👋 Hi DEV! I'm Mariz and I'm a Junior Software Engineer (mostly dealing with C++ and C#). I initially studied Computer Science with a dream to work on space rockets 🚀 But I have long since adjusted my goals to:
👩💻 become a full stack developer,
👐 be a more active contributor to the open source community, and
⚡ pioneer... something.
Random fact about me: My MBTI is INTP!
I hope you all have a great day and maybe you could share random facts about yourself to start it off~
If you are a beginner in programming world and want to learn programming fast. So I suggest you a website which have projects with source code and you can use those projects and practice those projects Projects With Source Code
Thanks for this info. Checking it now...
Just finished checking. They are all php projects. Do you know any similar site with Rails or React JS projects?
I will try to find, then i will tell u sir
Ok bro! Thank you.
👋 Hello! My name is Genesis and I am currently working as a Computer 💻 Programmer. I use the .NET framework with C# and some of the front end languages. I want to be more involved in a group of like-minded individuals that also understand my work. Also, learning new things from other peoples experiences!
C# is one of my favorite programming languages. I do not get to work in it much any more, but I do hope it has continued to improve and expand to incorporate new ideas in our field. Have you used many other languages and how do you think it compares?
Cheers 🍻,
pete
Welcome to DEV Genesis! This is a great community to be apart of :) What's something new you're looking to learn?
A little more about UX, how people learn and work. Plus even if I read something that is not related to the languages I currently use it's still some awesome knowledge 😄.
👋 Hello!
Glad to see I'm not alone with .NET development.
Sometimes it can get a lot of hate from the community, but I'm glad to see that changing slowly.
Happy you're here!
Heh, indeed I have noticed that .NET doesn't have the sexiest reputation in the opensource community. But actually the developer experience is quite nice with the latest components (WebAPI2 with Swagger etc.)
👋Hi DEV! I am Arpit and I am a Full Stack Software Developer at IBM. I develop and design for Ed-Tech, Social Good, Psychology, Intuitive UX and UI.
You can find out about me at arpitjainds.github.io/
I love to develop beautiful and clean User Interfaces. I came here to exchange thoughts and share ideas with this amazing community.
Hi Arpit, what an amazing website! So neat and cool ~
Thanks ;)
Website is awesome.
Thanks, Zohaib :)
Welcome to Dev Arpit! It'll be great to hear what you have to say about clean UIs :) (something that I think a lot of us forget while doing the nitty gritty programming work :) )
Hi Dev 😊
This is Tamim. I am a Trademark Attorney. I hate my profession 😫, and I am in ❤️ with Web Development Frontend & Backend.
I am good in HTML, CSS, JS & PHP and use Laravel .. it's one of the most powerful and enjoyable PHP frameworks out there.
Now am learning MERN stack and it is just WOW! 😍
Web Dev is my hoppy .. however, I am learning a lot passionatly to become a Professional Full Stack Web Developer; so I can change my career and my life.
Although I have a lot of obstacles for I'm living in Syria .. where many services like MongoDB & Firebase for example are banned due to the US Sanctions against my country. 😔
But I will keep learning and trying (Thnx to VPN) .. and would like to communicate with u guys and wish u all the best 🙏🏻😊❤️
Hello Tamim,
Welcome! I'm also aspiring to become a MERN developer too! It's such a shame that MongoDB is banned in Syria due to US sanctions. I hope you find a way to overcome all these obstacles and difficulties.
Good luck in your journey.
Hello Tamin,
Welcome into the community.
I already learn something thanks to you.
I did not know the MERN stack.
Thank you ! I hope you will achieve your goal to be Full stack web dev
👋👍
Wow, keep powering through!
Hey Tamim! Great to have you in the community.
I bet your legal background will prove very useful for you along the way, considering all the licensing issues in the open source software world
Hi DEV! I'm Steff and I'm here with the purpose of learning from the community and give back when I have the knowledge to.
