10 Easy Steps and Animations

This week I did things a little bit differently. 

Although I had already done my first pull request I had found a repo that revolved around teaching people how to properly contribute to projects. 

10 Easy Steps is a repo dedicated to beginners, it caught my interest because it provided lots of different sources of information for anyone. Unfortunately I believe such a pull request may not be sufficient to fulfill requirements for my Release 0.2 project, so to compensate I found another repo. 

The second repo that I pulled was to create animations, I picked this repo because I'm trying to be versatile in all the projects that I do. Up to date I've work with Java, python, JavaScript and now wanted to add CSS to the list. 

To complete that task I've added an animation related to hacktoberfest in the following repo: hacktoberfest-animation

Compared to last week, finding repo's wasn't as tough... I spread my time around the day to view newly created issues. This made things a lot easier as issues weren't assigned to others already. 

As mentioned my first pull request was simple, I had to modify a ReadME file and add information in regards to tech conferences happening around the world. 


The second pull request needed me to create an animation and add its content to the repo.

Improving Others Code !

For this blog I was tasked to find a partner and improve some of their code. I decided to stick to Nathan's code as he used python to create his " PYLinkChecker ". The reasoning behind me as to why I choose his project is simply because as mentionned before I have never worked with python. This was an opportunity for me to learn a bit more about python and get out of my  coding comfort zone.  As I wasn't too familiar with python I also didn't want to overwhelm myself with adding some complicated feature. I previously noticed that his app was missing a bit of color so I took the liberty to make his program slightly more pleasing to the eyes.  As I wasn't working directly from the cmd line, I used GIT desktop to clone and pull his project.  As my changes were somewhat minor and didn't have much of an impact Nathan didn't give too many comments in regards to the changes, he was simply happy that I didn't forget to update his README file as my changes

Intro Blog

-            Why are you taking this course? I'm taking this course as I want to have some experience working with people that I don't know. With COVID-19 I know that working with people that you've never seen face to face is becoming more and more of a reality. I'm hoping that this course teaches me skills that I can later translate in my career. -             What is it about Open Source that attracted you? The ability to openly work on projects and know that it is a whole community of people that just want to improve things make Open Source interesting.  -             Where are you?  I was born in montreal and have a french background but live in Milton, Ontario ( Halton Region ). I moved closer to school when the campus transferred to Newnham but luckily moved back home right before COVID started.     -           What are you hoping to accomplish this term?  I'm looking to challenge myself & use this course to refresh myself with languages

Release 2.3

For this weeks pull request I decided to create my own issue in a project.  I found a data structure & algorithm repo that I could give some input into and also move away from html/javascript forms of coding. I chose this repo because data structures are very important to know as a programmer and some of the examples found in this repo could potentially be interview questions. I had created 2 issues for this repo, I wanted to add code so that one could see how to create a power function and a factorial function. The only difference was that I wanted to show both iteratively and recursively how to code those questions. Initially I had requested that both issues would be assigned to me (which was not an issue to me) but hours later after creating my issues I had some interest from other coders who wanted to add some of their code. Being in the spirit of hackoberfest I let one of the issues go and resolved 1 of the issues. This was interesting to me as I was not expecting for others t
