Some New Learnings

Software Engineering comes with a lot of good learning opportunities. First you learn how to write something by reading tutorials, watching videos etc, Then down the time you learn some new ways to do the same thing and you are blown by it. But only after some days you actually encounter the real hard problem in Computer Science. Some of them are:

Open Source

I joined github in 2010 and it has been my primary source for reading and writing code. I took my baby steps doing open source programming reading others code and it has been a good source of knowledge for me. Since then I have written quite some open source software. I have written some javascript, python and go code and shared those projects in github. Open Source has quite some good benefits as it gives you a nice place to hack on things that fancy your imagination.

Why I Write Code

I think I was hardly 10 years old when I wrote my first line of code. It was probably some IBM PC and the language was LOGO. It was so much fun. Next, It was GW Basic, then Java and then C/C++/Python. I have been writing code professionally for 5 years now and I still enjoy writing code.
