Joining the Hive Community as Developer
I made the decision to start taking things seriously when I graduated from high school in 2018 and joined IPMC to do a software engineering course before enrolling in college. My first introduction to a programming language was C++, and I struggled to understand its foundations for weeks. I got introduced to HTML and CSS after creating a few terminal applications and after deciding I wanted to work on something more graphical and user-friendly. The following weeks were spent learning a lot and developing side ventures. I was able to develop frontend websites that were fully responsive after a month.
After a few months at IPMC, I made the decision to enroll in a college course in information technology. I spent my first year learning the fundamentals of IT, and during my second year, I helped initiate a tech hub with a few friends that was intended to use IT to solve complex problems in the Northern region of Ghana. I learned a lot about teamwork and gained some technical skills while I was at the hub working with the web development team.
After completing my undergraduate studies, I began my national service at University for Development Studies, where I built and maintained the institution's online application. I gained a lot of knowledge about Linux servers and how to set them up as well.
I also joined a health technology startup that aims to transform the way the world provides healthcare.
It’s been a long way coming, I am keen to learn more about The Hive community and its projects, as well as the technical aspects of building dApps on the blockchain. I believe that being part of this community will enable me to gain a deeper understanding of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and decentralized finance (DeFi), which will be valuable for me as a developer. I am excited to learn from the experts in The Hive community, contribute to its growth and success, and collaborate with others to build innovative and impactful dApps.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to @abdul01 for introducing me to the hive community.

Surely @abdul01 will explain you how bloggin works in Hive. Anyway my recommendations are to create original content, plagiarism is penalized, always put the sources of the images that belong to us, respect the copyright and interact with other users to publicize your blog.
For your profession, you will love the Programming & Dev community

Hello on this mighty fine day and nice to meet you! I found your account because I got a message you are new, and because the beginning can be difficult I swung by with some tips.
You took the step to become a blogger and that’s great. I like to welcome you to the Hive blockchain and platform. A very extensive platform of fun and words.
As of now you are a hiver or newBee as we are calling ourselves. This moment is perfect to give some tips and help you get started.
Also maybe you used the #introduceyourself tag and more hivers come with tips and tricks so the first steps won’t be that difficult. Still take your time because we are so diverse it will take some time to understand and earn.
I was welcomed with good advice too when I started so here I am just returning the favour. I know that Hive may seem very overwhelming right now but don't worry. After a few blogs and write ups you will be a great blogger and contributor, just stay away from texts that aren’t yours.
A great tip is getting discord. Discord will for sure help you and get you talking to other hivers without going to comments on blogs. It’s free and quick and alongside hive very helpful to have. If you don’t have discord already view this blog:

If that’s is not your wish and you have any questions just ask your questions on any of my blog posts and I'll be more than happy to assist you with whatever questions you may have! I may know the answer. If not I will for sure know a hiver who does know the answer
Very important is to never give up any off your passwords , they are yours! Never give them up!!
To blog I use Peakd and Ecency .
Ecency also has an App , I use it and it is great, it gives you insight on what is happening in your account, and on my phone I am never behind on the things I want to see or read.
App is available for free for iOS and android.
For discord Ecency here is your free invite:

Okay thanks, I'd make sure I do that
Welcome aboard, Abukari! I'll delegate some resource credits to help you comment and post more often while you get started. The best way to build a good audience is to be a good audience for others, so create conversations!
Be sure to write down your keys and keep them somewhere safe. Here is another writer's overview of which keys do what. Beware of scammers who promise quick riches or mystery airdrops, and don't enter your keys anywhere carelessly.
The HIVE community tends to be welcoming, but rewards may drop off after your introduction. Persevere! The path to success is not always fast and easy. Avoid plagiarism and spam in your posts. You'll make progress in due time. Here's a great post from another blogger with some helpful advice, too.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I don't have all the answers, but I am glad to help if I can.
