Hi everyone! i’m Fernando, one of the main developers at MailVibes, a Chrome extension that can help you improve your Gmail workflow, using tools like mail or link tracking, email templates and mass email.
After months of reading tons of post, I've finally took some time to sign up haha, I hope we like each other... I love Javascript and everything that can help me boost my productivity, even a little!
Welcome to DEV!
Hi

Hi Everyone !
Hello! :)
Speaking about loving everything that can help to boost productivity - it's really a great way to go!
Hi Fernando :-)
Welcome!
Great job!
Suggestion: Add option to get notified when someone replies to a certain email.
There are so many extensions that track clicks, opens, etc.. but I couldnt find a single one where you can mark an email as "Notify me when replied". This would be helpful, if the email reply depends on a time sensitive matter and you need to take action as soon as the reply comes in. The alternative now is, going back to gmail every few min to see if that particular email was responded to.
Thanks!

Hello!! I wanted to learn javascript but being a C# Dev, javascript seems little uneasy for me haha. Wish I could being it someday.
Hi avidme. As a developer who came from the .NET world, I can tell you that you fears thankfully not real. Javascript is probably the easiest language to learn, apart from python. Mastering it is more nuanced, but you'll generally do fine
You should definitely take the plunge and yes you would have to learn es6... but you could start by learning typescript as the syntax to C# is almost identical. It’s not the usual way of learning JS but it could work and Typescript is awesome.
that's an awesome tool!
Heyy :)

Hello, Juan Fernando!
Hello!
Hi, all. I'm Will. I got my BS in CS in 2015 at the age of 41...and I'm not using it. I have about a year and a half of professional programming experience. A bad experience at my first programming job really shook my confidence. Rather than risk my family's status I'm working for half of a dev's starting salary as a marketing technical resource. But I want to code. It's time to get back into the swing of things. I'm looking for an active community to help me steer my learning, and hopefully pay it forward when I can help in return.
Hi Will, Welcome :) I hope You can Learn and Get a Job, EDX is free , UDEMY and PluralSight is paid.