My goal right now is to learn everything about how web and mobile applications are done from start to finish c:
Hi Steff! What languages do you like programming in? Are you interested in native mobile dev, or something like React Native or ionic?
Hi Steff!
Hi All,
Hope you doing great, I am Software Engineer (Javascript) with 10+ years plus experience.
Started my career as PHP as you all I believe ;) and now playing around with all javascript frameworks.
Awesome, welcome to DEV Abdul! Yes, a lot of webdevs got their start with PHP :) What JS frameworks are most interesting to you right now?
Started as Backbone JS developer when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Disappears and then switched to angular 2+ when google announce typescript support, and now playing with Angular 8+ and React & React Native.
Created a lovely writereader.com kids teaching tool in polymer Google web component library.
Hi Abdul! I can relate to that, I followed the same path as you. PHP is great for starting development :)
Good luck and welcome on DEV :)
Yes, PHP is damn easy language to start your career. At that time I have two option either to start with PHP or ASP.
I started PHP because of XAMPP One tool for everything to start with no additional step, configuration. ASP was a bit harder to configure as starter.
But in 2009 I switch to ASP.NET when Scott Guthrie announce ASP.NET and web service support [WebMethod] :).
Happy Coding, Nelwin. 👨💻👨💻
Hi
Hi, DEV!
I'm Cathy, and I'm a Senior Software Developer.
The last few years, I've been a Full Stack Developer. Recently, I've been focusing more on expanding my AWS knowledge.
My personal goals are to become a more active contributor to open source and to get some of the side project ideas I have off the ground!
I am excited to learn a lot from this community!
I've contributed once to open source...
To fix a typo in the documentation 🤣
Every little helps I suppose!
Any open source projects you're planning on focusing on specifically Cathy?
Sounds fun! Open source is definitely something I enjoy, and I think it's great that you'd like to become more active with it.
Hi, Cathy! OSS is cool, so join it and help to improve even more :) !
Welcome to DEV, AWS is always fun to learn about, I recently followed a blog called "Last week in AWS" it is a great resource to keep up with the ever changing AWS offerings.
Hi Cathy, that's a pretty cool goal! Good luck.
Don't know where I'd be without open source and node modules that other people wrote! 🤔
Hi Community, I'm Matthew and I am a software engineering student that uses mainly Python. I do web applications using Flask and MongoDB and I would like to improve my knowledge Python by mastering Flask and learning Django and databases in detail. Am also interested in Blockchain frameworks and cloud computing in the long term.
Thanks ✊🏾
Funfact: I love sports,business and pyschology too
Hi Matthew! What's your favorite psychology fact? :)
Hey guys! I'm a developer. I like biscuits. I work.
Sweet biscuits (like cookies?) or southern biscuits like this?
Both are valid choices, but I love the latter!
I much rather prefer cookies solely for the fact that those delicious looking treats are not yet available in my region, however we have something very unique that you may like to check.
Oh, no way! I like biscuits too!
Biscuits are amazing - and cover a very specific type of sweet treat here in the UK.
Hello. I am a french web developper, long time reader on dev.to. I created an account because I am planning to make a post about a very specific problem that a lot of people have using Gitlab continuous Integration. After some tinkering I found a solution so I want to publish it on dev.to and share it to people that have the same problem (they are many according to unresolved questions posted on gitlab's forum). Have a nice day !
Awesome, glad you finally decided to join! Have a nice day too :)
Hello DEV Community!! I am Paulo and I am a Business Analyst on IT teams. I do not work with actual code, I help developers by providing them business requirements.
I have a Quantitative Finance background (some C++,Python and R projects) but I am now fully following a Full Stack Knowledge path so that:
Looking forward for your guidance and support throughout this journey. Feel free to contact me, you can get my details at GitHub PABCon
Welcome to DEV! This is a great place to learn more about technical things, even if you're not an actual coder yourself. And who knows! Maybe you'll pick some up along the way :)
Thank you Chris! I am not a coder yet :) working to get there.
