Hi! My name is Aleksandra and I recently started 100 days of code challenge. I plan to write posts about the things I have learned during that journey. I am also a big fan of productivity, so I may share some tips on that as well :)
Hello, Aleksandra! Welcome to the community! Best wishes on your #100DaysOfCode challenge, I have been on that challenge as well and completed it earlier this year! You can do it!
Thanks, and congrats on completing the challenge!
Thank you so much! :D

Hey Debo!
So nice to have ya with us here. And wow, 18 years of experience as a dev is awesome... I bet you have a lotta knowledge to share. Hope you'll write some posts here.
Enjoy being part of the DEV community and see ya around!
@michaeltharrington Thank you Michael for your warm welcome. Glad to join the DEV community and learn from other developers. I appreciate your support and encouragement and look forward to seeing you around!
You are very welcome, Debajit! š

@anitaolsen Thank you, for your warm and kind words. I appreciate your welcome and your encouragement.
Hello Everyone!
I'm Karen from Taiwan and I'm on a journey of self-learning in the realm of coding, aiming to broaden my skill set. I'm starting with front-end development and this is my first time being part of a developer community like this one!
A bit nervous but really hope to learn a lot and have good time with you all :)
Hello, Karen! Be welcome to the DEV.TO community!
I'm also a self-learning in the programming world. Let's share our experiences!
Talking about front-end development, do you know a website called "Frontend Mentor"?
Hello ThaĆsa! Thank you for the warm welcome. It's great to meet another self-learner in programming!
As for the "Frontend Mentor" website, I hadn't heard of it before, but I looked it up and it seems like a fantastic platform that could be really useful for me. Thank you for sharing!
I believe that when we are self-learners is more difficult to make "coding buddies" and build a strong network, also there's nothing better than feeling welcome in some place when we're newbies.
Frontend Mentor provides wonderful experiences to me, simulating the real world with useful designs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Stay learning and happy coding to us!
Hello Thaisa, I will benefit from this too as I am also a beginner and a self-learner. Great tip and wish us all the very best. Lets enjoy the ride!
Hello Adenike, I'm so happy about this. If possible, share your experiences with your first Frontend Mentor challenge with us. I'm sure it is going to be very useful for a lot of beginners, like me ^^
Hey Karen! š
It's great to have ya in our community. Really hope that you find the resources and the people here all to be helpful and encouraging as you self-learn your way into the world of software development.
One group I highly recommend you take a look at is Virtual Coffee. They hold regular meetups and are a really supportive group. Check'em out!
Virtual Coffee
Anywho, have a good one and feel free to hit me back here if you have any questions about DEV!
Hello Michael!
Thank you for your response. In fact, in the few days since I joined, I've been feeling overwhelmed with so much to see and learn! The friendliness of everyone and the recommended resources have been a great help, and it's a much different experience than studying on my own. I'm glad I gathered the courage to join the community!
I've also taken a preliminary look at Virtual Coffee and can tell it's a fantastic group with many supportive activities for members. It's especially great to be able to chat with developers in real time! I'll take some time over the weekend to understand more about it. However, as English is not my native language, I'm a bit nervous about having real-time conversations. Once I'm mentally prepared, I'll try to apply for membership. Thank you so much for the recommendation!
Currently, I'm trying to work on a project from Frontend Mentor, so I'm researching how to use Github. If I successfully complete it, I'll also try to share my experience on DEV. If I have any questions on DEV, I hope to interact with you again! Thank you :D
Good stuff all around, Karen! I'm glad the recommendation was helpful. š
I totally understand your hesitation about joining a real-time meetup in English when you're not a native English speaker ā I'd feel the same if I was joining a meetup that wasn't in my native language! That said, this group is indeed really supportive, kind, and understanding, so when you're feeling up for it, I think they'll be a great group help ease ya into things. š
It sounds like you're beginning your learning from a good starting point ā I've heard good things about Frontend Mentor and it's definitely a good idea to learn how to use GitHub early on. And if you're feeling overwhelmed, just know that so many folks feel like that in the beginning ā the amount of things to learn is so vast. But, your knowledge will build on itself... and things will start to come together. Hang in there and keep on learning, it'll take some time but you will be able to learn this stuff!
You got this, Karen!
I've been contemplating stepping out of my comfort zone for a while now, so I'm definitely going to try and join a Virtual Coffee meetup in the near future! (And it might be a double win for both my coding skills and English proficiency)
Your words are incredibly warm and empowering. I believe when I encounter frustrations on my self-learning journey, I will remember your encouragement and regain my strength. Thank you so much! I will give it my all! š
Hello Karen
Great i encourage you on your journey of self-learning as i fellow self-learner
Because this a kinda tough journey you will see ups and downs
i am with you
Thank you for your encouragement Imdad ! It means a lot to me.
Knowing I have such nice companions on this journey gives me a sense of relief !
Hi! i'm new here...hoping to learn a lot and interact with people here :)
Welcome welcome!
Hello and much welcome to the DEV community!
Thank you :)
Welcome! Keep on working hard
Hey there, my name is Anzhelika and I'm studying Swift and also writing articles on different resources according to the things that I find interesting or hard to understand. I'm looking to get to know people who also share my interests and want to say thank you in advance for making other people closer to something they want to do)
Hello Anzhelika, welcome to the DEV community! I took an introductionary course on Swift once, it seemed a little similar to C++ to me of sort. You want to write apps for the iPhone? I was only a little curious on the language. I wish you luck in your studies and keep writing!
Hey, hey, exactly, it's my first language and I'm absolutely in love with it. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's hard as hell, hahaha, but it's still exciting and I'm making my small project right now. What about you?
Woah, Swift as your first language! That certainly must be a challenge! I started out coding with HTML and C++ as my first programming language (I eventually had to drop it as I got stuck and got no help. There were no code learning sites back then ).
I am indulging in so many projects at this time (I can not help myself!). I am currently playing this programming puzzle game where I program for an AI (so I am working on finishing that game but to be honest, I want it to never end!), I also recently unlocked an in-game handheld console in the same game and I am currently working on getting to know it and make my first game with it (it is not an objective of the game so no help apart from the zine we all have to print out and find the right commands for the task at hand), I am working on completing my Game Dev 2 final project on CodeCombat and I also recently got my own domain with web hosting so I am building my website from scratch.
Projects can be so fun! I need to make more stuff as well as sharing more than I already do as well. I wish you good luck on your projects! You can do it! āØ
Helllooo, came here from a ZTM(Zero To Mastery) blog recommendation, looking to improve my soft skills; communication via posts and chats with members, teamwork & problem solving via helping others however I can, and coachability by learning from the community.
My 10+ year journey so far has been mainly as a digital plumber (Java developer for systems integrations) with this past year as a gap in experience; I'm looking to refill by reskilling and getting back into what I enjoy. More about me in an intro post I intend to write, I promise! XD
Looking forward to gaining and giving back
Cheers!
Welcome! Hope you enjoy being part of DEV and that ya find the articles here helpful as ya get back into it. RestlessHobbyist is a freaking awesome username, haha.
Did you get up to anything interesting over your gap year? I feel like everybody should take a sabbatical from time to time.
Hey Michael, thanks for the warm welcome!
The username is too relatable, a gift and a curse XD.
Good question, the gap was caused by my previous role not involving coding vs. taking a sabbatical. I hoped that I would transition back into some dev work eventually but it never happened so I'm re-engaging during this transition.
Hoping to make this an interesting learning time and sharing my journey along the way!
You're very welcome! š
And, I feel ya on the gap situation... very cool how software development has come back around in your life and happy that you landed here on DEV.
I checked out your intro post, by the way, and it was cool to hear a bit more about your history. You definitely have a lotta experience, so hopefully the transition back into it will be a smooth one for ya!

