Hello there! ๐๐ผ
My first encounter with a computer was a big a** IBM mainframe in National Iranian Oil Company offices in Ahwaz, Iran, around 30 years ago! From that day on I've been playing with things that compute ๐
Heyoo! ๐ Welcome to DEV.
Sup)
Wow!!
Welcome!!!
I worked with Big Blue for nearly 10 years, Actually really liked it there. Only left due to personal circumstances. Still keeping an eye on the boards for an open position so I can try to go back again.
Welcome to dev
Hello Veteran ! :D
Hello Ali, it's nice to meet you!
Welcome!!
Thank you all for their warm welcome โ๐ผ
nice to meet you Ali! =)

Hey, welcome!
I'm a former chef who left due to an unknown virus attacking my nervous system causing mainly my legs to be really weak. I started pursuing coding because it seemed fun and I could do it sitting down. I'm a coding newbie. Currently, I'm a college student for programming, and i've been learning to use Python for electronics with the raspberry pi.
I'm a former prep cook who got into programming to get make inventory tracking and recipe's hands-free and it changed my life forever, Now i build sensor networks on construction projects.
If your into using python for electronics, You should checkout eventghost.net/forum/viewforum.php....
Some really cool stuff you can do and it's all python.
You can connect it to your raspberry pi very easily with node-red and join.
Inventory management would be a nice app to develop. Ive tested a lot of preexisting ones and didnt like them.
Thank you for the link.
I built a interface for the various phone trigger options as a way to use it while in the kitchen.
Tasker is a really great way to learn some heavy programming concepts in an applicable and functional way.
Here's my project, The idea is as an example more than anything.
The inventory part is internal so I can't share it.

Enjoy! Happy to answer questions hmu
That's really neat.
It'd be pretty cool to be able to take a picture, and have the app recognize each item and how much, and based on par sheets tell you how much to order.
I think this would be a really extensive app though.
I hope you are doing okay, Daniel. Glad you found coding!
Coding has really been fun, there has been times when I doubt if it's right for me, but when I was playing with the raspberry pi, and successfully creating electronical circuits and the codes to use them, I was really glad and happy.
I'm currently trying to make an RC boat, but right now money is the thing that is causing a standstill.
Hey, nice to meet you)
Nice to meet you, too!
Doing as ok in this quarantine as the next guy.
Hey!!! so nice to meet you!! I am a newbie myself... Hope you succeed... May the force be with you!!
Nice to meet you too.
Few more days til star wars day!
Welcome!
Thank you
Just curious, did you consider Lambda School? Just came across their site yesterday while looking at YC list of companies. (I don't work for them.)
The one thing I really like is that the first programming class, teaches you the logic and design of codes. We dont even learn the syntax of any language. The thought is if we learn a language, we only know how to code in that language and may not know how to code well. If we learn the logic, we can just learn the syntax later.
Havent really considered the bootcamps. I like the college's curriculum.
Hey! It's nice to meet you! Good luck with coding and becoming a super professional!
Nice to meet you too, thank you.
Wow so nice story! Let's play the game so! I love Python too, ping me if you need something :D
What's the game so?