Hi I'm Kevin - I've been around IT for ages in the database world. Currently I am working with my son to build an ‘offline first’ app to help him in his career in the film world. I still love the ‘Oh I created that’ moment after designing, writing and running code as the outcome pops up on the screen - which now could be on my phone! Done a lot of Oracle and Python, Java etc in the past. I play Ukulele in my local Uke orchestra. I live in the Yorkshire Dales which is a beautiful part of Northern England.
Hello DEV!
joined a bit earlier, but finally posting...
I'm Caroline/c-line/Knilly, whatever.
Senior Software Engineer here, working for BuzzFeed Tech. Here to absorb what ya'll have to say. Maybe I'll post eventually. I sometimes try to stream on twitch, and I'm an avid TTRPG player (primarily D&D 5e). Fun Fact, my first adventure will be published as part of the Uncaged Anthology, Vol. 4 later this year.
Also, joiend to start our BF Tech presence here on dev.to -- be sure to give it a follow ;) dev.to/buzzfeedtech
Hi 👋
Hey welcome. Nice to see a fellow DnD player too 😄
Hey DEV! 👋 I'm Ninja and I'm a QA Lead in #GameDev. I consider myself an aspiring expert in the field of manual test strategies for #VideoGames. I'm a hobby coder trying to get better. I've googled my way into fluency in several different languages: C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL, & Python.
As a hobby coder, my coding network is relatively small. So I've been looking to branch out and make new connections and friends that are as passionate about coding as I am.
Additionally, most of my projects so far have been small, personal, and private. I'm at a point where I'd love to get more involved with a community, bring my coding skills up a couple of levels, and develop something fun that might get interacted with by someone who isn't me.
Peace, Love, and Source Code ❤️
Welcome to DEV Ninja! This is a great place to get connected with other coders - welcome :) Also:
is awesome! If you can learn on your own with just the Internet - then nothing is beyond your reach - It's a great skill to learn and perfect :)
Thanks for the warm welcome! I look forward to making some new connections and learning a thing or two during my time here!
That's some serious passion, that's a lot of languages! Keep it up 😄
Sup, I'm Ahmad, I'm a Junior Software Engineer, I know a somewhat decent amount of languages at least at a beginner level, and well my main one is Java, specifically like Spring Boot as a framework. I studied Software Engineer (institute) and am validating it with a university now (with a formal Systems Engineer bachelor title), still got a bit over 2 years to go. I just started working at a Fintech startup as a support software developer (I help on multiple areas on small projects).
Hope to get good enough to be able to get a job in Japan one day.
Hi Ahmad! Living and working in Japan is an awesome goal. What gravitates you to Japan? Is it their culture or their technological advances?
I love niche stuff, also sweets, plus I like the asian more "do your work" kind of thing, and I know already several friends that live there
Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is doing great!
It's Deeksha Sharma, I am a software engineer and life long learner. Currently investing my time in learning creative skills to make technology learning easy. This is something I never learned in my grad school or the companies I worked with.
I also draw illustrations in free time:
Great
Hey, DEV! I came here from the Hactokberfest post.
Hacktoberfest! Welcome to DEV Jason :)
also here for Hacktoberfest!
Hi DEVs,
My name is Jimmy and I use Afroshok is my vehicle for as a multi-faceted designer, developer and technology consultant. I work out of Nairobi in Kenya.
I have over 16 years of experience in web development, mobile applications and gaming. I started in graphic design before Adobe was on Windows, and now also do specifically infographics in print and web as well as motion graphics for broadcast and Web.
My stack is React on Django inside Docker. Now that confidence to code is at an all time high, I want to contribute more to the Open Source community.
Awesome! Are you going to take part in Hacktoberfest?
Hmmm,
I should. Let me settle in to the project I am on. We are using a open source repo so I see myself getting paid and participating in the Hacktoberfest. 😄
Hi DEV!
I am currently a CS student in my 3rd year and currently trying to get my hand on web apps with laravel and vue.js
Although things have not been as straight as I thought would be.
