Rhymus Application

The last day of Hacktoberfest is here and I submit my last pull request. It has been a great exposure to the open-source community. Before starting hacktoberfest I set two goals:

Git - How to use git

C# & TypeScript - Learn new languages

Working with multiple projects, I managed to get a hang of using git. Unfourtonalty I didn't have the chance to give C# & TypeScript. My plan is to focus on this goal for the next month as we dive into working with big open source projects.


rhymus

This week I had the opportunity to work on rhymus. 

the bug was to display the score to the player once the game was over. At first, the developer wanted the score to be displayed in a pop-up. I tried using javascript alert() method on but it didn't look very user-friendly, so I decided to come up with a design and suggest it to him. I decided to add the scoreboard on the card once the game was over and would be removed for a new game. Afterwards, I made the pull request and posted a preview of what I had done for the developer. The developer seemed to like what I had done and merged my fix.

Whiteboard Application: Built with Open Source Projects

I just took my first steps into the open source world and it was amazing. As my first project, I built a note taking application with the help of some open source projects and Github. I’m going to admit, I was a bit scared at first because I hadn’t touched web development in months so I was I rusty in Javascript and other web technologies. Thanks to my instructor, I was able to set-up everything on Github with ease and execute git commands that I had forgotten. All in all it was a good experience and was nice to get back into coding after a long break from it. Whiteboard Application The point of this application is to allow users to takes notes on a webpage. There are also features such as saving what you have written on the whiteboard or clearing the whiteboard all at once. The application was built using the following open source projects: ·          Filer ·          PaperCSS ·   ...

Steps Into Open Source

Visual Studio Code is the project I plan to use to help me get involved within the open source community. Developed by Microsoft, it has become one of the most popular source-code editor out there. An editor with beneficial features built in such as: ·            Debugging ·           IntelliSense ·           Git source control ·           Integrated terminal ·           Extension marketplace Plus there’s so much more that I haven’t mentioned. The application is written in Typescript and supports Windows, OS and Linux. During my internship I came across the release notes of Visual Studio Code for the month of August. Out of curiosity I quickly scanned the notes and reached the bottom of the page. I was amazed at the number of contribu...

Collaborating with issues and pull requests on Github

This week I got the chance to get my hands dirty with some code, learn the ins and outs of git and collaborate on projects on Github. Slowly things are coming back to me after not doing development for a while with Javascript, HTML, and CSS. I also learned something new with CSS which I will discuss below. After a few classes on Git by my instructor, I was lost and confused. But after working on these projects and actually putting what he thought into practice, I managed to get the hang of working with git. I also had the opportunity of working with projects on Github which helped me get some real practice on how to collab with other developers.  I had to opportunity of collaborating with two other developers,  MusaNajwa  and  wajeehsheikh .  After looking at their note-taking applications and looking through their code in the repositories, I decided that there are some few improvements that I can add to their applications. Mirconote Looking at this appl...
