Hi everyone, thanks for letting me join here. I saw this is a good web discussion. I think is the best after I read it for a while.

I'm a beginner front end developer, I just started my career as a dev since mid 2019. I throw away my 8 years experience as an electrical engineer even though I have already become a manager in JABIL CIRCUIT, and start fresh as a dev.

I always loved computer since I was a kid, so I think it's worth it to throw away my previous career and become what I always loved. I hoped I could become a great developer and contributing to other devs like all of you.

Hello. I like your post, and it spoke to me in particular because my original major was Electrical Engineering! I was made to take a class in c++ programming, and it hooked me so much I changed my major to Computer Science. Good post. I look forward to meeting more like minded people on here.

Hello there!

I'm Renan, a 28-year old programmer from Brazil. I'm father of two wonderful girls, I'm graduated as a IT Manager (but thankfully I have no intentions on managing anything beyond my code) and I know a bit of this and a bit of that about PHP, SQL and JS.

I'm getting familiar on how stuff works here and someday I might feel confident enough to write something for all of you amazing guys, but for now I'll stick to asking and learning.

Hope to get more in touch with you guys, I feel that I can learn and give a lot here!

(greetings :all)

My name's Jeffrey Desir (written: jffrydsr) and I am, among the hyper-creative, conscientious and scatter-brained members here, not entirely sure what I .do.
eHrM Started real-life with a sprint in Behavioral Psych & Comp Sci (A.I. dreams), and limped the rest of the way to Applied Maths - & now a full-stack web-dev student at Lambda School **(Great but too late 😐).
eHrM I'm proficient in Java, Python, Ruby, BrainF*ck (no, jk. 😐) & HTML/(S)CSS/JS, though I love to code _specifically & primarily in **Clojure
.
EhRm I'm trying to formalize and share my writings in applied mathematics, TSO programming, philosophy/theology, and other pontifications in life.

Overall, I'm learning to connect "my selves" into a functioning unit and with other Selfs to practice collaborating and sharing ideas for my burgeoning freelance career in, you guessed, all of the things.

Fun Fact: I know I can't be alone in this superposition of career focuses with open-source more accessible and profitable than ever before, nor will it be the end of me. Yet, I still hesitate to press submit scared to step into the unknown, but after 4 revisions and this cafe closing; I'm here to grow new connections and wisdom for my life tasks that seems to involve just a little bit of everything.

not_jffrydsr profile image
@nobody

I've checked out the documentation and it seems like cleaner Java with some simplified and modern conventions - it seems to be widely supported and hostable which is nice but it almost reminds me too much of Java to not just use what I know, for the moment. :P What do you think of it? The standalone compiler thing is hard to wrap my head around.

Thread Thread

Fulton Browne

I personally like using much more than java, I can write the same code in half the time and everything gets automatically integrated with the build process, so you don't have to think about it.

not_jffrydsr profile image
@nobody

Yeah I think now it's worth getting into maybe in some coding challenges cause you're right, much less boilerplate and smarter class types. after learning Clojure I'm finding less and less utility in "regular" languages these days but it's also about the build flow so meh, everyone should already strive to be a polyglot IMO

Hi, everyone!

I've been lurking on Dev.to for a bit now, and I'm just getting around to finally saying hello. I started learning web development part-time with the Flatiron School in October, and I've been enjoying Ruby and OOP. I can't believe how much I've already learned! If you're an expert or a new learner who happens to be diving into the world of Ruby, let's connect. Learning is more fun with friends, and mentors are welcomed.