But hoping for getting stuff together qyickly 😊
Hi BAD_Malik!
Welcome to DEV!
Hi, I'm Sven. I'm from Tallinn, Estonia. Been developing web and software since the nineties, well over 20 years by now. I've been working at Fortune500 companies as an engineer as well as manager and also in smaller software companies. I've run my own business, too.
Last ~6 years I've been active in several startups. Currently I'm the Chief Engineer at InvestReal.com, a #proptech company. I'm also CTO of Prototypely.com, a startup foundry.
I share my time between work, my family and friends and my hobby - singing in heavy metal band HERALD.
Hi Sven! Welcome to DEV :) heavy metal band - interesting! How did you get involved with that?
Thanks for asking. In fact I've been doing music longer than coding. I co-founded my first punkrock band at highschool in 1991😎 And I created my first programs at highschool in 1992 or 1993 I guess. But I've been singing at choirs etc since 1982-83. Right now I don't sing at any choir any more but just in the band. 🤘😎🤘
That's awesome :) 😎
Hi DEV! I'm Jay, a french-speaking canadian from Montreal. I work mostly in python, but I'm still in High School. I plan on studying to become a software engineer and I'm a huge open source enthusiast.
I discovered DEV from the Hacktoberfest and I'm looking forward to learn more about this amazing community!
Have a great day!
Welcome to DEV Jay! Great to see that you're so involved and just in high school. Have a good Hacktoberfest!
Hi, My name is David. I've been following the blog for several days and I finally decided that I need to join the community. I'm a SysAdmin and Devops Engineer working renewable energies, mostly wind power. I'm based in Madrid, SPAIN. Enjoying to work with groovy and jenkins daily and happy to be here to meet and also maybe help others. :D
Welcome to DEV David! I have used jenkins in the past, but was never very good at it... do you have any resources that you like for learning it better? Thanks!
Hi Chris, for sure i'd recommend learning groovy.
Actually there are not many resources to learn, besides the official documentation. jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/share...
I started on from there, what I did was creating a parser in groovy to pop out the VMs I was automating from a YML config file.
Let me know if you're curious about something and maybe I can give some advice.
Regards.
Edit: This post is also quite good and extends over basics.

Hi DEV Community!
I am Greg, and I am a Software Developer fooling around with Java and JavaScript (React ❤️)
I am based in Europe (been around Poland and Switzerland) and enjoy working on side projects, with my recent dedicated developer job board: swissdevjobs.ch/ 🇨🇭
In the free time I love playing football (soccer as some say) and eating cupcakes 🍰
All the best!
Welcome to DEV Greg! What's your favorite type of cupcake? :)
Haha Chris, probably these:
I totally get what you mean about being overwhelmed! 4 PRs is a lot when you're not just looking for low hanging fruit.
Moving in the game dev direction sounds awesome! I've always wanted to write a story line for a game — I wonder if game creators are open to folks contributing storyline ideas over GitHub. 🤔
Anyway, best of luck to you in finding the right project to contribute to this Hacktoberfest!
Heyo! I'm Lee a DevOps focused platform engineer working for IBM and Hacktoberfest this year brought me here.
I'm presently learning a bit of Go and a bit more on Kubernetes.
Fun fact: I have one of only 10 '96 Nissan Stagea cars remaining in the UK which is neat :D
Hacktoberfest! Great to have you :) Ha - how did you find out that you own one of the only 10 remaining Stageas in the UK?
There's a site in the UK called Howmanyareleft.co.uk which takes public data on cars that are on the road or SORN from the DVLA and displays it in a neat format. Currently there are 7 on the road and 3 SORN off/untaxed and to my knowledge mines the only one that has an LPG conversion which is neat.
Ah - neat!
Yes! 💪 Coming in at v42, no better thread.
Hello 👋, DEV. My name's Andrei and I might be the odd one out as I started engineering with C++ and I'm in awe whenever I find out how little I know of it.
