How to join a developer community?

How to find mentors/developer friends?

A detailed thread 🧵👇
For context I have been a part of various developer communities for ~3 Years. I have found that learning with people is the best and most effective way to learn.

So here are the ways you can join a developer community:
💻 If you are a student

Many companies have their campus ambassadors/ Hack clubs / Developer club program that you can join or lead in your campus.

Some of my favorites:

⚡️Student Ambassador program @Microsoft (I am a part of this for 2 years now)

Want to learn JavaScript in 2021 ?

Here's a Roadmap for you🧵👇
1. I always recommend people to start with freeCodeCamp's JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification as it benefits both beginners and veteran programmers alike.

With the hands-on approach, you get to learn a lot going on through the modules.
freecodecamp.org/learn/
2. Time to read a book or official documentation

I would recommend you:
Javascript.info
or
MDN: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

It gives an overview of the language. If you need exhaustive information about a language feature you can come back here anytime.
