Matthew Piercey

My name's Matthew, and I'm a second-year business student currently living in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

I've always considered myself to be techie; some of my fondest memories are of taking apart late-90's desktops, learning how to write my first JS script, and printing my first custom design on my 3D printer.

I'm a hobby web developer/designer, but I've been involved in robotics and general DevOps shenanigans, and many things in-between.

I own/operate a tiny robotics business, Bot-In-a-Box Educational Robotics, which I started with a friend of mine a couple of years ago, and I've got some rather ambitious plans for the next few months...

Anyway, I stumbled upon Dev.to a few weeks ago, while researching how to use Nuxt.js. Since then, it's far and above become my favourite blog/news site, and I just generally really like it.

Hi, I'm a QA Engineer that is learning all things Java with the occasional Python (Which I've dabbled with in the past). I'm currently getting interested in Information Security especially around the pen test, application security. I'm not limiting myself so any information is always good for me to discuss. So if any of you want to connect and discuss, then let me know.

I'm also getting into all things AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes

Not putting the bugs in the software in the first place :)

Seriously, I'm not really too sure. The main thing I value is communication, so as long as developers and myself communicate effectively, then it's all good. Good documentation, good logging, and good collaboration, then I'm generally happy. Let me think more about that.

Ben Lovy

I didn't know how to start either... I had a great experience working through CS50x. It's a good introduction to the craft in general and uses a variety of languages, so you can then choose what interests you most after trying it out first.

It is definitely a difficult class, be prepared to spend a lot of time on the problems and get stuck - but that means you're learning!

Collapse
 
chrisachard profile image
Chris Achard

It can certainly be overwhelming! My advice is:

  1. Hang out around other technical people online. Good news: you're already doing it! DEV is a great place to hang out and find like-minded people.

  2. Read just enough of the docs or a tutorial in order to get the basic picture (that often just means getting setup, and running "Hello World"... which can sometimes take a long time to get going!

  3. Find a personal project that you think you'll really like to do. Make it SUPER simple to start... and then do that! You'll have to google a lot to figure out how to get it to work, but you'll get there eventually! (that's why you have to pick a project that you really want to do :) )

  4. repeat! Learning never ends, but it does get easier over time.

Good luck!

So after 17 months of deciding I wanted to code full-time and writing my first official line of code, I am really glad to say I got my first full-time role as a front-end Developer.

Hello! I have discovered this site thanks to the new "dev" button in Stack Overflow. Some facts about me:

  • I'm from the absolutely best place to live in the world: Mallorca, Spain.

  • I've been working as a developer since 2002, mostly in the C#/.NET realm but now I'm working with Ruby+Rails.

  • My first computer was a MSX. I got it in 1985 when I was 11, and I have been an MSX user (and later, also developer) uninterruptedly since then. I have developed some cool things such as a TCP/IP stack written in Z80 assembler.

  • In 2016 I was hired at Stack Overflow and it was truly the heaven on Earth. Unfortunately, 19 months later a wild layoff appeared. 😔

  • I met my wife on Internet in 1997, so I consider myself kind of a pioneer of e-dating 😁

And that's me. Now the party can begin!

itlegal profile image
Richard Martinez

Hi Chris,
Ops is all about keeping people working and unfortunately shortcuts will be taken in the field if they are available. Take a simple login for instance, if the password field can be left blank, it most certainly will in a high number of cases. Pen testing is all about just trying to get around the system so if developers could have their code pen tested during development it would prevent some vulnerabilities and keep the rookie hackers at bay. The most obvious thing for a quick pen test: give your beta to a power user and track their behavior...it may even spawn some ideas of your own on how to adjust the UI/UX.

Hey Chris! I worked for my degree thesis with Angular (2+) and Node.js and I loved it, but currently I'm working at my job with React + Redux and it's been great.

Nice! What is the biggest difference that you've found between Angular and React? I'm always curious what people who move from one to the other have to say about that :)

I think I miss the *ngIf, *ngFor and so on, but I've found that doing it in a "JS way" improved my JS skills. Also, I've found JSX a little weird at first, but now I got used to it. And the two-way data binding in Angular vs one-way in React

Hi! My name's Sapna and I'm a third-year IT undergraduate, keenly interested in Web development. I have a basic knowledge of C, C++, python, js, HTML/CSS. I'm also familiar with tools like Django, Bootstrap, and jQuery.
I have plans to learn AI/ML and ethical hacking in the near future, as those fields really fascinate me. Currently, I'm focussed on web development (though only a beginner) and would love to have any constructive suggestions for the same.

I've heard so many great things about the dev community that I decided to join and am super happy to be here.

My background is marketing, but I'm teaching myself how to code, primarily focusing on Javascript, HTML & CSS, dabbling with Node.JS/Express/MongoDB etc.

I went through the FreeCodeCamp curriculum and got accepted for the Chingu Voyage #11. YAY.

Feel free to ask anything or get in touch.

Hey community, been a full stack dev for 20 yrs, self taught, wide range over the years, mostly PHP/JS/HTML/CSS for our current work. We grew our company on Joomla, design and SEO work, WHMCS dev, and a lot of Wordpress now. We've got a lot of legacy code that we support and regularly update that we're pressed to mature or replace.

Been looking to expand and move myself out of the direct production line. I've been following people on Twitter and the progression of TPD for a bit. Exited for the chance to broaden my horizons in this great community!

Howdy! I am Brian, a systems software engineer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US. I have a few years of experience in various areas, but most recently I’ve been using Python and PL/SQL to work with Oracle DBs. I’m a polyglot programmer who enjoys playing around with the shiny things that grab my interest, like Rust, Go, the internals of Git....

My employer is currently migrating a monolithic donor-management system with multiple decades of development history and data to Salesforce, so I get to spin up on a completely new-to-me technology stack. Transitioning from Oracle SQL and PL/SQL to Salesforce SOQL and Apex is challenging, but this also opens up areas already of interest to me that I will be able to explore more fully.

Well, that’s me. I’m glad to be here publicly after lurking for so long.
