I came to know about DEV community from Hactoberfest, therfore I am dedicating my first post here to my personal experience with Hacktoberfest.
Background
Before, I tell you about my experience I would like to say I am a complete newbie.
Before, this fest I have no experience in any such even. Earlier I used to think that you need to be an expert to contribute to such events which clearly is not true in this case.
I have little experience in competitive programming an the languages I have ever worked on are C, C++, Python , R, HTML with certain degree of understanding in MySQL database.
What I Learned From Hacktoberfest
Hacktoberfest has been amazing for me I learnt a lot from it. For the first time I worked in an actual team of like minded people to build GitHub repositories.
Apart from this wonderful experience of working with people from all over the world I also learnt a lot about GitHub such as pull request, solving merge conflicts, for the first time I used issues in a GitHub repository.
Overall I would say a great experience for me enjoyed every bit of it and looking forward to continue with more enthusiasm.
