He is 9 year old and non verbal but communicates so much through his eyes! ๐Ÿ™‚ It was a very difficult journey getting back from the dark place and start having dreams about working full time again. But will get there I guess. Oh yeah, I also love to write. But I havenโ€™t really written anything related to technology except this essay right here. ๐Ÿ˜„ Hoping to start my blogging journey here.

Hi Everyone! I used to be an analytical chemist for environmental compliance but after 12 years I decided to make a career switch. Iโ€™m a few weeks out from finishing bootcamp and I wish I had done it years ago. This is definitely what I want to be doing.

We learned JavaScript, C#, .NET core, React, and weโ€™re just about to start Redux. Then more React, an Indy project, and BOOM, out into the cold, cold world. More or less. ๐Ÿ˜

Now, having even the little bit of beginner skill I have makes me want to learn/make ALL THE THINGS and itโ€™s been tough to narrow down my scope of interest. I want to leverage my experience and Iโ€™m interested in designing better laboratory information management system UI.

Another thing Iโ€™ve thought about is automating more of my old job. Iโ€™m curious about whatโ€™s out there for automating sample prep and analysis and what writing that software looks like.

Anyway, back to studying!

My situation was very unique; I was working as a Reconditioning Manager at a car dealership, and we just started doing rentals on the side. I had been doing a lot of programming since I was 13 so I decided to make some web tools to help manage the rentals. The rentals became very profitable so the little car dealership converted to a rental car company completely and the owner asked me to design their website and build their internal tools.

I did that for about 2 years and I learned a lot. I also had a paid internship as a web developer for 3 months right before I got my current job. When I was job searching a really wished I would have gotten a degree. A lot of jobs that I wanted to apply for asked for one, but looking back on it over 90% of the companies I applied at gave me an interview because I had some experience.

The #1 thing that will get you hired over someone with a CS degree is experience. So my advise would be to go build things. Start with things that either interest you or are useful to you, maybe something that will help you be more efficient at your current job if possible.

I definitely fall into the `brand new to all things computer-related camp'. I have just started learning and choose the python book from Head 1st. Like the book and the series seems good. Really debating the benefits of learning a language first vs diving directly into a project. I know I will need to build projects and so on but to become more familiar with computing, it might be best to learn a language first. Thus better understanding the inner workings of this beast a bit better will make the project development a bit easier. It will never be easy, but maybe a bit easier.

Hi, I'm Mikolaj, a web dev lecturer, art lover, and now trying my luck with indie hacking :-) My stack lately has been JS, Node and Mongo, but now I'm exploring Elm with something serverless (Zeit Now, Amazon stack). Falling in love with functional programming, so I'd love to try something like Wookie web server (Common Lisp) _. Would love to connect with some FP programmers.

Hello folks!

I'm Maria from Colombia. I'm an electronic engineer and a passionate maker who loves to share general knowledge about the Internet of Things (IoT) through tech communities; sharing knowledge is the best way to learn ;)

I've developed a couple of IoT projects with C/C++, Python, and Javascript under different hardware platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Particle, among others. Also, I've tinkered with different communication protocols and standards specialized for IoT such as MQTT, Sigfox, LoRaWan to name a few.

I joined DEV because it's a really cool platform to connect with developers, to get inspired by reading your experiences, and keep sharing my knowledge!

I work full-time as a software developer, primarily using PHP and Javascript, but I also build things with Go from time to time. I also handle our company's hosting infrastructure, all on AWS.

I'm a firm believer in the notion that a day in which one doesn't learn something new is a day wasted, so I think a community like this serves a very important purpose in sharing knowledge and experiences in order to make us all better at what we love doing. I look forward to learning with and from all of you ๐Ÿ‘

Umar Malik

Hi guys, I'm Umar Munir from ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ. I have been a merchandizer, an SEO, and a Technical Content Writer among other things before I decided to leave everything for my passion and pursue coding. Because of my Communication Studies degree which is far from Computer Science unlike my interests, I decided to learn Front-End Development. Other reasons for choosing Front-End Development include; it's easier to learn, it would be an easier role to convince an HR for (for a non-CS graduate), it includes designing as well, I can test my designs in a browser without a virtual server, and I already know HTML and CSS. I want to learn Vue.js and not care about Angular or React but most of the jobs still require Angular or React so I might learn Angular first. I'm taking a professional course which ends on an introduction to Angular and till now we have reached Bootstrap. I hope we can learn and grow together. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hello Dev community,

Iโ€™m christan form london. I started learning javascript around 3 years ago and now Run a small development company (offkey-ltd.com) we build mostly react based tools and dabble in react native also.

Our current focus is on fintech products which gives rise to some amazing data science insights and so I have also been learning python (although yet to use this in production).

Weโ€™ve just release our first ever game on IOS built in c# using unity. For anyone that has an iPhone (apps.apple.com/gb/app/flat-earth-f...) itโ€™s an ongoing project and weโ€™ll be adding and developing more levels and features throughout 2020!

Iโ€™m here because I discovered an awesome d3 + react hooks video course. Iโ€™ve been looking for documentation on how to use d3 in the react environment and specifically in the new react stateless component environment and this has been great. Here is the link: dev.to/muratkemaldar/video-using-r...

Otherwise I am keen to learn and share all things react, javascript, python, three, d3, unity, c#.

Thanks for having me and really look forward to learning and sharing.

Christan

I'm here to connect with other people who want to make a great web product, no matter the content or technology. I love when people think creatively to make something efficiently, maintainable, and meets project specs. Great things happen when we invest time and energy into making our code, product, and presentation beautiful. Taking artisan-like ownership of what you develop is what separates good programmers from great ones.

Thought of start posting in dev since so long, But again, as I said I'm lazy I couldn't. Let's see how it goes. These days was busy in building a product. Let's see If I can contribute myself to the community.

Looking forward to sharing what knowledge I have and learning about new and interesting things from the community. :)
