    Hi everyone!

    I am a beginner web developer. Now I'm learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
    I'm glad to found this community!

    Any help is appreciated!

      Hey @tamas_klement
      Welcome to the community. Good to seeing you on the track of mastery in web development. Sure what would you like some assistance with? Project ideas, project collaboration or even self marketing, as I am also on the same web development journey, I would enjoy helping you 😌

      • Tamás Klement
        Tamás KlementJan 16, 2025

        Hi! Thank you for your message! I would be interested in my self marketing! Not long ago I started making my portfolio page. It will contain a landing page with a short introduction, a contact form, and some projects I have implemented. Do I need anything else?

        • Tinotenda Mhedziso
          Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 16, 2025

          Sounds like you already have a solid basis in what is required in a normal portfolio already which is good. Along with the elements that you mentioned you could add a testimonial/ references section. I understand you may not have any clients or companies you have worked with since you are a beginner such as myself but the way you can work around this is by adding some team members you have collaborated with or some open source projects can be highlighted as well in your project section. This will show that you are not only an expectational developer but you are able to work efficiently with a team, a nature most if not all developers undertake. Also don't forget to deploy your projects (if websites use GitHub pages) so that non technical people (HR) can see the idea you are selling more vividly.👌

            Tamás KlementJan 17, 2025

            Thank you very much for the good advice! I'm still very new to web development, so I haven't had the chance to work with others yet. I am looking for such opportunities. Then I can add it to my reference. Do you know people who are happy to cooperate with beginners?

            • Tinotenda Mhedziso
              Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 18, 2025

              That is understandable @tamas_klement
              In this very thread there are lots of beginner web developers such as yourself here. You can reach out to them through replying since dev.to doesn't offer direct messaging yet, alternatively if you can find their other socials such as X, LinkedIn or even email you can contact them through there. You have just found yourself one of those said people (Me) through engaging with the community. I am willing to review and collaborate on projects you currently have or are thinking of working on. To collaborate efficient (with me or any developer ) I highly recommend GitHub for version control, it will make your and other's development easier.

      That is the sprite of a true software engineer. Never stop learning and keep improving your skills. This reminds me of henry ford's quote.

      Are you on Twitch? Lots of game dev going on there. Was on there for a while and used Unity to create some cool music response stuff. Using the mic directly as well as from a websocket input with bands from external system. I do LED music response, so this was to allow 3D scenes that react with the music and LED lights together.

      Created some 3D based voice reaction stuff I still use while streaming.

      Fun stuff.

      I don't do much with it right now, but loved diving into your world for a few months.

        Hey there Campbell,
        Welcome to the dev.to community
        Sure, as someone who has also started learning JavaScript recently, I would love to help you.
        What do you need help with?

        1. Understanding the fundamentals [ Variables, functions, Arrays etc ]
        2. Getting some beginner projects done [ Todo App (Classic), Portfolio, Calculator etc ]
        3. Where to learn JS:

        If you are more of a visual learner I highly recommend Bro Code on YouTube.
        I am no expert but I am also willing to collaborate on mini projects with/ teach you (Practice and experience are key teachers in learning code). Please feel free to ask any questions or reach out to me personally if needed 👌😌

            Can you also provide some tips to learn programming.
            How do you learn on those websites?

            • Tinotenda Mhedziso
              Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 17, 2025

              One common trap us beginners often fall into is underestimating the learning process. Whether you're diving into the basics or tackling more complex concepts, keep these tips in mind:

              - Don’t Overlook the Essentials

              Focus on what you should know. Skipping over fundamental concepts can cause gaps in your understanding later on.

              - Avoid Skimming

              Learning isn’t just about exposure—it's about understanding. If you’re simply browsing through content, you might feel like you "get it," but deep comprehension takes time. Go at your own pace.

              - Bridge Theory and Practice

              Understanding concepts theoretically is great, but true mastery comes from practical application. Put what you’ve learned into action—practice what you preach (literally lol).

              - Master the Basics First (Yes I am Emphasizing the basics a lot :)...)

              It’s easy to get excited about advanced topics because they seem more impressive or project-worthy. Resist the urge to skip ahead. A solid foundation in the basics is essential for long-term success.

