Hey, I am Andrew and I am curently working on an education changing project. The problem is I am young and i do not have dedicated people to work with . Can someone help me with easy things ? Have a nice day :)

[Katie Nelson]

Hello Andrew. I suggest you make a post and describe in detail what you would like help with.

Don’t forget to include what languages and scripting you are using so that people with the proper skill set can respond.

Good luck with your project.

Hello Katie

Hi Ansh, welcome to DEV!

[Joe Giglio, Chief Remote Officer]

Greetings from North Carolina.

This website was recommended by a friend and I will be contributing some articles on remote work, QE and tech support.

I have been around for a while and tinkered with lots of technologies and frameworks. My current dev interest is Flask and Python but I am not religious about any of it... :)

[gyurisc]

Hi Joe, Nice to meet you!

[Davi Teixeira]

I came by recommendation too hahaha

[OLUWAGBENGA]

Looks like I'm the only one without basic tech or Dev knowledge here

[Animesh]

Don't worry most of us just started too, Good Luck on your journey.

[Adanma]

Nice to meet you Joe! I could also use some more reading on remote work.

[Sacha Moufarrege]

Hi, thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a 30 year old full stack developer at a PR agency in San Diego. I've been writing code for fun since I was in early elementary school and got hired as a web developer right out of high school.

My dream is to work at Google or Netflix some day, so I'm taking steps to become the absolute best software engineer I can be. A lot of the articles here seem like they could be useful, so here I am :)

[Felipo Bellotto]

You'll get there!

[Audra]

Software engineering is incredibly fascinating to me, and is something I like to read about. Maybe one day I'll start heading that route.

I wish you the best of luck with your career, and hopefully you get your dream job soon!

[Kim Young Dae]

I hope your dreams come true. 🙏🏿

[Adanma]

That's so awesome, and sounds like you have great dissipline and passion.

[Juan Castillo]

34YO Software developer / DevOps working on a small Mexican company that I co-founded 10 years ago. I work almost exclusively with Python and Django.

Mostly interested in learning and making contacts.

[Juan Araujo]

How is the company called?

[Juan F Gonzalez]

Hi Juan, great to have you here for making bigger the Latam tech community 🙌

[hariszulfiqar054]

Welcome Dude.

[Kim Young Dae]

I'd like to learn too. Have a good time here 🙏🏿

[JiGGy TyGa ☔️]

Can I work for you I’d love to learn. Thanks 🙏🏿

[gyurisc]

Hi Juan and Welcome!

[Harshal Shah]

Hello Everyone. I am Glad I am here. I am Senior Software Engineer and currently doing full Stack Development in Angular, Node or c#, MySQL or Mongo. In my free time, I write technical articles in platform called Blogpedia.

[Matnized]

How I arrived here is simple enough I was in the deepest Africa, an out of work person from Berkeley told me about a silicone chip with legs like a a centipede outlined in the sand causing big redundancy problems in the United States. In 1975 I set off to investigate I was on the road a long time before reaching SW UK with some tools reparing HDD, opened a computer repair shop 1984 first one south of Bristol, slowly I've been legging along ever since, that's how I am here from one jungle into the digital one without a compass. Where the feck are we?

[Davi Teixeira]

T.I IS A VERY CRAZY WORLD, welcome on board!

[eyeseaevan]

I find your story really cool. Thanks for sharing it! :)

[Kei Ohtani]

Hello, I found about Dev.to from one of articles on Qiita (a programmer community for Japanese speakers) talking about how fast Dev.to is. It seems like the community here is pretty cool. I am excited to be a part of it.

[Joseph Green]

Hello all you more experienced young people. I have studied programming off(0) && on (1) since I was very young (age > 50). I continue to study and practice everyday. While I am mostly unpublished, I love the constant learning, failing, trying, humility, and rebirth. Development reminds me of running a marathon up a mountain: Not a single step, not a small sprint, or a large stumble or fall, but always pushing forward. Development is learning to think and organize our thoughts and intentions into the material universe, an act of creation. It is about building order and beauty while the chaos monsters fight viciously to burn our time and devour us whole.

My goals are:

1. to publish my first full stack app using flask/python/mysql/nginx/docker/kubernetes/aws
2. to refresh and extend my javascript kung fu so that I actually successfully use it
3. to make peace with java
4. to help someone else get past a major hurdle in their life(I have been around and made more mistakes than anyone I have met)
5. to automate myself out of a job!
6. to learn
7. to teach

🏃

Hello and welcome to DEV!

[Adanma]

Hey Joseph! Code is challenging but what matters is you like doing it!

[Buddy Agyin 🦁]

What's up everyone!! Glad to be part of the community

[Sung M. Kim]

Welcome to DEV Buddy 👋

I see you worked on many projects and hope you could share problems you faced :)

[Buddy Agyin 🦁]

Thank you! :) I'm planning on sharing my experiences here and hopefully they'll prove helpful to someone

[Jesse M. Holmes]

Welcome, Buddy!

Welcome to DEV

[historian turned techie]

Hey everyone, I'm Christina from Germany and I just started learning how to code in December :) #codenewbie I just graduated with a MA in History but realised towards the end of it that that's not at all what I'm passionate about. I kept reading articles about tech and career changers and that's how I became inspired to try and make the change myself!

[Corbin Taylor]

Welcome to the platform, Christina! Hope you enjoy and, as always, I wish you luck on your coding journey. While I got into tech because I was looking for a career change, interacting with the community really gave me a boost of confidence and was just a lot of fun. You realize that there are all kinds of people from all sorts of backgrounds in the industry, which is really comforting to know if you're coming from a non-CS background.
