Hello everyone, my name is Alef, I'm 25 years old and I'm Brazilian.
I am completing my degree in Computer Science and am currently an intern at an American multinational.
Looking for junior developer opportunities. If you want to talk or find out more, connect with me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alef-paula-aa98041ba/

Hi all, I am Joshua from Nigeria, a graduate of computer science from the University of Benin. An IT technician/ Senior Transas IT technician with some front-end skills currently delving into the world of security. Almost done with the Google cyber security course.
Looking to work on more projects as a cybersecurity analyst and looking for internship roles to build my skills. Be happy for a buzz, thanks.

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the dev.to-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 the beginning of next year 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.

I am mentoring fellow developers on another platform as well as on dev.to. I am currently publishing the "LevelUp: Elevate your Career Today" series where I give Career and Interview advice based on my experience as Engineering Manager and Technical Recruiter. (It's bascially free mentoring, don't tell my paying mentees about that :D)

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.

hello everyone,
This is muhammad jamshaid , i am new here.

Now a days i am learning REACT from Udemy.
Also i am freelancer on UPWORK .

Hi all!
I am an entrepreneur who loves to help people solve problems. I am not a dev (unless you consider html5 and CSS dev work! 🤣). I am a branding and marketing guy who has partnered with a great dev and a great admin to form Flusso Software.

With Flusso Software the team wants to help people with software ideas stop wasting countless hours and thousands of dollars navigating the pitfalls of software development without ever knowing if their idea is even worth investing in. We want to guide them through and around the pitfalls, so they save time, save money, and bring their great software ideas to market.

We do it the way we do because we know when you guide people with empathy and integrity you have an opportunity to change their lives.

I am here to learn some insights about the industry so I can create authoritative content to share with the world and hopefully make the industry just a little bit better.

CHEERS!
Michael :-)

Hi everyone. My name is Ivan. I am a 33-year old full-stack PHP web developer from Sofia, Bulgaria. Mastodon.Social brought me here. I see some great information and people. Looking for job opportunities as well.

Hey folks, I am Karan. I work as a Software developer in Canada. Happy to join this community. Looking forward to learn from amazing people in this community and hoping to share my knowledge as well.

Hi there, great to be here, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute some content about my personal projects. I'm currently building a personal website, and spending my free time understanding precisely what it takes to create fast websites, covering caching, Cloudflare settings, kv/redis, lighthouse performance score intricacies, GPT integration for workflow and personal assistants and more. I'm also creating a local community site for those living and working in Colchester.

It's early days for my personal website, but I've already started investigating what works best to engage my readers, such as adding polls and quizzes for the curious. I know the world is moving towards short-form content and I want to add features that automatically repurpose content such as 15-second videos, threads, tweets/Xs, social posts etc.

All in all, I code by day, and then spend my evenings and weekends coding - it's a passion that I've had all my life and still enjoy it as much today as I did when I started.

I do wonder where AI will take us all in this disciplined tradecraft, but so far it's been tremendously useful.

Nice to meet you all, and if you are a coder and live in the Colchester area then make sure you say hi! And if not then say hi anyway!

Welcome Prince into the world of programming! Programming is all about problem solving. All it takes is mathematical thinking in disguise - think logically and break down problems into smaller, manageable pieces. And less about programming languages, tools and syntax.

As explained in How to Think Like a Computer Scientist

The single most important skill for a computer scientist is problem-solving. Problem-solving means the ability to formulate problems, think creatively about solutions, and express a solution clearly and accurately. As it turns out, the process of learning to program is an excellent opportunity to practice problem-solving skills. That’s why this chapter is called, The Way of the program.

Last but not least, coding is just the tip of the iceberg. So don't get lost in the woods of codes. There are so many roles to perform in software development. Find your gem.

All the best!

Hi all! I'm Stephen, from the UK. Long story short, I used work as a Software Developer in the early 2010s, but then health difficulties forced me to quit my job and spend the last 4 years exploring ways to heal myself. I am now wanting to get back into Software Development though and restart my career.

I am looking for ways to update my knowledge and get back in the field. My previous experience was mainly working as a full-stack developer, using ASP.NET MVC C#, with SQL and entity framework behind the scenes. I was predominantly coding in front-end languages though, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. If anyone has any suggestions on what to research and dive into in order to update myself, I would be most grateful!

Many thanks and best wishes,
Stephen

Hi everyone, I'm huijo, and I'm an SRE engineer. I'm currently learning the Rust language 🦀 and applying it in my work. It was really challenging at the beginning, but after maintaining it for a week or two, I've started to find it quite endearing. The language I use at work is Python 🐍, which is also cute and very convenient, but I still want to achieve new breakthroughs. I'm very happy to be working hard alongside all of you developers ☺️.