But I think we should all struggle to innovate and C++ is willing, but kind of slow 🐌 in that regard.
So I've been looking at modern languages and I think you can do anything ranging from embedded to web with Rust & Dart+Flutter, but D & Go are reasonable compromises in some cases. So I'm all about
out with the old, in with the new. What do you think?❓ Should we be happy with good old C#, Java, Javascript, Python, PHP?I also love automating work tasks or everyday chores with
#!/bin/bashso keep an out for those posts.Hi Andrei! I think you should use whatever makes you happy and productive :) If you're not liking C++, then go try some others! And good luck :)
Hi, I'm Sandino, currently studying Software Engineering in Brazil. I love to learn new stuff about development. Since the last year I've been focusing in javascript and nodejs, and I'm very happy with my progress since then. I like to know how the things works and make useful comparisons between languages to understand better how each one works. I don't interact a lot in communities, specially world-wide communities like this, so I'm hoping to learn a lot of things and change this interacting more.
Hello, i am an IT dilettante. Just cuz I delight in something doesn't mean it's all superficial ;)
Recently I've caught up on a few articles on this site and wanted to like one of them and then bing bang boom! I'm here.
My general interests are JS, Svelte 3, web app developemt, containerisation and data science.
Welcome to DEV! I've wanted to try Svelte but haven't dipped in yet - what do you like about it?
1) React / Vue like component goodness without the bundle bloat of React / Redux etc cuz the templates and dependencies are all tree shaken before being compiled to plain JS bundle which ONLY has the bare minimum code (whats left after the shake) to make the pages function blindingly fast.
2) A flat learning curve - they have (apparently) a similar structure to vue components.
The svelte templates are a little handlebrs-ish and if you've ever used Meteor.js there's a familiar reactiveness about it
Fun fact Evan You used to work for Meteor.js and peeled off when they introduced support for React.
3) You have SSR with Sapper but you're not wedded to it and it just generally makes sense to me compared to JSX.
I haven't looked back since.
OH and it has it's own online REPL to try wired and wack things out with.
svelte.dev/
Huh, interesting! Yeah, I definitely should check it out. Thanks!
I saw an ad for the Hackathon from Quincy Larson’s (freecodecamp) freecodecamp.org/ list of links. It is being hosted by DEV and Digital Ocean. I wasn’t sure if I had to start paying to read the Digital Ocean stuff, so I clicked on the DEV link instead, and ended up here. I read a nice article about data structures that was understandable, so, I decided to join. I also want a free tee shirt, but I don’t think I know enough to participate in the Hackathon (but I will anyway.)
Hello everyone,
I have recently started my journey as a programmer working on various projects mostly using Python and Java. I am still working towards my degree in Computer Science but I am very excited to be apart of this open source community and continue to enhance my skills as a developer. I am also interested in game development and have played around with tools such as Unity and Blender but I would like to learn new things about other peoples experience.
Welcome to DEV Noah! What types of games are you interested in making?
Hey! I'm Bryce! I'm the lead front end developer at McAfee for our Gamer Security product. I stumbled across dev.to while scratching my head on some react stuff... Seems like there's a lot of decent insights here and I'm pretty stoked for all the learnings to be had! Here's my codepen for some fun. I haven't worked on it in a long time, but it's still good to sift through! codepen.io/brycesnyder
Hi Bryce - welcome to DEV!
Interesting - I hadn't heard of "Gamer Security" before - what's that?
We actually have been working on it for the past year, and it was just released the other week, so it's relatively new! I did work on the main LiveSafe product and a bunch of other things including our TrueKey prior!
Ah, interesting! I'll have to check it out :)
Hello dev! I'm gidmak, I have some experience with Dotnet but I'm currently learning and working with php mostly. I have a degree in computer science. I look forward to learning from and contributing to the open source community.
Fun fact about myself...I don't know this but I will learn it and I will do it.
Hope y'all have a great day
Hi Gideon - welcome! I love the attitude that you'll figure it out and learn it :)
Hi Chris. Thank you for your kind words. Looking forward to learning from you and other experts here and contributing as well
Hello DEV Community!