              - Quality Over Quantity

              You don’t need 15 projects using every JavaScript library in existence. Focus on building a few solid projects using the most widely-used libraries and frameworks.

              - Research In-Demand Skills

              Investigate the tech stacks popular in your region or desired industry. Alternatively, if you’re aiming for a specific company, check which niche technologies they use and tailor your learning accordingly.

              - Stay Passionate Through Challenges

              Programming is a mix of joy and frustration. Some days you’ll have a lot of fun (trust me), and other days.... you’ll be digging through outdated documentation or chasing down elusive answers on Stack Overflow because someone found the fix to your specific error but never posted it (`love when this happens_😂). Remember:

              Passion over pain

              (Literally my digital name hehe). It’s your journey, and only you have the power to navigate it.

              Final Note: You’ve got this! Keep moving forward and never let temporary setbacks define your learning process. 🔥

              Good luck, @campbell_jnbaptiste_5e47! 👌😌

                Thank you!!!
                I actually just make two projects
                A todo-list and a kind of market where you can put item to your cart, the cart will update each time a product is added and give you the total amount but still it's not good yet cause I want to make the program able to recognize when the same product is added over and over.
                For the todo-list I just want to make the change permanent where I can close the page but once I reload it to find my previous work.

                • Campbell Jn Baptiste
                  Campbell Jn BaptisteJan 17, 2025

                  Thank you very much.
                  I actually made two projects
                  -todo-list app but I didn't find out a way to store my task so even though I close the page but my task will stay still whenever I return to the page. Like a localstorage

                  -market where you add product to your cart they will be updated each time you put a new one in it and give you the total amount for them. I want to improve it by making it smart enough to recognize a product that has already been added.

                    Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 17, 2025

                    Okay so from my perspective here is how I would approach those two dilemmas:

                    • Market Web App: Keeps track of items and quantities in a cart using an array of objects and updates dynamically.

                    • Todo List: Uses localStorage for persistence, ensuring your tasks are saved across sessions.

                    Try Problem One Yourself First, Then Here Is a Possible Solution:

                    
                    
                    // Initial items in the store
                    let items = [
                      { Name: "Bread", Price: 2, Quantity: 0 },
                      { Name: "Butter", Price: 3, Quantity: 0 },
                      { Name: "Milk", Price: 1.5, Quantity: 0 }
                    ];
                    
                    // Shopping cart starts empty
                    let shoppingBag = [];
                    
                    // Function to add items to the shopping bag
                    function addToBag(itemName, qty) {
                      // Find the item in the store
                      let item = items.find(i => i.Name === itemName);
                    
                      if (!item) {
                        console.log("Item not found!");
                        return;
                      }
                    
                      // Check if the item is already in the shopping bag
                      let cartItem = shoppingBag.find(i => i.Name === itemName);
                    
                      if (cartItem) {
                        // If the item exists, update the quantity
                        cartItem.Quantity += qty;
                      } else {
                        // If it's a new item, add it to the cart with the given quantity
                        shoppingBag.push({ ...item, Quantity: qty });
                      }
                    
                      // Print the updated shopping bag
                      console.log("Shopping Bag Updated:", shoppingBag);
                    }
                    
                    // Example Usage
                    addToBag("Bread", 2); // Adds 2 Bread
                    addToBag("Milk", 1);  // Adds 1 Milk
                    addToBag("Bread", 1); // Updates Bread to 3 in the cart
                    
                    
                    Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

                    Try Problem Two Yourself First, Then Here Is a Possible Solution:

                    
                    // Get saved todos from localStorage or initialize an empty array
                    let todos = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("todos")) || [];
                    
                    // Function to add a todo
                    function addTodo(task) {
                      todos.push({ task: task, completed: false });
                      saveTodos();
                      console.log("Todo Added:", task);
                    }
                    
                    // Function to toggle task completion
                    function toggleTodo(index) {
                      if (todos[index]) {
                        todos[index].completed = !todos[index].completed;
                        saveTodos();
                        console.log(`Todo ${index} marked as ${todos[index].completed ? "completed" : "incomplete"}`);
                      }
                    }
                    
                    // Function to save todos to localStorage
                    function saveTodos() {
                      localStorage.setItem("todos", JSON.stringify(todos));
                    }
                    
