Hello! Long-time lurker, first-time commenter!

I’m a full-stack developer with 20+ years of experience. Seen a lot, done a lot, but the bulk of my work has been with Ruby on Rails.

Also, if you’ve played a crossword puzzle on any device — even webOS or Windows RT/8 devices! — I probably had a hand in getting it there.

I’ve been writing online for years but never about dev matters, and I figured it was time to start.

Thanks y’all for being such a welcoming community!

Sure thing! I've been writing back-end Rails APIs for Stand Alone, Inc.'s best-selling crosswords apps since the Palm OS days, including our day one iOS App Store app (still going strong!) as well as our newer iOS, macOS, and Android crossword apps.

Those services also supported the webOS and WinRT/8 apps, which I authored. Those apps aren't available anymore, for obvious reasons.

The services include standard multi-source puzzle handling, but also cross-platform leaderboards, puzzle syncing, archives, account handling, even multiplayer!

As of late I've constructed front and back-end services for puzzle management, distribution, and subscription handling for independent crossword constructors, which also allows access via third-party apps and services.

So, yeah! That's a lot of time with crossword puzzles! It's always a trip to see someone using one of our apps on the subway and know that I helped make to that happen.

Hi glenn. Is there a company that hires frontend dev even without experience in that field?

Hello,

I have just joined the community, Google brought me here when I was trying to understand Java EE bean annotations.

I am happy enough to code since my childhood, still enjoing it, even at work. My understanding of computing and software design comes from endless hours spent with code, trying to learn from mistakes, learning to optimize things, and solving problems.

Now I work in a corp as senior software engineer.

And have I found suitable answer to my problem here on DEV? I thing so, I try tomorrow morning :)

Happy to be here!

Hi,

I'm clearly a newbie and I do not know why I'm so late to join this community. This site has been very helpful in recent days as I occupied myself with Front-end dev. There are great resources and helpful insights that encouraged me to join and maybe contribute one or two things that I know.

I'm currently a full-time CS student who loves to build web based applications and over the last few months I have been learning 3D interfaces and VR development, which has been a cool but tricky ride.

Excited to join finally! Glad to be here. <3

Hello!
Came here because I like to develop web pages from scratch, because I like to code, I like css and I like to learn/know how the things work from the beggining, and that's saying a lot. So, mainly, I landed here now because I need a Form to my webpage and I have to learn how to code it using html, css, php and sql without using cms or others enchantments. And I think (I want to believe) I found the answer (or the way to, at least).

Hi - I'm Andrew. These days I seem to mostly design projects for non-profits but my first love over the last 20 years has been old-school web development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL. I think you get the idea ;) I hope that being part of this community will enthuse me to keep learning even when AI makes me feel deprecated!

Hi Andrew, nice to hear about another senior programming enthusiast ;)

AI cannot make you deprecated, every machine needs an operator! Anyway, I find it interesting people even mention such feeling and I thing it is worth talk about it!
