My First Blog

Hello, my name is Xiongye Jiang. I'm studying at Seneca college so far. And this is my 5th semester at Seneca. For the last two semesters of my program, I can choose a few professional courses from the 16 courses that Seneca offered. The first time I noticed a course called Open Source Development, I knew that this was the one for me! Obviously, as a programmer, we are going to work with the open-source environment in the future. And this course will gain a lot of real work experience for working in an open-source environment.

I'm currently living in Toronto, Canada. My personal goal for this term is I can learn something about Open Source Development. Also, through this course, I hope I can become more and more comfortable working with other people because we have to work with other team members in real life!

Honestly, I'm still having a vague understanding of coding stuff or being a programmer. But one thing I know is I'm more prefer coding a Web Application. I like the flexibility of coding with HTML, CSS and the creativity of the website I build.

The GitHub trending repo I researched is Minimal Mistakes Jekyll theme. It's a repository for building personal sites, blogs, and portfolios. As I mentioned above, I prefer coding a web application. And this repository is a perfect example for me to learn about how to make an amazing website.