                    // Function to display todos
                    function displayTodos() {
                      console.log("Current Todos:");
                      todos.forEach((todo, index) => {
                        console.log(`${index + 1}. ${todo.task} [${todo.completed ? "Completed" : "Incomplete"}]`);
                      });
                    }
                    
                    // Example Usage
                    addTodo("Learn JavaScript"); // Adds a new task
                    addTodo("Build a todo app"); // Adds another task
                    toggleTodo(0);               // Marks the first task as completed

                    That was a lot... If needed you can reach out to me on GitHub so I can review things in the future, collab or add issues instead of answering here in the dev.to welcoming thread , plus PRs will make merging easier than copying and pasting, you know version control and all.

    Hey people,

    I'm a self-taught frontend dev with experience in AdTech, GreenTech, Healthcare and a little mix of other stuff. Worked for several years at Ukrainian outsourcing company, moved to NY, US, tried to land a software engineering job and faced a crushing truth that I'm just a soydev and my expertise is not that deep to consider myself a valuable expert in what I'm used to do. Despite landing a kind of a tech role anyway, my last couple month of job search made me rethink my career path and my priorities, so now I feel that I'm at an early stage of my career again and I'm eager to deepen my knowledge in all things Web and beyond. In addition, since I'm a US newcomer, I would love to network and build relationships with people who do this thing beyond their 9-5 here.

    Peace ✌️

    Hello out there in devLand! A YouTube video from Fireship brought me here. I'm a self-taught front-end web developer who has been stuck in a tutorial nightmare for the past 2 years. I'm hoping to immerse myself into the dev community and would like to find some like minded peers/mentorship. I'm currently working on getting a deeper understanding of the fundamentals, (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), and hoping to build some projects to show potential employers that are not just cookie cutter, slightly edited copies from a YouTube video I watched. The dream is to land my first job in tech and create a better future for myself and my family. I'm determined to make that dream a reality this year. Thanks everyone for being a part of this journey with me.

    • Tinotenda Mhedziso
      Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 18, 2025

      Ahh classic Fireship, such a legend. Glad to see we are subscribed to similar content on YouTube @devcecelia . First off I must commend your determination to get out of tutorial (opposite of heaven devs call it 😂), honestly we all start like that, having these big aspirations but not knowing how to manifest them into reality. What worked for me is just starting... Seriously whatever it is right? Start with a simple small function or even a simple landing page/ hero section then build on that. You continue building, building... building... More Building then the process becomes Lego, just more fun and less painful to step on. If you don't know where to start, make something centered around your hobbies/interests (imagine your very own family photo gallery.. it will teach you a lot about css flexbox, grid display, pagination, sliders etc AND you will be passionate about it to show it to them = more desire to progress).

      • Cecelia Braswell
        Cecelia BraswellJan 22, 2025

        Hi Tinotenda! Thanks so much for your response and words of wisdom. I especially love the analogy to Legos. It's advice that I'm currently taking. I want to build one awesome project to showcase on my portfolio that's all me, instead of a YouTube tutorial that I changed a few lines of code on. I'm currently working on an art portfolio for A.I. generated images of cats in different painting styles. I figured why not combine two things that I love, cats and coding. I'm calling it Artificial Purrfection. I've linked the GitHub if you want to check it out. I'd love some feedback or any further advice you may have to offer.

        The deployed site.

        • Tinotenda Mhedziso
          Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 23, 2025

          I like the idea of Artificial Purrfection 😂 and well said, truly: You don't want to just in a constant loop of thinking you are making progress when you are just following the leader, when given the chance to be your own leader, it will be more difficult to adapt if you haven't taken charge of your own work. I checked it out and it looks good so far, I can already get a vision of what is to come and that's difficult to attain in the early stages of design. I see it's responsive as well which is good. I have forked the project and will keep up to date with the project itself. I have also sent you a connection request on LinkedIn so you can notify me of any major changes/ we can discuss how I can contribute as well as just to be friends 😌

      Most encryptions, if not all have a decryption algorithm that is tailor made to them. Don't feel overwhelmed by it all @carmenmyo , you'll master these skills in due time, you just have to find your own decryption algorithm to this cryptic stuff. Also, glad to hear you are an experienced designer of sorts, I would love to hear your thoughts on a couple of projects I have developed myself ? They work in functionality but I don't know about design and beauty is in the eye of the beholder therefore I am a bit biased when judging my designs 😂 Welcome to the community.

