Hi there.
I literally discovered this community today and, but it looks like I like it a lot 😊
I work as IT Manager so programming is not my primary job, but I was always fascinating by the act of coding. I started with BASIC when I was a young boy and never stopped ever since. I slowly moved to more modern languages like VB.net and I recently took interest in PHP and LUA.

I am recently working on a custom MediaWiki installation integrated with WikiBase so I am heavily using LUA to customise the MW functionalities and I learnt PHP in order to contribute to some MW extension and I finally wrote one of mine.

I hope I will make some meaningful contribution to this site, happy coding! 🖖🏻

Lorenzo Guidaldi

Hi everyone! I am a junior developer from Italy, currently attending university in Rome and hoping to complete a Master's Degree in computer engineering by the end of 2020.

I have discovered the DEV community during winter and I have been amazed since. This place is great, not only for content quality, but also because it encourages people to open up, no matter their level or experience or general shy-ness, and this enables to come closer to "stars", or, in general, real people who build the tools on which all of us build other amazing things.
Having academic readings my primary source for learning since I started uni years ago, for the past months i have been reading LOTS of dev blogs daily, starting from this. It even pushed me on starting using my twitter account seriously to reshape my daily news-feed completely by following dev accounts and blogs. I think DEV.to somewhat started all of this - even before the quarantine was a thing here in Italy - and this (rather long) comment is my awkward way to acknowledge it.

So, since I'm here venturing outside my safe zone for the first time in ages (since I was a little kid on some game forum), I think i'll share some details on what I'm actually working during those days:

  • For my last uni exam, i'm building an interactive visualization based on data from a Marvel Universe wiki, which I crawled and refined through lots of python scripts. My goal is to display a timeline of the events of the shared universe between movies, tv shows and comics, highlighting the temporal interactions between the main characters. As I said, i'm using Python and Django to handle data and D3.js for displaying the actual DAG/timeline.

  • For work ( I write technical documentation for my company's product, a low-code development platform) I am focused on building a new website for our docs. We choose to migrate from Wordpress to a static generated site, and now I'm learning Eleventy and avidly scouting existing projects to improve my frontend skills in the meantime.

  • For my thesis, which started this month, i'm collab-ing with my company on developing a client generator for the systems built with our low-code platform. I'm studying Vue and GraphQL.

Wow, this turned out to be a pretty long comment, but I feel kinda relieved for pushing those things out of my head. I apologize for the verbosity and for any mistakes - as english is not my primary language - and I want to thank you again DEV community for encouraging me to write this. Cheers!

The Funnel strategy is based on using the combination of a Support hero and a Hard carry hero. Using this strategy, the support champion would be played in the mid lane while the Hard Carry takes the jungle to build the farm. However, the twist is that the Jungler would then rotate between the jungle and mid lane farm.

Hello, I am a game/web developer and owner of a software development company called Project FinalBoss Corp. I go to Lambda School at night in order to learn about webdevelopment and to get my feet wet with programming. Currently, the only skill set I have to offer my company is writing and art. I want to soon be able to cover all fields to give my colleagues some breathing room.

I came here out of curiosity as I've seen a video my instructor made where she went to this site as a demonstration for the React Browser Router. Otherwise, I never knew this site existed. I hope by coming here I can learn new things regarding programming that I can add in my tool kit.

hi all! my name is Thenessa (like "Vanessa" with a "T") & i work in ophthalmology with patients who have partial/full blindness, low vision & sight-threatening conditions. i am looking to transition from clinic into more of a data analysis/SQL role, but also interested in web dev, UX/UI & app development (actively looking for work!) before quarantine, i was supposed to help my clinic with data analysis so i completed a SQL bootcamp. i know HTML & CSS, & am currently learning Javascript & Flutter.

• as a pet project, i am building a web site to help patients who are planning on undergoing cataract surgery choose an intraocular lens implant that best fits their needs & daily activity (there are many options on the market & i've seen patients go through the process of getting a multifocal lens for example, & have it removed because they were unable to tolerate the glare from headlights.) i want to also develop this concept into an app that helps them track their visual activity to better inform this life-changing decision.

• i am super motivated to utilize my unique background & ever-growing coding skills to find my niche in the coding world! please don't hesitate to email or send me a msg. i am a URM in STEM actively looking for any work or a mentor. nice to meet you all! 👾🤎
