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 😊

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-...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 — 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. 🙂 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 — {% 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!

Hi,

Hobbyist coder here. Studied Software Engineering at Uni in the early ‘00s and have been messing around with code since but never worked in the industry. Started with Java and Perl but have dabbled with C, PHP, SQL and Haskell. JavaScript is what I’ve finally gotten pretty good at, this site has some fantastic JS knowledge and articles. It’s fun to be able to discuss coding in a friendly environment.

Hi everyone. I've been learning Python for a few months now, no prior experience with programming. Started to learn as I found there are few things at work (trading/investing) that I wanted to make faster or to be automated.

So now it has been couple of months that I've been struggling with my first project and finally yesterday I jumped out of my chair, danced around a little bit with a huge smile on my face, my wife probably thought I went crazy. But anyway, I finally managed to make a small part of the program to work as intended, no error messages that I couldn't understand, etc. Motivation is back in full force! Only 90% to go with that project now :D

The first time I used a computer was when I was aged 10 - it was a Windows ME machine with 8 Gigs of HDD and some 128 MB of RAM (a big deal back then). Started programming at the age of 14, when I used to build simple UI applications using Visual Basic. Entered into the world of Android Development in 2015, and since then have expanded into full-stack development (mainly using Python as the backend language) and computer vision.

Hi Dev.to Peeps! :) I'm Jonathan R. Holeton of St.Paul, Alberta Canada aka Lakeland area of North East Alberta. Hope you're all safe and well. I found out about Dev.to through a Software Engineer who tweeted on Twitter... had to be Twitter, cause we can't tweet on Facebook, I guess that would be a FB post. ;)

Although I have tweeted like a bird on FB in a video or two.

Video and Marketing are two of my main biggest passions, but basically I'm most passionate about solving problems with the help of passionate and highly skilled people who know a whole crap load more than I do. I LOVE multimedia...all the medias, marketing, filmmaking, web dev, VFX, editing, motion graphics, animation, #webflow, comedy, making people laugh if they are feeling down. Helping people deal with their emotions in healthy ways.

Looking forward to chatting with any of you who are like minded. I also want to learn software, game, 360, VR and AR development. Things I'm slowly learning like a turtle, but I want to be a rabbit, cause that's my Chinese zodiac and I tend to like to move fast...but I'm very patient like a turtle,...cause slow and steady... = Good

I've been developing my children character Berry Blue Bunny, a rabbit to help kids and adults deal with their emotions in healthy ways...He's made as a muppet style puppet by Avery Jones, the puppeteer of Slappy the puppet character in GOOSEBUMPS. My goal with Berry, is to have him be built as an AI, Furry/Cute Robot Assistant so he can walk around with me wherever I go...unless I need privacy so I will ask Berry politely to go to sleep, I need my alone time. ;) If that kind of project interests you...please don't hesitate to approach me.

Also our Feature film POTHOLES: Givr Cuz Life's Deadly, which is a bit of a Comedy/Drama/Stoner film like no other, with an 80s obessesd Pot Dealer friend of Gina and Johny named The Captain who grows his weed to 80s music and he says it's magical space weed that gives the user good luck of the 80s, and magical 80s things happen in the film. I'm wanting to make a POTHOLES video game possibly as 8 bit style, etc, an app, AR for it, VR and 360 video as well as regular CInema video for it as well.

Enough about me, I'll check out your posts and see if I understand talks about programming...I remember trying it when I was using our Commodore 128, I think it was BASIC...did a bit of HTML in University of Alberta for our Comp Course...and with Adobe After Effects, I played a little bit with I think it's Javascript, the Action script I think it's called. Need to get better at it as well as Expressions. I also tried to make a game in UNITY and the tutorial had us put some C# I think it was or CC?.... I made a silly, crappy game for my THE REAL GHOSTS OF PAC-MAN Short that's on my youtube under: Jonathan Holeton. Sort of like pacman game but his head was on the ground facing upward with open mouth...and a whole bunch of non stop pellets fall down to the ground and u gotta try to fill his mouth up with pellets like he's addicted to the pellets "drug".

Feel free to add me on LinkedIn, FB, Twitter, IG, etc :)

Hi everyone!

I'm a full stack web and mobile developer with 6 years experience. The first 5 1/2 years were spent as an in house developer/desktop publisher for an accounting firm, but in January I transitioned to freelancing. I do websites, web apps and mobile apps.

Favorite tools:
Front End: Vue, jQuery
Back End: Python (Django, Flask), PHP (Slim), Node.js (Express), and C# (ASP.NET Core)
Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB
Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Dart, Kotlin, Swift

Other frameworks/tools used:
React, Angular, Laravel, Spring Boot, Spark (java framework)

Interested in learning:
CakePHP, Meteor, Vapor, Ktor, Go, Rust, Unity, AWS, Heroku, Machine Learning, Drone Programming

Because of my previous work experience, I haven't been able to fully master any of the skills I've gained, nor have much of a decent portfolio, but I've been trying to change that during the past year. Hopefully I can find freelance projects to collaborate on so I can expand my experience in all listed areas. You can also reach out to me at dreamcraftdesigns.com or on DevChat slack community (@ozzythegiant ).