    • Tinotenda Mhedziso
      Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 18, 2025

      From a junior dev, who also feels like college qualifications don't really equip you with essential skills to become an Actual developer these days ( I haven't worked in industry but have experienced enough school to the extent that I know what I know and it's not enough, sure it's a base to build on but these days the requirements are extremely high. Even for entry level), to another: I am also building myself outside of academics and would enjoy walking this road with you @limuss , welcome to the dev.to fam. 👌✔

      • limuss
        limussJan 20, 2025

        Yup, college academics is all about attendance ( which eventually is a waste of time ) , attending boring lectures of professors on outdated topics/ subjects. It is great to hear that you are equipping yourself with skills outside the academics . Believe me there is a lot of f**king gap between what is taught in college (also the way they teach) and the industrial knowledge.

        Yup it will be a great journey ; am damn sure about it .. thanks a lot .

        • Tinotenda Mhedziso
          Tinotenda MhedzisoJan 20, 2025

          That's why it's great to see other juniors join communities. You spend most of your time sheltered in college thinking that paying so much in tuition will get you a high paying job rather than going out off your way to do more. Companies should be willing to invest in people who invest in themselves and as the current costs of college rise, the value of a qualification should too from a financial perspective. The fact that you are paying so much, that should be a testament to your eagerness to learn or at least a basis of it but no. You need more. At the end of the day it's what we seek not what is given, sounds greedy but people need to make ends meet. Also do you have a GitHub @limuss ? I would love to review your work or get feedback on some of my projects sometime. While I am not knowledgeable in Java I do know quite a bit about JavaScript and C#.

      Seeking Collaborators for Healthcare Tech to Track Expiry Dates on Medicine Strips
      Many people buy medicine strips but don’t use the whole strip. As a result, they leave unused pills that may expire, leading to wastage. Additionally, without a visible expiry date on the partially used strips, people often become doubtful about using them after a long period.

      Details:
      This causes confusion and prevents people from using the medicine, resulting in unnecessary wastage. The absence of a clear expiry date on the remaining pills can lead to financial loss and health risks.

      I’m thinking of developing a mobile app that helps users track medicine usage and expiry dates. By scanning the barcode on the medicine strip, the app will notify users when the medicine is about to expire or if it's still safe to use. This will help reduce waste and improve medication safety.

      I have zero idea on how to do but I just want to find like-minded people who can help me in my learning journey

    I look forward to getting inspired by the DEV community and periodically giving back my experience by sharing focused articles about interesting challenges I faced with the solutions I have built.

    Cheers,
    Krzysztof

    It was Tracy Kidder's "The Soul of a New Machine" who triggered my interest in computing, developing me as a computer salesman in the eighties. I had to learn about computer languages, swap memory, networking, operating systems, etc. in a time without pc's and Nintendo's Donkey Kong was most popular for my kids. Always I am poking around coding and now I want to find out how I can capture flags.

    Hello folks,

    My name is Marco, like you I'm also a software developer, my main focus has been Android Development for the past five years, along with some Backend and Frontend development. I worked with Embedded systems before that, but currently I'm an AI and Data Science enthusiast, despite the apocaliptic nature of some of my articles. Currently looking for a project to be part of, or a new opportunity I can contribute to.

    I just Landed on this platform a couple of minutes ago to find some amazing articles on tech talks, but that made me more curious to open the window more and clearly spend an hour without realizing a bit. People here are quite interested in an ocean of categorized knowledge. I love it!

    Starting my WebDev journey with some writing as well, to get deeper into the topic and hopefully find some like-minded people to learn and evolve with :)

    As I'm an IT guy in my work life as well, I think this will be pretty good in line.🤓

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Nam Nguyen, I'm the creator of SiteGUI a low-code, AI powered open-platform for e-commerce and business operations that supports 3rd party apps and templates.

I'm eager to start connecting with other developers, let's connect.