Heyo Etop! So nice to have you with us here.
Your blog and YouTube channel both look dope! š
I hope you'll consider sharing some content here on DEV.
On that note, just a quick heads up that if you wanna embed a YouTube video in any posts or comments, you can use the following syntax to do so:
{% embed https://... %}For instance, here's a fun song I was listening to earlier:
By the way, here's a link to the editor guide where you can see our other available embeds and various Markdown formatting options.
Hope this is helpful and feel free to hit me back if you have any questions at all! š
Hey everyone, I'm Sohaib. A writer. I'm learning to write programs now. But I'm still stuck at CSS Flexbox concepts so pray for me š. Anyway, looking forward to contributing to this huge community.
Cheers š„
Hi, Sohaib! Be welcome to this amazing programming world! I'm a coding newbie learning about intermediate CSS, let's deal with it together! Did you know about the website "Frontend Mentor"?
Hey ThaĆsa, thanks. No, but I'm definitely gonna check it now.
Frontend Mentor provides wonderful experiences to me, simulating the real world with useful designs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Thank you so much ThaĆsa - I did check out the website and I'm working on my first challenge right now. Looks like a good way to test out my skills. Thanks again for sharing.
Share your experiences with your first challenge after you finish, please.
It's gonna be a pleasure to read about it!
Will do.
