Hi Everyone!
I’m Anthony (I suppose my display name was a giveaway to that). I’m a .NET (C#) and Angular developer, who has also used React in the past. I've also written a few WPF apps and had a go at using Avalonia.
I’m fairly new on here and am trying my hand at writing stories to share my experiences and knowledge so far as a developer. I hope that I can write something that’s both educational and entertaining to read.
Development wise, I’m the author of Working Files List (a free Visual Studio plugin) and have also written some simple browser games (here and here) while trying to learn TypeScript and React.
I’m also interested in music production and think I might pick up drawing again some day.
welcome! wow dude you seem really talented! keep up the good work and I’ll continue reading your posts
Thanks for the words of encouragement! Hopefully we can all share, learn, and become better versions of ourselves together.
Hey Anthony, nice to meet you! I'm kind of the opposite, coming from Angular and end up working in React :p Love your enthusiasm in making various side projects!
Hi Patrick
Was React something that you chose to do?
Personally, React was my first front-end library. I then changed jobs and ended up working on an AngularJS codebase. Eventually, I was in a position where my company was choosing between React and Angular because AngularJS was being discontinued. They chose Angular. It's nice because it gave me more experience of different front end technologies. I like it too, though I sometimes wonder if some things would have been easier in React - I guess they say the grass is always greener on the other side :)
I felt the same for the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side"! When I look back to Angular and the problem my previous job, I felt I can do better now haha. Maybe because I'm more used to React, I still prefer React. Some upsides are that, there are way more resources and open source packages and community around React. And it feels more JS/TS (while Angular feels more C# personally), flexible and less opinionated to me.
However, greater flexibility comes as a cost that it might be easier to write low quality code. Also, when talking about React as a library VS Angular as a framework, React dev might need some more libraries to make it complete, while Angular is more "batteries included" with routing and other utils. My last word - it might be a question of preference :p not something that has an absolute answer.
Completely agree. Angular feels more opinionated, and 'complete' as a framework. But that also means projects can need a bit more setup.
I think it ultimately depends on the type of project. Smaller projects might benefit from using React while larger and more structured projects might be better with Angular. That's no criticism of either and certainly not a rule either - just the impression I got so far from using both.
Wow, you're drawings are amazing! The VS Extension also seems like it would be very useful! Goodluck!
Thanks for taking a look and the compliments!
Please feel free to use Working Files List if you think it will be useful. Unfortunately, I don't have much free time to put towards developing it further these days. That said, I don't think there are any showstopping bugs in it, and I still use it daily when working server-side.
Hey Anthony! I love your drawing!! and music production??!! that's awesome
Thank you - it's kind of you to say that!
Which music genre are you into?
Hi Nghia
Do you mean listening, or writing?
For listening, quite a few: Classical, (some) Country, (some) Electronica, Jazz, Pop, (some) Punk Rock, Rock, Symphonic Metal, Synthwave.
In terms of writing: I've done a bit of instrumental rock, cinematic, and more recently I've dipped into synthy electronic music.
I’ll go first: Hello, my name is Sloan the Official DEV Moderator (Sloan, for short), and I'm a three-toed sloth. I am a skilled climber and have very sharp claws and dextrous fingers, with which I enjoy creating abstract art. I'm interested in learning a programming language that's suited to my slow and deliberate nature. Any recommendations? I'm a great listener and I'm here to provide a calming presence. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi All!
I'm Taeho. I'm currently learning to code. I can create CRUD apps but I still have to look at my notes. I've come a long way and I am very proud of it!
I picked up programming in 30s, and am now taking it seriously.
I want to write for older people who are intimidated or struggle to transition into programming.
I would like to network with other like minded individuals and be a net positive to the community.
I love muay thai, combat sports, indoor rowing, and hiking. I like to cook with the ingredients in my fridge.
Say hi if you like peanuts!
Welcome! We have some similar hobbies! How long have you been practicing muay Thai?I used to practice Pencak silat, and I also love indoor rowing (do it almost every day) and hiking (as much as I can where I live am in the beautiful PNW in the US). I'm intrigued my your mission to write for older people who are intimidated by programming; how did you find that path?
Hey!
I did mt for 5yrs ish (?). My gym closed down at the start of the pandemic and I haven't found a gym since. That's when I switched to indoor rowing and hiking. I miss MT dearly! Pencak silat looks cool!
I've joined 100Devs and the lead instructor is all about inclusion. I know there are other folks like me out there (non tech work exp, second career / industry switch) so I'd like to encourage them to keep going. I'm experimenting on content type (short form, long form, infographics) and outreach methods.
I am following codenewbie on twitter. See you there and thanks for the support!
What are your immediate goals at Forem?
Wow! I'm going to check out 100Devs. I can definitely relate to your experience as someone who made a mid-career switch into tech. It can be intimidating, but it's also been incredibly rewarding for me to learn new skills and challenge myself.
I'm one of the community team members working behind the scenes on DEV, so I'm always out and about in the comments, listening to what our members have to say and learning about their experiences. I'm eager to keep tabs on your experimentation with different types of content and outreach methods. Do keep us all posted on DEV and reach out to the community to let us know where we can support!
welcome to the community! looking forward to seeing what you build!