this seems useful
You didn't ask for advice, but it's worth keeping in mind that your experience outside of programming is just as valuable to the right company as it would be if you hadn't had a career detour. You might want to quantify the sorts of things you've worked on, but the ability to walk into an interview and show that you understand the "big picture" of how features are going to land with users (or how to find out) on top of being able to do the literal work is a big deal.
Hey don't fear, there are some who have been programming a lot longer and are still bad at their job. Some times it's their code, some times it's their attitude... at least you can fix the prior.
Stay humble, keep learning, be thankful and always look for little ways to make yourself useful (ideally by working some sort of programming into whatever job you have -- amazing how you can do that these days). I know you will go places. The fact you allowed your confidence to be shaken (rather than just blaming others) tells me you are just the kind of dev I want to be working with some day.
Hey Will!! Welcome to Dev! Its time to get your confidence back because if you made all the way through your bachelors at your age, im sure you can get back on track and learn new things here! I've learned a ton from a site called Udemy. theres paid and free courses that cover all the necesary topic to get you started on any particular language! So start coding! and enjoy!
All the best!
Welcome Will. Quick comment for you -- I went all through my career without the typical college degree. Last position I held was R&D Engineer in charge of making prototypes and walking new product through design, development and industry certification. Not terribly bad for an "uneducated" guy. Hint: It's not about your pedigree or lack of credentials; it's about NOT GIVING UP. If Engineering were easy, we'd all be in movies. It's often quite hard. There will always be personal and technical challenges that can tear you up and spit you out.
You only lose when you quit and tell yourself that you can't do it.
Take it from me, it's been VERY difficult for me to get jobs w/o a degree in the past, but when I landed them, I set out to win and keep winning by deciding that I would not give up and do whatever it took to learn / understand new things.
That was especially difficult for me back when I deliberately quit management and started a job as a contract engineer. I had a new home and an 18 month old daughter. Talk about stressful.
Here's the thing: Prayer, dedication and not giving up. Drop the distractions and go back, mister. You CAN do it.
Good to see you here Will. "Age is just a number", we can all do wonders with enough conviction. Welcome to the world of devs!!!!
I am just starting coding for fun. I am sure with your experience, you will find what fits.
Hello, Will! Keep everyday hustlin' youtube.com/watch?v=JU9TouRnO84
Hey All! I found out about DEV from a YouTube comment and hope to find my place within this developer community.
Last year I left my job as a Software Engineer to pursue coding my own projects. My all-time favorite language is Java - and you can't convince me otherwise. Similar to what I did in college, my primary interests have reverted to machine learning & artificial intelligence.
I use Arch, btw.
How do you see ML/AI compare to SWE in terms of "worthy" ness? :D
I'm currently on Andrew Ng's Coursera course, and you shouldn't miss it, pal. Have a good day!
I see both as being very worthy in their respective areas. Automating tasks is important, just as is knowing statistical patterns of data. I'm just so in love with research & math that my natural progression in this field must lead to ML/AI. But I could talk about this all day lol.
Are you referring to Andrew's Machine Learning course? I hate to be "that guy" that says he already knows (my brother does it to me all the time), but I'm familiar with it! I added it into this "open source" CS degree I put together a while back. I'll have to take a deeper look now that I have the time!
Glad to see you here!
What's up Forrest! Your channel's dope.
I've been shown the ways of the Java recently and it's just something about statically typing... Are you gonna use Java for machine learning and AI?
Hey Tracy! Much appreciated. Yea, I'm using Java as my primary ML/AI language.
Hi! Long-time DEV reader, finally took the plunge and started contributing articles. By day, I write about maker projects over at Electromaker.io, and on the side I cover consumer tech (streaming devices, smart home tech, Linux tutorials, etc.) on Tech Up Your Life and movie/TV/album reviews on Cup of Moe.
I'm learning some basic JavaScript for fun/personal edification, and enjoy watching cult films while cuddling with my dog when I'm not banging away at my keyboard.
Great to have you!
Cool welcome!
dope, welcome!
Those maker projects look pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Hello all! Greetings from Indonesia! I am a former Chemist. Yeah. No computer science/engineering background at all. Have a little interest on programming. Realise I only live once, try to take small step to become a programmer. Now I realised, do code is interesting for me. But do code that used as problem solver is like a priceless feeling for me. Hope I can learn and share in this community. Thanks for having me!
Hi Indonesia fellow! What a good decision to took a "programmer" journey. Super exciting stuffs on tech world ahead, and be sure to keep learning everyday! Good luck.
Sure! Thank you, Juan!

Hello! Everyone!! I'm a junior Web Dev from India. I work on projects with AspNet Mvc, AspNet Core. I love sharing ideas and discussion. I was hankering for some friendly Dev community where I can contribute and learn from. I hope I can make my place here in and contribute to the community.
Devs,
Was just browsing Twitter that led me here.
I work as Lead Technical Consultant working mainly in Dynamics 365 world. However, I mainly use C#, though in very limited capacity, for my developmental work.
I'm looking to expand my horizon beyond this now.
This looks like a promising community to learn a lot from and interact with.
happy to join us Ahmed .

Hello and welcome to Dev.to Community ! 👋🏼😉
Hi everyone, code newbie here. Graduate civil engineer but figured I don't wanna spend the rest of my life doing stuff I don't like cos Y.O.L.O, so here I am trying to get more out of the dev community. It's been amazing so far the amount of open source resources out here. Thanks to everyone for their hardwork.
Civil Engineer! That's pretty intense, are you wanting to change career or merge dev and civil engineering?
Career change
Hello, folks!
My name is Thiago and I'm one of the architects of LumisXP, the very first 100% Brazilian end-to-end #CustomerExperience management software.
I'm an old-school #Java guy, but I love to keep up with the latest tools (at least I try to 🙃).
I love the way front-end development is evolving in the latest years, mainly the #Javascript and all of the frameworks!
