Hello fellows!!

I remember when I started coding, and that was the first time I touched a computer. I almost cried because I couldn't write the 'Hello World' program, I couldn't understand what is happening. Today I see myself smiling when I remember that day, I am now a senior developer. 😊💻

So inspirational, Ezile. I'm a beginner and sometimes I get stuck in some DSA challenges and feel so bad about it, reading such things renews my hopes and I remember how learning paths can be frustrating.

Hello Devs,
My name is Kendra and my goal is to be a frontend developer.

I have been learning to code for a few years now. As a stay-at-home mom, it has taken me a while to learn. I have done a frontend bootcamp and a few online courses with some breaks in between.

My children are older now and in school, so I am now pushing myself more to get out there and get hired. I still have a ways to go, but I'm ready for the ride. Hopefully I can make some connections here, help others, receive some help/feedback. I've been exploring the dev community for a little while and I love the positive atmosphere I see here.

So far I have learned the basics, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I am currently learning React. I also decided to build a simple portfolio and put it out to the world. Please feel free to check it out and give feedback if you wish.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm Inés, a web developer who loves mixing product management and design. Over the past five years, I've tried out lots of different things.

Before I became a freelancer, I was working in a Berlin-based tech startup as a product manager and later in operations and support.

After that, I started doing websites as a freelancer, but mostly with WordPress, and now, after completing a 3-month full-stack bootcamp, I am working to becoming a good web developer.

Really excited to be part of a dev community ^^

Hello, Jay! Be welcome to our community! I'd like to add that I'm a beginner too and I highly recommend participating in well-structured Discord communities like Frontend Mentor rather than building one because there you will have contact with people with different levels (and learn from them) and will be easy to find study buds for co-studying or building things together