Hi everyone!
I first met computers more than 15 years ago, when I just started going to school. Since then it's my only passion. I loved it very much. I dealt with operation systems, hardware, and, of course, games! Later I started to develop my first website with HTML and CSS, it was amazing. I knew, that my life will be connected with software and computers for the rest of my life. In college, I studied Computer Science focusing on programming with C#, I was pretty successful, developing one of the best course projects. But it seems like my experience was not enough to obtain my first job as a Software Engineer. I suddenly had an internship in one small company in Luxembourg as System Administrator, it was amazing and I decided to switch for this role because it was interesting for me. Then I studied Networking and OS myself, got my first job. With my progression and with all this trend to DevOps in job titles I started to deal with CI\CD concepts and IaC which is also amazing. As a result of this journey, I dealt with various technologies, concepts, programming languages, but I can't say that I'm an expert in any, I feel like an imposter in industry. Join this community, for socialization. Want to contribute to Open Source, but don't feel confident. Does anyone have the same feelings?

Hii!!!
I love this community. I quite serendipitously stumbled upon it while trying to find a solution to some long gone problem in JavaScript. Ever since, I visit DEV almost everyday to checkout some new interesting post. Or just scrolling throw for mere pleasure!

Hey there!
Took a break after 8 years of working in a MNC to do the stuff I've missed doing.
1) Bought myself a domain to host it on WordPress, giving me the ability to learn some web dev on the way.
2) Started learning Python to get back to learning coding (I am a Comp Sci major but with zero coding experience)
3) Signed up for an account on Azure to get myself acquainted with cloud technologies and get a better understanding of hosting apps and websites on my own.

If you've got suggestions on either or more, hit me up! :D

Hey hi all! I've been coding, in one form or another, since 1983. From MS-BASIC and COBOL (shudder...) through PASCAL, Perl and PHP, to Ruby, node, and the pure fun of modern javascript, I've watched the evolution of code, and of coders.
After a long sabbatical from professional developing, I'm back at it, my passion and my joy. You'll often find me around the forums or discords of both FCC and The Odin Project, wisdom and whimsy in equal measure. If you are in those places and happen to see Snowmonkey, say hey!

Herkese Merhaba. İos Geliştirici bir arkadaşıma bir gün misafirliğe gittim. Beraber kahve içerken ona neler yaptığını sordum, gerçekten onu dinlemek istiyordum. Bilgisayarının ekranında çok güzel renkli renkli kodlar gidip geliyordu. Biraz yazılımdan bahsetti. O gün hayatım değişti. Ertesi gün her şeyi bırakıp yazılım çalışmaya başladım. Şimdi kendimi tanıtmak istersem Web developer-Mobil Developer ve Seo Uzmanı.

Hello everyone, I wish everything is okey and you all healthy. I've just joined this platform and new to development. I've been working on html, css, scss, javascript and reactJS. I specified a road map to be able to be a skilled Frontend Developer and now studying on it. I have just finished Free Code Camp "Responsive Web Design", "Javascript Algorithms and Data Structures" and "Frontend Frameworks" tutorials(The first 2 was easy for me but I could not finish the projects for the last one:)). Before that, I finished w3schools documentation about html, css and javascript.
Now I understand that it is more useful to learn CSS and Vanilla JS deeply. Because there are many frameworks and tools, but we should learnd the "core" first. So on my roadmap I will be following Odin Project, LearnJavascriptOnline and EnvatoTuts Javascript lessons. After these free tuts, I plan to enroll Coursera - "Frontend Web Development with React" and CodeCademy - "Web Development" tutorials. And also I should learn CSS in detailed. I am waiting for your suggestions about it, feel free to give advice and share your thoughts please. Because it is really difficult to choose the right documents/tuts/courses.
Take care, keep social distance, wash your hands and stay healty:)

Over the last five years, I've been engaged with web development focusing on intuitive UI and better UX. Experienced with building a pack of web templates, web apps, plugins, frameworks, and tools, I never stopped learning new things. Considering the other traits, I'm a team player, dedicated, fast learner, highly tech-enthusiast, and a genuine bug fixer. My start-up-friendly career is my biggest asset to trade with the excellence of the institutions where I’d like to work.

Hey everyone,

Nice to be the part of Dev.to....

12+ yrs back when I started a career never thought of becoming an author. I was a curious developer. Used to read a lot. One day thought of writing my own blog and now I am here.

Excited to be part of this team.

Desde que llegó a mis manos el primer ordenador (un MSX, si, ya peino canas) no he dejado de "trastear" con ellos. Me apasiona todo lo relacionado con ellos, pero sobretodo con el diseño y el desarrollo web y la programación.
Un saludo a todas y todos. Muchas gracias por compartir vuestros conocimientos y "nutrirnos" con vuestra sabiduría.