This is Aman, pursuing computer engineering in Junior year. A developer who is in love with python and good with web development.
Random fact about me : Initially at the age of 11 yrs, I wanted to be a HTML developer then after some years I realized HTML is not a programming language (awkward silence)-my whole life was a lie...
Now actively working with Python and Web technologies and crazy about competitive programming, data structures and algorithms.
Welcome to DEV Aman! Good luck with the rest of your education :)
Hi!, new guy over here. My name is Fidel and I'm a Chemical Engineer and self-taught programmer.
Right now working on my webdev skills, looking forward to participate here with you all and keep learning.
Welcome to DEV Fidel! Are you looking to use webdev skills as part of your chemical engineering?, or are you looking to switch careers?
Ideally, I would love to work developing apps (web/mobile/desktop) related with chemical engineering or engineering in general.
I have 8 years of experience working as a field engineer in the oil industry, my main focus is to distance myself from that industry for ethical reasons, I believe we should do everything we can to lower our dependency on fossils fuel.
I also always felt a high interest in software development, so if I ended up working for a couple of years as a web developer I will feel very good because that would be a great learning opportunity.
In the end, I believe that the most probable and interesting path for me to take is to work as a developer for some time, improve my skills and then find a way to blend chemical engineering and software development.
Thanks for asking.
Yeah, that sounds like a great plan - since you have so much experience in one field, it would be awesome to apply that in your software development career too!
Hey 👋
Nice, thread 42! That's a good number to make an introduction :D
I'm Cyril, a web developer.
I've built and sold a few services including VoilaNorbert, Transferslot and Selldom.
I'm currently working heavily on
Happy to chat if you have any questions :)
Great projects Cyril! Keep it up.
Thank you :)
Hello Dev,
This is Harshith, 3rd year CSE (Integrated BTech+Mtech)student at JNTUHCEH, Hyderabad.
In search of Hacktoberfest event, I landed in this community. I love the concept of open source contribution. I dream of participating in Google Summer of code 2020-and eager to connect to people who could guide me in my journey and also accompany me in peer learning.
Welcome to DEV! Hacktoberfest should be fun :)
Hey everyone, I'm new here and trying to figure out how to use this DEV thing. I am simply in love with the layout haha.
I'm currently working with React, React Native and Xamarin. Well, just passed by to say hi!
Welcome to DEV Marlon! Interesting that you use both React Native and Xamarin - what do you think about the difference between the two? Which is your favorite?
Well, I personally prefer React Native, but it's probably because I'm just more used to it since I develop in RN for quite some time more than I do in Xamarin. The company where I currently work mostly used and gives preference to Microsoft technologies so since Xamarin was acquired by Microsoft they just grabbed it
React Native community is much bigger and I feel like I can rely on it more than I can on the Xamarin community (github can prove what I'm saying). On the other hand, I have a feeling that Xamarin is less likely to throw errors out of nowhere and it is more stable. One thing I dislike about React Native is that it gets updated very often, which is for a good reason, but that usually causes libraries that you're used to using on the environment to break due to incompatibilities.
Thanks for the insight! Yeah, that's the one thing I don't like about React Native :) - it's no fun when updates break libraries...
Hi *,
I'm Markus, a Dev in Berlin working on eCommerce projects.
My main area of work is backend with Java and Spring Boot.
Looking for a place to learn & share, connect with people who care about the way and what they work on.
Hi, my name is David, I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a large experience with C#, Kotlin, Angular, Javascript and Typescript. I'm mostly interested on Web and Mobile Development. I like to try new stuff but I not consider myself a "early adopter". For now I am studying Functional Programming with F# and trying to learn a few about DevOps.
Hello DEV,
I have been doing System Integration for over 30 years. I have primarily been using proprietary coding language only used in the System Integration tool. Would like to learn some new language to better my self and possibly get me a new job.
