Hacktoberfest

Few more days till October will knock into our windows. Before I start my OSD600 month of October was the month when all celebration begins (Thanksgiving Day, Halloween, preparation for Christmas and Christmas itself). This year everything is different. For many new programmers and programmers who new to open source development this is the month to challenge ourselves in Hacktoberfest.

My very first challenge is to pick a proper issue. I never thought that it will be that hard. It's been already 2 weeks since I start looking into this. And every time I can't decide what will be a good start. This is the time when emotion overlaps with knowledge. On one side I want to pick something that I would like to do but on the other side the fear that my Pull Request will not be excepted make me nervous. After searching through so many issues on the GitHub i pick few issue I will work.

My first goal for this challenge is to gain confidence in programming, in the end of the day this is the field I pick to study and work in. I think Hecktoberfest is the good start.

My second goal and expectation from this event is to collaborate with programmers who have been working in this field for a long time.

My third goal is to contribute to the real projects on the GitHub and also contribute to the companies that are world wide recognized. That's why I pick to work on the Mozilla open source projects.

1. Show percentage for bucket sampling (delivery console)

2. Add comment field for recipes (delivery console)

3. Google images of ...  " command doesn't display images in Google Images

In the end i would like to wish all participants of Hecktoberfest good, and I hope this month will be very productive and successful for every coder.

I will be posting more articles about issues I'm working on and my progress.

Release 0.6

Image
Going back to Telescope. Between release 0.5 and 0.6 I was working on the Telescope project. I was assign to few issues during the 2 weeks period.  My first issue was to add test to make sure our application starts. This issue reference to the page where possibly I can look for solution. Ideally issue -363 should solve: a) make sure that our app is working b) allowed to hit correct root. After reading examples and documentation I have learned that there is 'start-serve-and-test' npm package that starts server, waits for URL, then runs test command; when tests end, shuts down server.  How to use this package: Install this package  npm i  start-server-and-test Add command to the script. In my case Telescope already has command to start server and command for the tests. This way I just had to combine both commands into one that I named "CI" and add localhost.  Indeed this package did not solve the intention  of the issue I was working on. This packa

Hacktoberfest - Issue#3 PR#3

Image
It's been already 3rd week of October and this is mean that Hacktoberfest is going to an end just in 11 days. More PR and more lines of coding, different projects and different problems all this is very familiar to anybody who are in Open Source and specially for the one who participate in Hacktoberfest. In Lab 3 the main task is same as in Lab 1 and Lab 2  it's to find an issue, fix it and create Pull Request. As other times this could not go smoothly. My Lab 2 was base on the contribution to the WordPress Gutenberg project . In Lab 3 I've decided to keep working on the same project but I picked different issue . What was the issue about. To use the proper terms in code to match the Designer Handbook  of Gutenberg project. In the project there are terms "inspector" and "sidebar" which have same meaning. The task was to change name "inspector" to "sidebar". Only JS itself contains 67 files that has name "inspector".

Back on Track or working on the Table Reservation Application

Image
Table Reservation Application is an application with many features. One of the most important features is to reserve a table online and send the form to the restaurant. All summer me and my other two teammates try to accomplish many milestones of this project but due to heavy loads from other subject not everything was implemented. Two months I could not sleep without writing lines of code in order to complete this project. In the end this is how many lines of code I wrote and delete.  Even it is looks like a lot of line of code in the end of the day many features were left out. It hurts me to see that such a beautiful idea was not implemented till the end. Beside that, contributing to the project help me to learn many new things and be on top of the technologies. For example I was able to learn angular material UI. This application was desighn for PRJ666 course in order to graduate from Seneca college with Computer Programming and Analysis diploma. This mean that if I decide to have d
