The best event ever!

My first time

On August 12 I was a programmer who did not know about GIT, but I saw that I needed to learn GIT, so I started learning it on Youtube, then (maybe destiny) on my facebook this event appears as an angel! I was excited to get in! so I did, even knowing that I was a beginner in this world but I was not afraid.

Background

So, using the "first steps" of hacktoberfest I understood how it works, so let's get to work! I found a lot of open source projects here goodfirstissues and started asking for tasks, a bit simple but they were tasks.

Progress

I'm at finish state of my progress, but my open source contributions will nerver end! I fell in love about GIT and all the comunity in DEV and Github (how I was so blid to not seen?!),
my way was calm and at my own pace and task by task I finish!

Contributions

My contributions are:

  • Added a data structure linear search
  • Searches within an xml file to find information
  • Quick Sort in java!
  • Added my name in a new group of contributors (thanks to my tasks I entered in C0D1NG )

I choose "simple" tasks because I enjoy to do algoritms and how is said in my country "Por algo se empieza" (Starts with something).

Reflections

I love this event and I will do it again my new connections as C0D1NG community is very interisting and nicely! and now I'm looking for a open source project of an android application (because I develop native applications for android) I hope to find it.

Thanks to the entire Hacktoberfest community, DEV and github, you are all part of the "cause" that I love to code for! I keep reading all the interesting posts, so see you around here!