Don
Hello Dev Comunity. This is Rakib currently working as a Help desk technician. Really interested in learning programming. I started with #Python.
Welcome to the community Rakib! Python is great to start with. Good luck!
Thank you.
Please let me know if have any suggestion.
The best suggestion I have is to just do a lot of playing! Make small little projects that interest you, and you'll end up learning a TON, even if the project seems silly at first.
From there, just start making larger and larger projects.
Have fun!
Thank you.
Hi,I'm Awais, I'm working as Data Analyst and I'm trying to learn some language.Please help me to get my hands on python.
Please also suggest me should i go for PHP or Stick to Python (Main concern is back-end coding)
Each language has it's own flavor and mentality about it. Overall, they are pretty similar. I would consider dabbling into a couple just to find one that fits your way of thinking. C or Perl or PHP or Python, etc. each fit better to each person. Find one that rock and rolls for you, learn it and then all of the rest will easily fall into place. Learning a second or third language is really easy after the first one.
Thank you so much @cpben .i will do it for sure.
Hi, I'm Saif, I'm teacher at vocational high school in Indonesia. I teach programming there, so i'd like to deepen my knowledge here. I do occasional programming though, but it is only simple system like student registration system or program to manage my student's homework. I use php and it's framework like codeigniter or laravel to code but I'd love to learn other language/framework too.
Regards, Saif

Hello DEV community. I am a Senior Java Programmer with full-stack experience.
Mainly interested in Spring Boot, Grails, Groovy, Hibernate and frontend technologies. I am also a technical author on acerocrowns.com/acero-3s-posterior... writing about pediatric dental crowns.
Welcome to DEV! Java + pediatric dental crowns is quite an interesting combination :) - how did you get involved in that?
Hi DEV ! I am Senior Software Engineer working especially with JavaScript ( React, Angular Framework, Asp.net, SQL Server. I aspire to be an expert in Angular and React, and be a full stack developer. I also would like to contribute something to the dev community who aspire to become a software developer.
Hey guys,
I'm Kingsley and i've been coding for a couple years (mostly machine learning). Lately i've been doing some backend development and my aim is partake in more challenging projects and build apps that actively use machine learning.
I'm also actively looking to get my first job software development but most job postings are vague and it seems like companies want too many things from developers so i need tips from OGs here on how they did it.
Also, before i started i coding i was learning and working on becoming a chartered financial analyst.
Welcome to DEV Kingsley!
Yes, it can be tough to get a first job in software dev; but it sounds like you have a couple years of coding experience, so that should make it a bit easier. Here are some of my tips:
You will get rejected from a lot of jobs, and a lot of companies will just never respond. Don't get discouraged! You only need one company to say yes - so keep applying
It's true that companies like to see developers that can do a lot of things - but that doesn't necessarily mean that won't hire you anyway... so apply! Let them say no to you (meaning: don't count yourself out before even applying!)
Make sure you have something public they can look at that demonstrates your skills. That might be a portfolio, or a blog, or a few public projects - but it goes a long way if they can see something that you've built.
Good luck! Just keep applying to jobs and learning... and you'll get there :)
Hi DEV my name is Alex and I have made a career switch from data analyst to web developer. Currently spending time with Gatsby. I hope I can connect with like minded peers at DEV, learn more others and perhaps help other developers too.
A fun fact about me, I have swapped my Netflix subscription for a Front End Masters one! XD
Alex - welcome to DEV! Ah, swapping Netflix for Front End Masters is a great move :) Good luck with the career switch!

Okay, so I'm Pravunath Singh. I'm really passionate about Web Development, IoT and chatbots! Also I'm a huge startup fanboy, with a dream of creating a product using my field of interests which would at least touch a thousand lives, if not a million. I've always considered ML/AI as a blackbox but now I've started to think otherwise and would love to explore this field. One thing I strongly believe in is learning through experience so I'm ready to collab in anything which has got something related Web or IoT or Chatbots. PS- Forgot to mention, Memes are love and so is Astronomy
Hey! I'm Maria and after months of reading articles on this website I finally decided to sign up😅. I'm a CS college student and I work part time. I occasionally do some python projects and I develop in this obscure language called deluge. I want to be a bit more involve the tech community. I want to learn a lot from all this cool website can offer. 👾 I hope you're having a nice day. OHHH and I also want to learn Japanese so if you have something for that I would appreciate any tips.
