Why did you become a developer? πŸ’‘
I used to love Maths, Science and Technology in my school time. And I chose Computer Science as my major in college as I used to love solving problems specially mathematical problems and was curious about how different websites are created, how softwares are developed. I started with web development in my 2nd year and from then onwards I started building webpages and maintaining websites. I like how programming allows us to develop new softwares and create whatever we want. And that's how I became a Software Developer.

What's your content experience, have you used a CMS? πŸ’¬
It's been only two months that I have started working as a Software Developer but I am new to CMS.

Have you ever heard of Headless CMS? Strapi? Jamstack tools? πŸ€”
No, I haven't heard of it until recently. I just got to know about it during this conference and it seems so cool. Excited to know more about it.

Have you ever heard of Headless CMS? Strapi? Jamstack tools? πŸ€”

I really love creating news websites, news designs and others stuffs !
Creating from scratch can be scary at first, but lately I really enjoy seeing the website evolve πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ˜„

What's your content experience, have you used a CMS? πŸ’¬

Yes, not much for me but I used WordPress. I use NuxtJS static content for my new website (if you want to see that πŸ‘€)

Have you ever heard of Headless CMS? Strapi? Jamstack tools? πŸ€”

A1 - The power of being able to create websites and apps that I used to be amazed with growing up is probably the reason I decided to take Computer Science and become a developer.

A2 - I had dabbled with WordPress for a while last month, but I haven't made anything significant with it.

A3 - I have heard about headless CMS on my twitter feed, but I didn't research further on it since I wanted to focus or JavaScript basics at first. But would love to try out Strapi for my next project, it looks really cool and intuitive

Why did you become a developer? πŸ’‘
Honestly, I never thought of becoming a developer. But when I had to choose among other courses, I found Computer Science fascinating and one which could provide me with lots of opportunities. I am glad that I made the right choice.

What's your content experience, have you used a CMS? πŸ’¬
Yeah I am familiar with Wordpress, but if I am in no hurry, I prefer to work the old way.

Yes I have heard of Strapi, but have never used it. But I might use it in the future.

Why did you become a developer? πŸ’‘

I wanted to make a positive impact on the world, and solving problems using code was a surprisingly satisfying and convenient way to do it.

What's your content experience, have you used a CMS? πŸ’¬

I have used Wordpress for making a school faculty website and Strapi for a community hackathon site before. Strapi is a lot more developer friendly compared to Wordpress.

Have you ever heard of Headless CMS? Strapi? Jamstack tools? πŸ€”

I have heard of headless CMS before and once saw that Strapi is a good choice to get started with the concept. However, I'm still not very familiar about the "headless" concept and would love to learn more about it.

would love to connect with Strapi and fellow devs that are keen to learn together ✨ : my twitter handle

Why did you become a developer? πŸ’‘
I've always been passionate about technology and design, and that's what got me into web development. I really love doing mockups and UI designs first and do the whole process properly and then code it to create projects. Integration of design and web development is the reason I'm an aspiring web developer right now.

What's your content experience, have you used a CMS? πŸ’¬
Yes, back on my internship, our company mainly uses WordPress to create websites and for CMS as the company has a event blogs.

Have you ever heard of Headless CMS? Strapi? Jamstack tools? πŸ€”
I've heard about the terms but I'm not knowledgeable on implementing these technologies yet.

Hey Strapi team! I'm Aaron, (@aaronmccollum_ on Twitter) and I like your booth!

I became a developer after learning some HTML for a previous job and loving the process. I find the IT industry really fascinating, and I want to work with others and build some great things with code!

I have used CMS products in the past with blogging - Wordpress, Blogger way back in the day (pre-Google Blogger).

I have never heard of headless CMS tools or Strapi! So this is my first time hearing about it, however I'm going to check out the links above.

Thanks for being here today!
