  1. Leave a comment below to introduce yourself! You can talk about what brought you here, what you're learning, or just a fun fact about yourself.

  2. Make some new friends by responding to another newbie's comment 👋 Feel free to follow one another, too!


P.S. If you have a technical question, you've come to the right place! Use the #help tag in a new post to ask the community for assistance with writing your first line of code, picking a tool to use for a particular project, or anything else. No question is too basic.

If you're looking for some moderator-approved resources for coding beginners, head to #webdev101 for web development content and #compsci101 for computer science content ❤️

Hello!

I'm Joan from Nairobi, Kenya.
I've been trying to carve out time to work on side projects and learn more in-depth stuff, aside from work, but have struggled a lot with keeping consistent.
Nice to be here with you all :-)

I'm available to help with any Python questions!

Hi Fellow CodeNewbies,

I am Denis and I am based in the USA. To be specific Minneapolis, Minnesota. Though I actively participate in CodeNewbies twitter chat by answering questions and engaging with people, it is my first time here. I am happy to be here and I am excited to participate in this challenge starting with the writing challenge. Though the challenge started several days ago, I wasn't fully ready to start the challenge until this weekend. I am still going to do it. It's better late than never. It is great to meet you all.

Hi Denis,
I am also in the states, north-east.
How is the political 'weather' in Minneapolis? Did it seem like touch and go for a while?

Hey everyone! My name's Megan and I'm based in SF Bay Area, CA. I graduated from Flatiron School (coding bootcamp) a few months ago and I'm now mainly job searching and doing tons of interview prep. I'm learning TypeScript and attempting to learn Python (not sure if it's a great idea to learn so many things in the meantime lol). Glad to find this community and the positivity here is glowing ✨ and so nice to see so many developers from all over the world!
