If you love reading books on software development, I would highly recommend the book. I have benefited from the tips and advice given in this book.
The publishers have put the tips for us on their site.

Becoming great at software development requires a genuine passion for the craft, a deep appreciation for its impact on people, and a commitment to continuous learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Its scope goes beyond code and computers, emphasizing the interconnectedness of technology and human experiences.

Hello there. Though I'm not a very new guy here, but I never really introduced myself.

I am Rechie Kho, and I am a self-taught programmer who does most of the programming thing already.

Here are some facts:

Not sure what crazy stuff will I do after these, but I'll always make sure I have fun in programming them.

The war between vim and emacs is never-ending.

True. We need to keep ourselves sane in such wars. Editors are for us, and not vice versa. Until the advent of IDEs, I used editors for Java programming. Notepad, Wordpad, DOS edit, vim. Text editors took a back seat once IDEs like Rational XDE, Eclipse, and IntelliJ were available to the dev community. Today IntelliJ is my first choice. And I complement it with Notepad++ and VS Code. VS Code is also a very powerful IDE for many languages.

neovim + vscode. It gets the job done. I'm a terminal guy so I got to stay with neovim. But sometime vscode is much easy to setup for some other programming languages as its plugin ecosystem is much user-friendly.

Hi, I was using Medium as a standard place for quality content, but recently I started to get this website in my search more often.

Do you guys think Dev.to is somehow better than Medium or equivalent?

Hello,

I am Joshua, I joined the community to meet other programmers and give help in their projects or learn from them🤗.

I have a decade of experience in programming, and now I'm doing my bachelors of CS in Hungary, but I wanted to meet other developers from the other parts of the world 🌍.

This is my GitHub if you'd like to reach out to me or talk with me about anything programming or CS related:

Wishing you the best programming!

How’s everybody doin & feelin out there in the DEV COMMUNITY?!?Hopefully doin it well (what’s the it I’m talking bout before the well mean???) The it LITERALLY means DEV, and just about anything/everything to do with it. I’m a DIE HARD dev enthusiast & I don’t know if anything else previously in my life has ever brought me the joy, knowledge, wisdom, intelligence, and most of all the sense of purpose I feel in my life that I feel right now and will continue to feel for years & years to come. DEVcommunity and j*DEVELOPMENT* in general JUST ROCK!!!!