As a full-time job, I'm a senior graphic designer at a decently large custom apparel company in Dallas. Prior to that, I was a math teacher and a graduate researcher in philosophy and linguistics. I focussed in a field of philosophy called ontology, specifically in relation to issues in symbolic logic, philosophy of language, and philosophy of literature. If you want to know what that means, shoot me a message or comment below! I love to talk about it! While I enjoyed philosophy and language a TON, I really really enjoy coding. =]

Fun fact: I'm also a CrossFit and USA Weightlifting coach! If you've never tried it, I highly suggest it... CrossFit is intentionally data-driven and definitely resonates well with programmers, engineerings, and doctors... anyone who thinks analytically will enjoy it! I swear! If you've ever tried CrossFit or are really into some other form of fitness (e.g. yoga, F45, pilates, OrangeTheory), comment below. I love to hear about fitness journeys!

Howdy Katie and all! 👋 ...and Happy Holidays! .and so forth.

I am an oldster who is a slow learner, but I keep showing up.
In particular, I am interested in learning about Open Source Spatial Development, including cli, web, and console stuff. I lean toward the Python flavor of that genre, but would be interested in all things Spatial Development to be sure.

If I had to choose a fave library it would easily be GDAL > ogr.

Also, if anyone has an opinion on an open, friendly, active social chat area focusing in and of that world, please let me know.

One more thing: I am in the process of attempting to get a static site up and running and intend to use Hugo.

Hello everyone, I'm Anna

I've sort of been floundering the last 4 years, masquerading as a "Data Scientist", whatever that means, and decided to resign from my job today as the environment was generally not conducive to becoming better at anything other than procrastinating.

Currently I am reading Soft Skills: The Software Developer's Life Manual by John Sonmez, and it's become apparent to me I need to be more proactive in becoming a better developer/professional. Something emphasised in the book is the need to have an online presence, in the form of blogs, repos and general community involvement - not just for the visuals but because it helps you actually be a better developer.

Which I knew already, really, but I didn't want it to be true because I'm a big baby who can't be uncomfortable or face scrutiny of any kind. However, being told to do something by a book makes all the difference. So, here I am, taking the first step. Let's see if I can keep it up and make a real change for myself.

Hello World!

I'm Vladislav, but I prefer my alias Vladesire. I'm 17 and in programming only for 3 years, but you won't believe how much I love it.
I've written my first 1000-lines-of-code project on C++ (simple database, nothing special) and then decided that this is time to join some programming communities. And here I am.
I'm convinced we will make great things together!

Thanks Kathie Nelson and Hi everyone;)! I like to discover and learn new things, but due to the complexity I like also to read different opinions and get new impulses for development and orientation from people who are confronted with the same problematic and of course I'm also here for (my) encouragement. Languages I work most are still: PHP, MySQL, HTML, JS, CSS.

Hello everyone! I'm going to school to be a dev Sep 20 and I couldn't be more excited!! I've always loved comp and using Zanga when I was younger was really fun for me. I'm on my early 30's working as a public servant at a hospital here in Vancouver Canada and I've always thought something's missing with my life. I'm looking forward to learn from your experiences as a dev and hear your thoughts.

Heya! I'm Azalea and a noob where coding is concerned. Recently, I find that 'building' things up using 'languages' vibe with me more than trying to prove to seasoned academicians that my work is a 'unique derivatives'. I'm interested in web mapping and is currently learning HTML, JavaScript and Python to ease my day to day work. Landed on them and they can't shake me off since 2018.

I'm a self-taught programmer. I've been learning computer science for many years now on my own, and still learning. My major focus is on JavaScript as a web-developer.

Hi everyone!

It seems like dev.to is gaining traction and I want to be a part of the community! Popping in to say, 'Hi!'.

I'm a full-stack developer with 3 years full experience in programming, but over 10 years experience working in product and tech. I'm a front-end specialist, but I can do back-end when called upon. I have expertise across the domains: product design, UX/UI, and software engineering and I'm just at home discussing projects, problem solving and requirements with customers as I am making the software and developing interfaces to delight.

I love to work with Vue.js and React, NativeScript and React Native and I'm currently learning Dart+Flutter, Go and Python. Let me know if I can help you out with a hobby project or just something cool!
