Hi.

I´m a 61 years old young man. I´ve worked as a developer since 1986; now I´m trying to move to Laravel and it has been a litle difficult due to its simplicity.

I will try to do my best in this new learning stage of my life.

Hi all,

I am a web and app developer living in the Boston area. I work at Education Development Center and do a mix of front-end development, Drupal development, eLearning consulting, app development. I also work as a tutor / writing coach / homework coach and write about web development both here and on Medium.

At EDC we are right now in the midst of some Drupal upgrades and migrations, which represent the majority of our work this year. I have been writing about about my experience with a D8/D9 upgrade this week here on Dev.to.

Before coming to EDC, I taught high school biology & other sciences. During that time, I wrote and illustrated the Dr. Birdley Teaches Science series.

While I grew up in Virginia, I have now spent more of my life in Massachusetts. Outside of work I enjoy illustration, running, writing about technology, and playing my son at chess.

Nice to meet everyone and I hope to see you in some of the forums.

Hi everyone! I'm Brieanna, I'm from Pennsylvania, USA and I'm currently a Game Dev major (graduating Dec. 2022). I fell in love with coding about 7 years ago and finally decided to pursue what I really wanted to do. Most of my experience lies with C# and C++, but I do have some experience with Java and Python as well. I also have some experience with Git (as well as GitHub and TortoiseGit), Visual Studio, etc.

I hope to do some game jams before I graduate, and maybe even find some people to work on side projects with as well. Networking is always great too! :)

Hi!

I'm not a web developer but I really want to become one. So far, I have mastered the html language (I needed it for uploading content to the site) and the basics of css. Where would you advise me to start? I don't like paid courses, but eager to grow up as a self-taught person. Thanks in advance for the advice!
