Welcome Thread - v229

Hi all, I am a software engineer at the world's largest investment bank. I recently made a switch from a Business analyst profile to Software engineer. After 6 years of college education and 3 years of professional experience, I got to know what i knew from the start, that i enjoy solving problems and coding is a great tool to do this.
I am working on a research and analytics tool for the bank and it is not very interesting as it is a 10 year old project and all the technologies are too old.
Now i am looking for new opportunities in some interesting projects. Also working on a personal project.

Welcome everyone to DEV! Seems like the welcome thread 230 got deleted? Left a comment there and wanted to reply to someone but couldn't since it's gone.

so here we go again - what's everyone working on today? I read up on Forem's contribution guide yesterday to open my first discussion and I did! It's a simple suggestion to create a saved reading list icon in the profile page, instead of having to navigate to the profile icon -> reading list. You can take a look at github.com/forem/forem/discussions... if you're interested, feel free to comment your thoughts. Any discussion is welcome - you can disagree and leave your thoughts too.

Happy coding everyone!

Hello! I'm Solomon Umoh. An Entry Level Front End Developer. Presently, I am taking a course on Javascript and React thus the need to be in a community like this in order to enhance my skill and improve my craft. I'm excited to be here.

-community!

I'm Martin, and I worked as a Senior Front End Architect and Engineering Manager at one of the world's largest digital agencies, where I led Front End Teams for international projects. After 15 years, I quit my job. Now I travel the world as a professional scuba diver, work as a freelance Front End Tech Lead and technical Recruiter for international clients. Besides that, I write about technology.

My latest book about Modern Full Stack development will be published in October by No Stach Press. It's an easy, hands-on introduction to creating web applications with Next.js, MongoDB and Mongoose (there's currently a 25% Discount!). You can read more about how to become a published author in my upcoming article about writing books.

On dev.to I'm publishing a weekly periodical, the "WebDevDigest: A curated list of the top five web development must-reads from last week", which keeps you up to date on current web development trends and "LevelUp: Elevate your Career Today" where I give Career and Interview advice based on my experience as Engineering Manager and Technical Recruiter.

If I have enough time, I write more in-depth articles, for example how to create multi-language pages with next export, which is on GitHub:next-export-i18n and npmjs: next-export-i18n

I recommend following the general tags webdev, vscode , career and productivity and javascript, react, CSS. Head over to your Dashboard and adjust the tag weight to personalize your home feed.

Here's a list of articles to start your journey as a successful developer and a great writer:

• How to Write Your First Post on DEV by Chris Achard
• How to write a VERY HIGH quality post on DEV (13 top tips + a bonus 🤯!) by InHuOfficial
• Complete roadmap: How to get started with Frontend Development? by ShahiLalit ShahiLalit
• Introduction Guide to Next.js by Ibrahima Ndaw
• Roadmap for React JS 2022 by Digvijay Jadhav

If you are looking for your next job, I highly recommend buying the Book De-Coding the Technical Interview Process by Emma Bostian. It is hands down the best preparation for every technical interview.
