Learning Web Development is never been an easy task for me until I get some real hands-on experience. It's all started in June 2021, I was exploring an open-source program on google, I was also using LinkedIn for finding such technically experienced people. Suddenly, a post comes into my feed and that was about LetsGrowMore. And, then I was come to know that day LetsGrowMore is not just providing open-source enthusiasts a platform to showcase their skills in a different field but also provides an opportunity to undergraduates to work together with them as an intern in various fields.
I grabbed the opportunity with both hands and applied and thus opening the gateway to the Open Source world!
So, Now let's talk about What community is this and how they help the beginner to boost their skills. For beginners, I would first like to clear some things. Here we go:
What is Open Source🤔?
I think you might’ve studied about this. There are generally two types of software that programmers code a closed source software, and open-source software. open-source software is the one for which the source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. This is done to accept bugs, issues, and other features from around the world helping the open-source software community. So next time when you’re on a website like Github, working on a project (repository), and contributing your code to it, consider yourself to be a lucky person because you’re now an open-source contributor, Open source has become a movement and a way of working that reaches beyond software production. The open-source movement uses the values and decentralized production model of open-source software to find new ways to solve problems in their communities and industries.
What is LetsGrowMore🚀?

What I have learned from this program 🧾?
Although I have learned many things but will emphasize some important points here. Having in a huge team is a fantastic experience for me, more than 500+ contributors are working on several projects, invokes teamwork within us which is a very important soft skill a student much have I'm also an introvert before joining this awesome community but after joining I learned many things like how to express my views with others, solving problems, helping new programmers, managing projects. Apart from the art of taking help from others, the art of helping others is also a silent feature of this program.
Please forgive me if I have done any grammatical errors in this article as I’m yet improving my English.
