Release 0.4 part 3

This is the end. The end of not just release 0.4 but also the end of semester. Many things were planned but as usual not everything is done. I completed 2 issues(external, internal) and 2 PR (external, internal) as were required and still had some extra time and I wanted to keep working on other issues. Indeed, when I reach this last week before exam I realize how time consuming extra work could be. Anyway, I did my best to accomplish at least something.

1. While I was working on my external issue I have learn and review few things from C++. My goal in this issue was to increase performance of the compiler.
In this snipped of code calling _STD invoke(_STD declval<_Types>()...) is very expensive in the meaning of performance. That is because template function invoke() is implemented by calling static function call(). So my task was to use _Invoke::Call(), and this will increase performance.

2. In my internal issue, I faced some problems. I was not able to run webhint report due to my Node.js version. Now it is all done, and I'm working on reducing number of errors that has been generated by the report. I'm still working on it and due to the exams next week, it will take me a little longer to investigate on them than I was expected.

In the end this is my last blog post for OSD600 course and in conclusion I would like to say that I had a great time to be in this class. I have learned a lot and also realize how much more still yet to learn.

Release 0.6

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 #1, Pull Request #1

Image
In this article I will continue to talk about my journey through the Open Source Development. As I mention in previous post   I am participating in Hacktoberfest. Requirements for this fest is to submit 4 Pull Request during the month of October in order to get a T-shirt with Hacktoberfest logo. In this post I will talk about my first PR (Pull Request). In the beginning of October I went through many filed issues on the Git Hub in order to find to work on something this month. My very first issue was to create a small animation selector for Hacktoberfest. Hacktoberfest animation. This task was not very complicated but more on a practice to fork, edit code, create PR and merge. Neither this task required any special installation (Visual Code is enough to handle this issue) Steps to complete PR for this issue: 1. Create CSS file with my own animation. In this part I had to do little research on CSS animations. I find many different ideas and how to implement them to get

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
