What's #devchat?

#devchat is a community of developers, asking and answering questions, solving challenges, and having a good time learning together. We are a Slack team, which means that we talk in real time, we share links and resources, and keep things organized.

What's in it for me?

We give away free knowledge and help. We're a very friendly community, open to and respectful of every programming language, level of experience, age, time zone, gender, etc, etc.

What are the big channels?

We've got lots, but the big ones are #python (650+ members), #javascript (650+ members), #java (380+ members), and #webdev (500+ members).

Who's joined #devchat?

Everyone from people who have never programmed before, high school students, self-taught programmers, professional programmers, and students from MIT, Harvard, Columbia University, NYU and CERN. #truestory