Welcome to DEV! 👋

Hey,
Nikhil this side. I am a Full Stack Engineer (mostly deal with requirements, designs, frontend and not much backend).
Think | Design | Create | Innovate
I believe in above line (pipe separated words😅)
Let's start by sharing most crazy errors you guys faced.
Hello everyone, my name is Usama and I am a self taught software developer currently working full stack with react and typescript in Germany.
Not so fun fact: I took a C++ course as part of my curriculum of Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering and ever since, have been teaching myself different new technologies. I decided to dropout of my Masters course in Physics and Engineering and start working as a Developer.
I'd be very interested to collaborate in open source projects 👩💻 I have already been a part of the FreeCodeCamp contributors team where I developed the (probably old) ES6 and Functional Programming part of the curriculum.
I hope you all have a good day and I look forward to connecting with you all 😍❤️
Usama 🙏🏻
That's great
I'm currently working as Lead Mobile Application Engineer in Seven Software Development company in Islamabad Pakistan. My core skills are to develop applications on Native Android. Also I did work on apps using React Native platform and now a days working on Flutter platform as well.
I believe to work in a dynamic, professional and enterprising environment this will provide me the potential for advancement and increased IT skills, decision-making responsibilities through consistent learning under the business and IT leaders.
Welcome to DEV!
Interesting that you've done native Android, React Native, and Flutter - how would you compare all of them? Which is your favorite?
Great to be here. I have been brought here by a simple but informative article about 6 things you probably did not know javascript could do natively
I am a backend developer, with keen interest in machine learning.

👋 Hi DEV!
I'm Dima Kurilo, and I'm Senior Web Engineer. Whatever it means.
I mean, I really not sure if I understand it. I worked on really different projects. Such as, for example, SCADA system, video surveillance system, Front-End projects, different Back-End projects etc.
You can check my GitHub: github.com/DKurilo/ to see small part of what I can do.
I want to switch to functional programming languages like Haskell.
But you know, I have that PHP curse and it's not easy to escape it.
But I'm working on it.
And I'm love to develop things. So If you have any crazy idea about to develop something, write me. Maybe I can help with it.
Fun fact.. Well. You can find me here:

👋 Hi DEV! I`m Sergey, Software Engineer (for now, mainly JS & Python) from Ukraine, Lviv. Currently I an working on a developer's portals and API docs product and that feels unexpectedly entertaining :)
Here I am looking for some discussions regarding algorithms, tech and so on. Also, I am curious to participate in other open-source projects, so feel free to contact me as it tikes much time to scan through GitHub. May be related to other tooling as that seems quite interesting and useful.
Btw, if there's some cool slack/telegram/etc group with high activity related to such topics -- would like to hear :)
Not much in a topic of this group, but also I really love traveling and mountains, so may be we will meet somewhere once :)
Hey folks, I'm Brent!
I'm currently an engineering manager/leader at a pretty big company. I'm actually kind of a meta-manager since I manage managers and even managers of managers! At this point I read more code than I write, and I try to keep up with some of the latest ideas and tech with little side projects. I like many languages including go, obj-c, python, and js. I also generally like web stack stuff, though I often feel it's gotten too complicated and I worry about how huge and fast moving it can be for people just learning. One of my general professional interests is in creating tools that give people more power and leverage so they can do exciting things quickly and easily.
I've been lurking on dev.to for awhile now and I really appreciate what an inclusive and positive extended community this is. I'm also a dad and partner, and I like reading books, fixing bikes, hiking, and gardening, and recently I've been getting into powerlifting. Looking forward to chatting. :)
