Jack Wenyoung • Feb 28 '24

Hi everyone, My name is Jack Wenyoung. I'm a Pythoner who develops backend, web scrapers, and serverless lambdas. Right now I'm studying Textual for building TUI, Wagtail for website building, and a few machine learning for working requirements.
I have been attracted by dev.io's UI and wonderful content which led me to decide to join.
Fun fact about me, I have five adorable cats and one dog.

Igor Dubinin • Feb 28 '24

Hi everyone!
My name is Igor, and I'm a software developer. I have been working as a developer since 2012, and I have commercial experience in html coding, frontend, backend, mobile development, different languages and frameworks. I wrote a few articles about algorithms, backend, fronted, and microservices.
And there is a fun fact about me - I joined dev.to in 2020 but received a ”Writing Debut” budget now.
Have a good day, best regards!

Paweł Ciosek • Feb 28 '24

Hello! Nice to have you here! 👏

Michael Tharrington • Feb 29 '24

Welcome back, Igor! My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here at DEV.

Anyway, I hope the Writing Debut badge experience wasn't too confusing. 😅 We just created but wanted to retroactively reward it to everybody that has written on DEV... but our delivery wasn't as smooth as we had hoped, haha.

Regardless, I'm really glad it brought ya back onto DEV. 🙌

Keith Solomon • Feb 28 '24

Hello!

I am a veterinarian. My hobby is learning Rust. I would like to know what are the best place and tools for Rust developing.
Thank you,

Michael Tharrington • Feb 29 '24 • Edited

Heyo!

Awesome to have a vet here. My wife is a veterinarian!

BTW, my name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager at DEV. If you have questions about using the platform, just hit me up!

To answer your question about where to go to learn Rust, for starters, I'd def recommend following the #rust tag!

#rust

This tag is for posts related to the Rust programming language, including its libraries.

Personally, I am not learning Rust nor am I developer, so can't say that I have the best suggestions, but I'm gonna throw a few posts your way anyway from some folks that I think would be helpful.

@link2twenty recently shared this beginner-friendly article:

Learning Rust: A clean start

Andrew Bone ・ Feb 26

#rust #learning #beginners

Also, I've noticed @francescoxx writing lots of Rust content this year!

Francesco Ciulla

Check YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@francescociulla

I'm sure there are others who I am leaving out here, but these are two that come to mind with more recent posts!

Francesco Ciulla • Mar 3 '24

thank you

Anita Olsen • Feb 28 '24

Hello! Welcome to the DEV community!

Brooke Metoxen-Smith • Mar 2 '24

Podcast. They usually delve into interviews with developers working with it or improvements after. Great advice provided in them if you haven't already checked it out!

Kaamkiya • Mar 3 '24

Welcome to DEV! Nice hobby and amazing job :)

Subaash • Feb 28 '24

Atul.A.Das • Feb 28 '24

Hi, great to be here. My name is Atul. I like doing Machine Learning and Deep Learning models and I have done a few Data Analysis Projects as well and I use Python to do the same. I really like the collaborative learning experience of Dev Community. I really look forward to learn more in these topics and implement new ideas.

Fun fact about me: I can speak in 5 languages.

Great to be here again :)

Subaash • Feb 28 '24

Hey Community ! This side Utkarsh. I'm a backend developer (NodeJS) looking for full time opportunities. I'm currently learning AWS and working on backend projects. I'm also interested in Developer Relations. Hoping to learn and contribute in the Community !

Michael Tharrington • Feb 29 '24

Heyo! It's good to have ya with us Utkarsh.

My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here at DEV. Sounds like you'll fit right in with the other folks here on DEV. 🙌

Since you're learning AWS, I'd like to point ya to the organization, AWS Community Builders:

AWS Community Builders

The AWS Community Builders DEV organization is the unofficially official place for our community members to create and share content for other AWS builders.

It's probably the largest org on DEV and it's made up of folks who in the AWS community — i.e. it's primary community members and not as much AWS team members. Anyway, this group is regularly creating helpful tutorials and talking about their experiences using AWS.

There's also AWS Heroes which I believe is again community members, but this group is more vetted and includes highly experienced individuals.

AWS Heroes

This is a collection of articles written by AWS Heroes.

Anyway, I realize you're hear for more than just AWS, but hope this info is helpful.

If you have any questions about using DEV, feel free to hit me up!

Utkarsh Hadgekar • Feb 29 '24

It's amazing to join this organization's and learn from the folks. I'll explore more. Thanks for Sharing @michaeltharrington !

Subaash • Feb 29 '24

Hello Utkarsh. Welcome to the awesome community. We are glad that you are hear to contribute to the community. And yes, you'll find great connections here.

Utkarsh Hadgekar • Feb 29 '24
