Codefitness21

Hello! It's a pleasure to virtually meet you all! My name is Kelly and I am currently a personal trainer, nutritionist, and metabolic technician at Life Time Fitness. I have developed a deep interest in combining health and fitness with technology to facilitate client improvement in health and nutrition.

I am currently exploring my interest in the tech sector and seeking the assistance and mentorship of others. I am learning to code and I have been engaged in creating a fitness app with a colleague. I am looking to acquire more related experience in the area where fitness and technology intersect and then ultimately become a complete full- stack web developer.

I would be truly grateful if I could explore my interest with you all and learn more about my career options in the technology sector.

Thank you and happy new year!

Welcome to all! 👋

If anybody needs help with anything or has any questions, feel free to ask away.

For instance, if you're wondering how to post an article, check out this helpful tutorial @chrisachard wrote:

Or if you're curious about how that embed above 👆 works — it's a liquid tag! — you can see the Markdown to make that happen and more in our Editor Guide.

Again if any questions come up, don't hesitate to reach out. 😀

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! I've been hooked to this platform ever since I started exploring the idea of becoming a software engineer. I'm excited to connect, share and give/receive support as I embark on my journey to becoming a software engineer (going the self-taught route).

I'm currently a work-at-home and homeschooling mom with a background in Materials Science & Engineering. I also have been blogging over the past 12 years. My coding journey began when I started launching Wordpress-based sites.

I'm interested in enhancing my tech skillset so I can shape a more flexible career that is beneficial for my entire family. After exploring coding bootcamp options, I've realized that the self-taught route is what will work best for my lifestyle right now. I'm absolutely open to any resources that were helpful to those that went the self-taught route to becoming a software engineer!

I look forward to connecting with you all!

mpuckett profile image
Michael Puckett

I’m mostly self taught! And you’re already an engineer so it should be much easier for you. 😅

I think a good starting point is knowing how to fiddle with examples. One great site for that is called JSFiddle. There are others too. I really like Codepen. If you are curious, you can just change things and see what happens. If something breaks you can just refresh. After that you will want to get a local environment set up. You might want to have a goal of getting NPM installed on the command line and then using Create React App.

The other starting point will be getting good at reading documentation and googling for explanations. I think the React and Vue docs are both pretty good. And I end up on Stack Overflow for specific solutions to problems many times throughout my day.

Cheers!

Hi all, my first venture on to the internet as a developer.

I have been working as a dev for 3 years and enjoy using microsoft technologies.

I was drawn here from reading posts suggested by Google recently on my news feed and really enjoyed this website.

My goals for this year are too learn more about Blazor server and then when its ready, Blazor web assembly.

Thats an awesome goal, Kyle? What will you do once you learn more? What will you do with that skill?

kyleuk profile image
Kyle-uk

Thanks f0r taking an interest!

I spend all my time working on a legacy app, so I don't get to improve my dev skills in my day job as much as I should and never start anything from scratch.

I can see that Blazor will be something new that will fundamentally change the .Net development approach. I hope to learn a skill that will avoid me having to dive into the JS technologies too much and give me an edge once jobs are asking for it, something my day job doesn't currently do.

Once I know more, I will use it to develop small websites to help speed up my greenfield development as I never get to start anything from scratch.

Howdy Folks. I have about 24 years of experience in IT and development. I have a ton of knowledge ranging from C#, patterns, refactor, DevOps, Web, SQL, Automated Testing etc.

I have over the past 4 years help guide a refactor/restructure project which involves a giant monolithic suite of applications. We now have a very well structured backend, API, CI/CD, Tests and Code processes. DevOps baby. I was hoping to write about that experience here with a few articles as I have learned many lessons that should be shared with a community. This looks like the right place. Take care for now.

Anthony Coyle - *~°🚛Keep On Truckin'🚛°~*

Hello y'all 😃

I'm a long time reader and decided to finally join. I mostly code in C++ and aspire to be a published game dev some day. I make pixel art, but I'm no artist. Sometimes making the pixel art is harder to do than the programming.

I have my associates and would like to go back to school to get my bachelor's degree. I'm currently teaching myself Java, Python, and some of the more advanced C++ concepts and graphics libraries. I'm a dog person, though cats are cool too. I'm also a fairly chill and mellow person.

I'm also very passionate about wanting the world to have, at the very least, a basic literacy in CompSci and basic programming concepts. I believe that in the modern age where we all interact with computers everyday, a basic literacy in programming is just as important as knowing how to read, write, and do basic math.

I've thought about possibly becoming a teacher for middle school children and
would want to teach them computer science concepts. I think it would be awesome if I was the influence for a kid to choose the path of a software engineer.

I look forward to what we can all do for each other to become the best programmers and people we can be. I like to try and see the potential and best in people.

The LadyBug pod got me here. It's kind of weird bc I'm majoring in mechanical engineering but I did just start working for an network admin company and am coding in my role.

I'm learning CMD, AVR hoping to move to Cortex or alike, stretching I'll do some tensorflow later in the year.

Hello World!,

I am new to this community and still learning my way around. I started teaching myself web development about 15 years ago with HTML4, CSS, and vanilla JS. I had no idea at the time how much I didn't know. After making some simple pages that never made it to a server, I stopped for almost a decade and got a job, and started a family. That was fine except for the fact that it was a dead end job that couldn't teach me anything else, my brain was not being used, and I couldn't afford California cost of living. So in 2017, I went back to school full-time, while working full-time, and recently I graduated with my AA in IT, majoring in programming (UoP online). Since then, I've been doing my best to not let the information I've obtained go idle, but it's difficult when I work 40+ hours per week in an unrelated field and taking care of 3 children the rest of the week.
This is why I'm here. I joined this community in an attempt to find people to collaborate with, maybe make some professional connections that can help me drastically change career paths. I hope I've come to the right place because I currently don't have anyone in my life that understands anything about web/software development.

I am open to any suggestions (or job offers) on how to trade my 40+ hour/week unrelated job for a career as a developer.

If you've made it this far into my post without scrolling past, thank you for taking the time to read this and have a marvelous day.

I'm Samuel. I've been wanting to learn JS for a while and i just thought why not start now and here at devCom. I'm not really much of a writer nor a good dev but i chose to join this community to learn from the pros and probably document my progress through my learning period.

Hi friends, I'm Fabian. I'm a marketing analyst interested in becoming a front-end developer. Long story short, I feel that a more rewarding career for me would be one that involves creation, which coding naturally lends itself to.

I decided to listen to 13-year-old me who once self-taught himself HTML and built a website. I can't recall why I dropped coding as a kid but what matters now is that I'm fully devoted to starting from scratch.

I'm excited to read everyone's content. I have quite a way to go before I can call myself a front-end developer, but I'm soooo excited thinking about the work I'm going to put in to become one.

First time here all thanks to an article I just read and wanted to comment in. Also, been passionate about web dev and programming (please let's not make that distinction an issue) for years now but never really got serious about it. So I purpose to change that this year.
