Hi my name is John. At 47 years old, I am embarking on an exciting new chapter in my tech journey by diving into the world of Laravel, a powerful PHP framework. With a lifelong passion for computers and technology, I've always been a self-proclaimed computer geek, exploring various facets of the digital world. From building custom PCs to troubleshooting hardware and network issues, my love for technology has been a constant companion throughout my life.
Now, as I take my first steps into coding with Laravel, I am thrilled to channel my extensive tech experience into crafting robust, dynamic web applications. This new venture signifies not just a career shift but a continuation of my lifelong learning and passion for innovation. With the support of this community and my unwavering determination, I am eager to contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of web development.

Hey John, you give me the courage to be part of dev.to as well. I'm 58 and getting back into programming again professionally after a 9-year break!
I've enjoyed the content on this site as a hobbyist programmer during the last few years - especially the Functional Programming (FP) articles. As I'm back working with C# I'm looking at contributing something here about my FP journey back into C#.
"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning." — Rick Cook
I invite you to check out how to put the Universe in defense and stop its winning stride - starting to think and act the oOo way ... May the power of oOo be with you!

Hey folks, I’m Tiani but most call me T as it’s easier. I have always been attracted to the cyber world and its functionality. I’m a self taught (and always learning) frontend person (I don’t quite feel comfortable calling myself a developer as I’ve been off and on learning as time permits it, primarily through FCC and W3Schools.) I’m 33 years old and a married momma of 5 who is a PT building lead for a commercial cleaning company. I’ve been wanting to break into tech for a long time, even in a PT position, primarily to gain more and build my skills. I enjoy making things look “pretty” and functionally sound.
Not sure what else to say, so I guess if anything if anyone has questions feel free to ask, I’m an open book. ☺️☺️
Hello, Tiani! Be welcome to our community! I feel so happy that in every Welcome Thread, more and more women are joining us. Talking about frontend, do you know websites like CodePen and Frontend Mentor?
Thank you for such the kind welcome, Thaísa!! I know about Codepen, it’s where I have to build the projects from FCC and submit them to get certified by them ☺️☺️ and through one of the posts here I just learned of Frontend Mentor! Definitely something that I’m going to be looking in to soon, as well as a number of the other extensions that were inside the one post. I plan on grabbing a few and adding them to my browser 🙂🙂
It took me a while (and apparently getting with the right guy 😅😅) to admit my love for doing frontend development.
I'm sure you'll build great projects with Frontend Mentor too! Have a great journey!
Hello Tiani! Welcome on dev!
Thank you very much, Antonio! It’s a pleasure to be part of this wonderful community!!
Hello everyone, we are the TECNO Security Vulnerability Bounty Program, we look forward to working with ethical hackers worldwide. If you find a security vulnerability in TECNO products or services, please submit it to us as soon as possible!
Hey everyone, I am surya. Still in my teenage era :) I’m a budding web developer who skilled in html, css, tailwind, bootstrap, and javaScript . I’m here to improve my frontend skills as well as my programming skills.
Hello, Surya! Be welcome to our community! Do you know Frontend Mentor? It's a website with real-life projects for all levels to practice.
Hello Thaisa vieira! I don't know the front end mentor website. I'll look upon it and thanks for letting me know :).
Also check the learning paths from Frontend Mentor, it's something like a guide for topics like responsivity. It's helping me a lot with my studies
Yeah sure.
Hi, I'm Moth. A husband and father of two, I enjoy fishing, hiking, DIY projects, playing Fortnite with family, OSRS, restoring a 1991 Nissan 300zx. I'm an overly optimistic jack of all trades.
I'm just beginning my journey. One of the tasks in this course is to participate in the community. This is how I found DEV, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to meet and learn from each of you here.
This section of the pre-course work has a practice for pseudocode, here is my write up, let me know what you think! :
//Algorithm: Make the bed
// Tasks:
// Spread Fancy Yellow Comforter
// Fold Gray comforter
// Stack White pillows
// Stack Fancy pillows
// Pattern recognition:
// Yellow comforter goes on first
// Grey comforter gets folded
// Fancy pillows are stacked on top of white pillows
// Abstraction:
// Ignore pillow cases
// Ignore white sheet
// Sequence:
//1. Event 1: Spread the comforters:
// Conditional: If (a comforter is yellow) {
// Spread it on top
// } else {
// Gets folded
// }
//Debug: A comforter has a stain on it - what do we do?
// Conditional: If (a comforter is stained) {
// Put it in laundry
// } else if (comforter is yellow)
// Spread it on mattress
// } else if (comforter is gray) {
// Gets folded
// }
//2. Event 2: Stack the pillows:
// Conditional: If (pillow is stained) {
// Put it in laundry
// } else if (pillow is white) {
// Put it on bottom
// } else if (pillow is fancy) {
// Put it on top
// }
Haha, never seen pseudocode written like that, in a good way! Looks like you are on track!
Maybe you could have used the
code, orMake it shine out more. Second post here, so I'm just rambling.
Thank you Liston!! I'm not sure I understand, but I want to learn! Please explain your suggestion to me

Hello everyone! I'm 24 year old, Currently an SDE Intern in node.js, and my doubts end up here. I'm also learning DevOps principles for better professional skills. I like to play guitar when I am not Coding. I hope here to learn more, while contributing whatever I am able to.
Hello Adarsh,

.Playing guitar sounds like a fantastic way to unwind from coding!
Good luck on your learning journey.🍀
