late, but nice to meet you Ricardo! I like learning new things too - which is why I love DEV!
Nice to meet you too Chris, I love DEV too, I've recommend some articles of this platform to my coworkers. I had the opportunity to read some of your articles and I liked them, you teach very well
Hi all!
Over the last few months, I have ended up on this website more and more often. I love the content, so after a few months of lurking, I decided to create an account. Gosh, who knew there was so much more Javascript one could learn? This website opened my eyes.
I enjoy teaching others how to use serverless technologies to solve their problems. Right now I'm working on a video series, and will post about it in the future.
All the best,
Martin
Welcome Martin! That is exactly the journey we expect folks to go on, so we try not to be pushy with lurkers, just giving them a gentle nudge to join in. 🙂

Be seeing you :)
Great to have you!
Hi all,
My name is Ferenc and I work as a web (BE PHP) developer but I have some experiences in other fields (Java, Android, .NET and some more). I started programming when I was 12 on school C=16, C=+4, C=64 computers - it was a very-very long time ago :)
Unfortunately my everyday tasks don't offer too many intellectual challenges nowadays so I started to learn Rust and this provides me with a lot of frustrated and successful moments :)
Hello Dev Community, I am a software engineer with hand full of experience, who enjoy coding, solving problems and learning cool stuffs.
Happy to land here!