Hello Everyone!
My name is Emily and I just started my journey in the coding world. I am excited to start the Coding Bootcamp at a University near by. I did my research for the last couple of months hesitating to take the leap into this new career change, which I finally did and here I am.
I initially come from a healthcare background, was in nursing school then ended up switching majors into getting a Health Science Degree (COVID definitely was the reason I switched). As I start a new career into Full Stack Development, I am nervous and excited to see where I end up. I will keep you guys updated while I start this new journey.
Best of luck to those who are also starting their journey! Excited to be here :)
welcome! good luck with your programming journey!

Thank you for your warm welcome! This is what I'd expect from a vibrant community like dev.to!
Hello guys, I am new here.
I was trying to get familiar with the writing tools available at DEV and create a new post, but it seems a bit difficult to grasp.
I wish there was a video to introduce new members like us to these writing and editing tools.
welcome!
I found this post: dev.to/ziizium/a-beginners-guide-t... that might help
Thanks. It was very helpful.

Hii everyone!
I'm ammu(formally Vasantha). I'm 2nd year btech student. I like drawing, music, photography, also food 😄. I want to learn programming my semisters are going on, but still I didn't even learn one language properly.
I want suggestions how to tackle them, also keep in track with my subjects. I don't know where and which language should I start.
hey! a good beginners’ language would be Python, and I started with it too!
Hey Guys!
My name's Anosa (Ah-No-Sah). I honestly believe I'm the newbiest of newbies. I'm an Automotive Service Technician (Car Mechanic) trying to get into the tech field. I feel I have a long long road ahead of me especially with no programming and computer science background.
I am currently learning some math courses on Udemy starting from Algebra 1 to Calculus and Differential Equations its so fuuunnn ha...ha...pretty bad at it but I missed it really. I've come to realize I enjoy problem solving. I get overly excited when I figure out the answer to a problem but I'll try not to let it show. I'll simply quietly go "yes" and make a fist. Next up will be a computer science course, programming 101 and web development (i.e html, css, javascript)
I'm aspiring to get into DevOps or related fields. I'm excited to be a part of the DEV community and would like to find some good advice from you guys on what I should learn first and particularly "how" to learn/study or how to make the knowledge stick/stay in my head and eventually with that knowledge and hopefully some built up confidence, will gladly do the same in return and help out anyway possible.
Have a great week everyone! To The Future!
hey Anosa, welcome!
Hello everyone! I'm Angela, I'm primarily a Shopify developer but I love learning to code; mostly front end. I've dived into HTML and CSS and have a basic understanding of JS. What I'd actuallly love to do is eventually get into Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking. (which honestly seem ridiculous since Ive been having trouble wrapping my head around JS.) So if anyone has any recommendations for resources or a good place to start I would love to hear them!
I'm not new, I've been around for some years but I've never really dived into the discussions because I don't feel like I know enough about code or the coding space. One of my goals for this year is to participate more, so here I am.
I love reading and crocheting, and learning random things. I have a flock of backyard chickens, and slightly feral children. I would love to get to know more people here and learn about your interests and experiences. Please feel free to say hi!
welcome angela!
Hey Everyone!
My name is Nisa. i'm a frontend developer (usually using React) and now i'm trying to learn next js.
I want to start writing a mini article about my coding journey, but it's hard for me to start writing (since i suck with words) 😅
Hey Khairunnisaas, looking forward to your journal! It is always hard to learn and practice something new. Be it another framework or writing ;) Good luck!
hey! i recently shifted from flask (in python) to react and next.js
You should definitely try writing articles about your journey, many people will definitely benefit from them!

Hello,
My name is Jan and I've been a Java developer for 20 years. Ok, there was some C, Pascal, Basic and Delphi in the beginning. I've dabbled in JavaScript, Groovy, a bit of PHP (ouch) and other languages, but Java is my main language.
I've blogged, recorded podcasts, organized meetups, spoken at and attended conferences, and am enthusiastic about everything hacking-related.
For the last three years I've been working on a research grant leading to a new in-memory no-sql database oriented to e-commerce web catalogs evitaDB. The database will be released next year, but you can already download and try its alpha version and have a look at parts of the finished documentation.
I love gaming (KCD, Witcher, Cyberpunk, DeathStranding, Civ and many more), reading (Terry Pratchet, Tolkien, Andy Wier, Daniel Suarez, Naam Ramez and dozens of other great authors) and sports (triathlon). And last but not least - having a wonderful family with a son who is also starting to get into IT.
hey Jan, welcome to the community!

Hi, I'm new. I've worked in banking tech for a very long time. Was an ok web developer,did some C# server side stuff, automated a ton of things with Python. I've mostly been a dev manager, and am pretty good at that. Recent changes to our company have me looking at maybe moving more towards development and seeing if I can have a feeling of directly making a difference, rather than facilitating that for others
I've started learning Java in the last couple of weeks. Have a handle on the basics and am doing Leetcode each day while working on a daily habits app for practice.
I'm going to be working on some Kafka based stuff at work too once I get a bit more practice under my belt.
welcome to the community! looking forward to seeing what you create

Hello Everyone! This is Patrick here. I'm a full stack developer mainly working with JavaScript and Python. Besides my full-time job, I love building side projects that may or may not be useful 🤪 e.g. mongo-http.js, Activity Calendar Widget, Medium Rare (a Chinese articles scrapper on medium.com) and more.
I previously shared my thoughts in Medium and now am exploring different platform like dev.to too! My recent "interest" is to explore ways to build UI libraries that can be used in various frameworks e.g. React, Vue or Svelte and am experimenting with web components and Mitosis.js.
Besides work, I love plants and I have a worm compost bin at my home!
welcome! looking forward to seeing what you build!
