Amazing! This is such a crucial skill to develop as a human being, but also as a developer. The ability to take complex topics and present them in an interesting and informative manner translates into so many areas of our daily work.

Being able to do that in front of other folks is scary, but it should not be. Sharing is caring as they say. 😃 Good luck with the talk! If you record it, you should share it here on Dev.to and YouTube!

Thanks, @schalkneethling, I was really scared this week about the presentation but truly there was nothing to fear, also, I think I'll do it more often to improve this skill. I recorded it and I'll share the video and write about this experience.

Hello to all those new folks here on DEV! 👋

Whether you're a seasoned developer or a newbie to programming, we encourage everybody to write and share posts in our community! You might walk folks through how to do something by writing a #tutorial, ask for assistance by posting under #help, or share a discussion prompt under #discuss to get folks talking!

For all those who do share a post, you'll be rewarded our awesome Writing Debut badge!

A GIF of the Writing Debut badge... The badge is circular and depicts a cartoonish pencil writing in a web browser. The colors are primarily pink and yellow. As for the animation, the circular badge appears to roll onto the page from left to right before stopping dead center, pausing, and then rolling off the page. It repeats!

A fancy pizza dinner! I'm pumped for this challenge, focusing on Python, Django, and Cyber Security. Stay tuned for updates and collaborations. Got any project ideas? Let's chat (itsmemabz@gmail.com)! Appreciate your support and advice!
