MY JOURNEY WITH GOOGLE CODE-IN 2017
HUZZAH !! I’m very glad to be a part of the “GOOGLE CODE-IN CONTEST 2017” since 22 days when I joined. This is my first time experience as a participant in this Entire contest. This is my Fourth Task regarding “GOOGLE CODE-IN CONTEST 2017” ,Where I have to write a blog introducing myself and sharing my experience regarding the contest and journey with it. Myself Parth Pandya, a student from class 11. Yes!! I’m fond of computer by the way ! Initially, at school we do C language programs and coding. I like that much! but, apart from this I like to do documentation, training, User interface, outreach and research too. In “GCI-2017” My first task was-:”Getting familiar with BRL-CAD community”(Ballistic research laboratory-computer aided design).In which I joined the community by subscribing it. Then I explored about it a bit more by reading the contributors Guide. I browsed all the section on “BRL-CAD’s” website(http://brlcad.org) to explore more. I also subscribed it’s mailing list. Then I was asked that if I have some questions ad wanted to be answered immediately, I should join “Zulip” chat where all come to discuss topics and questions.All my doubts got cleared there within a Day talk! With this I also visited facebook page and followed it. This was my great experience. In the second level of this contest my task was -:”Learn How to Fork a Repository and Support Outreach and Visibility of FOSSASIA Projects”. I did what I was told. I joined Gitter [WHERE DEVELOPERS COME TO TALK]there where some core contributors around the world come to talk about various topics @ (https://gitter.im/fossasia/fossasia) At last, I completed my all the three tasks …..! I was informed late about this otherwise I would have completed more than three tasks and hence my only moto in the last days of GCI-2017 was to complete three tasks and claiming T-shirt. Hence, I did that with my all huge efforts ! Google gave me the best experience in this entire contest. At last, Goolgle honoured me with a Digital Certificate and an Astonishing Google-Printed T-shirt.
