Hello Devs,
My name is Vivi and am from Berlin, Germany.
I'm a new bee Full-Stack dev, and a jobseeker for 2 months. Although the huge difficulty to find a position as a Junior, I'm keeping doing my search, and I am very happy to be here, to read all, and meet other experience devs.
I am currently learning Java by myself. Let's see what this new world has to me.

Regards and Hugs,

Viviane (Vivi)

Hello Tom,
Right!
I finished a 6-month course at Code Institute. :-)
Of course there is a huge way from now, but I think, step by step I can reach my target.

Greets from Berlin,

Vivi

Hello everyone.

My name is Joshua. I've been reading and perusing this site for sometime now, and decided to join the community.

I am a PHP developer and architect, amateur photographer, digital nomad, and currently the General Manager of a hostel. I am a huge open source advocate and Linux (Arch & Ubuntu) enthusiast.

I've worked with PHP since 2005 when I first got the programming bug. My most recent project is the CodefyPHP Framework which is to be used to refactor my big project: eduTrac SIS.

Would love to connect with each of you. You can find me on Twitter and Github via my profile. I look forward to learning and getting to know each of you.

I'm here searching for information that can keep me informed. But maybe I will write some articles too.

I actually speak Spanish, so, I'm sorry about the writing errors😅

Hello all! 👋

I'm an experienced content strategist with a background in event production and media coordination. I've also been in Web3 space since 2018.

Lately, I've been geeking out on Python and machine learning. I'm also excited about learning Mojo🔥 from ground up - been following its development since it was made accessible in May 2023.

I'm currently looking for work. I'm hoping to find a gig that lets me blend my event production, content strategy, and coding skills.

Feel free to connect at github.com/ilya0x with me if you need help with your documentation design & layout!

Also, I'd love to collaborate on a Dungeons & Dragons 5e project in Python 🤓

Looking forward to being part of this community!

Demi

Hi guys!

My name is Demi, and I'm a frontend and email developer. Yes, yes, I'm the one who has been doing table-based markup for over 10+ years!))) During the development of email templates, we don't always have images and various data sets from designers (Product cards, etc..). That's why I've been working on my pet project that generates placeholder images in jpg format. But I continue to work on it in my free time and I'm adding support for svg, gif, and json data sets. This allows me to keep the development going without wasting time searching for placeholders. If you're interested in trying it out, there's a link to my project in my profile. The service is free. If you have any suggestions for what other content can be generated to make life easier for us developers and spend more time coding, please leave a comment on my posts, and in my free time, I'll consider what can be done.

Wishing everyone peace and goodness!

Hi everyone,

I’m very new to development.

I’ve worked with MS SQL, Postgres SQL, basic css and some other bits and pieces but nothing overly intricate.

I’m looking to dive deep into web development so any guidance or helpful words of advice would be welcome.

Jack