Hi, welcome to this great tech community!
Thank you.
Hey there!! I'm new here and new to development. I'm definitely a code newbie. I'm currently working my way through learning some HTML and CSS via The Odin Project/Free Code Camp. If there are any tips or tricks to learning, please feel free to share!!
Welcome! For a tip I'd suggest taking notes! I've sometimes spent a ton of time doing a course, then a month or two later I don't recall much from it especially if I don't use it consistently, and have to go back and re-watch portions.
Thank you! I do take notes! It's just kind of hard to organize them all and then especially to search through them later.
Do you have any note taking tips and/or searching through the notes?
I think doing your best to group what you learn into coherent sections and subsections as well as going over your notes after the course to make them more readable really helps. If you want to take a look at an example, here are some of my notes on HTML/CSS/Javascript - notion.so/nutlope/Section-1-Front-...
Welcome!)
I love web development too!
I'm just getting started. So I'm still learning.
Cool! Wish you luck! I am making and will start to sell HTML/CSS templates soon. Check it out on IndieHackers: indiehackers.com/product/buildfast...
They are super easy to use and I think you would like it!
You are not alone. We are onboard the same train! Going through the CSS "Applied Visual Design" in FCC!
Nice!! I've just completed CSS Flexbox!
Let me know when you get to the web design projects. Would love to check them out! :)
If I remember to reach out, I definitely will!! I'm kind of in between a few courses, that's why I say if I remember....LOL
You can always send me another message if you want to follow up.
Will do. I just finished Flexbox and Grid. Will start doing some practice on a side, I got a bit stuck there. I will also share with you once I'm there. :D
Awesome!! Yeah, I've completed Flexbox, but I haven't moved onto Grid yet.
Grid gets wild really quick haha
Good to know, thanks!!!!
Welcome!
Thank you!! Glad to be here!!!!
I'm new to coding too. Maybe we can help each other :)
I'm sure we can!!!
Also new here. Welcome and all the best !
Thanks!! Likewise!!
Welcome!
Thank you!!! Glad to be here!!!
You start c++ yet?
LOL, no, not yet.
Hello! I am new to the DEV community (and about to graduate from Flatiron School). Coding has totally changed my life and I feel so lucky to have connected with helpful experienced developers online. Hoping to hold myself to more posting & to connect with more folks here.
Welcome to the community!
Thank you!
Hey Alicia, it's nice to meet you! Good luck with posting articles and notes. Dev.to is an amazing community to share experience, knowledge, and opinions.)
Thanks so much, Sergey! I can see that already.
me toooooooo
I'm also a bootcamp grad!
!! I love hearing from other bootcamp grads who have awesome jobs.
That's awesome, I'm currently in a bootcamp as well!
Hi, coding people ๐โโ๏ธ.
I am Atul Prajapati from India ๐๏ธ
Atulprajapati.in ๐๐ฅ
Hey there! ๐โโ๏ธ
Hope you dig it here.
Yeah ๐๐ค๐ค
I have several friends from India, they make some of the vegetarian dishes, and I like most prefer meat. Learnt a bit about the Indian culture from them. Probably my favorite dish was Indian butter chicken.
That's great ๐๐ I like litti chokkha which is little bit similar to butter chicken ๐
Welcome!
Thanks ๐ brother
Hey everyone, I heard about this site while watching a live stream on YouTube. I am currently learning Python and looking for like minded people to collaborate with as we grow.
Looking at Ali's intro below, I am reminded of my first encounter with a computer. It was at a friends place and he had left the cursor with a question "format C:\?". Thinking I was being helpful, I typed "yes". We haven't spoken in a very long while (he did steal my very expensive shoes at the time so that might be why too) :)
As for today, I work with Linux and I am looking to contribute more to open source projects.
Welcome!
Hello, it's nice to meet you! Yes, Dev.to is a great platform. I've been here since August and really enjoy it.
Hi Devs.
Just wanna share and learn..
Into Web dev(BS+Django+Postgres)
Fun fact: Can sit for hours :)
Welcome!
Hey everybody! Here's a helpful post for folks new to DEV:

idk but it won't build :D
Hello world,
I'm here to read and learn as much as I can. I'm starting my journey of learning to code, following the program in FreeCodeCamp.
I do what I can, as I don't have persistent internet connection. I work as a crewmember for cruiseships and I live onboard for 10 months a year :D.
I'm currently somewhere in international waters until I can leave the ship and go back home, when borders open.
Love gaming. Love programming. Love tech, and I'm glad I found this community. <3
Oh wow, working onboard a cruiseship! I imagine you've seen quite a lot.
And woaaa, I honestly hadn't thought that much about the effects COVID is having on folks that work as crewmembers โ that's wild. Best of luck to you in getting home!
I'm also a gamer, but not a dev. Still, I know my way around here. ๐ Consider checking out the game dev tag:
#gamedev
And, if you're wondering how I made that embed happen it's through a liquid tag โ
{% tag gamedev %}... you can learn about more embeds and other editor tricks on this page.Anyway, great to have you here and I hope you enjoy DEV!
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. It's awesome to be here.
Hello there ๐
I was here by accident when I search for something related to git commit message. This UI is so eyegasm. I mean look at those icons around the screen.
I think my two best places to seek anything related to coding and machine learning are dev.to and medium.com ๐ฅ
