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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--Egd4vdRb--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/w1h7flgxfvealqgkv40m.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--Egd4vdRb--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/w1h7flgxfvealqgkv40m.png" alt="Alt Text"></a></p> <h2> What I Learned From Hacktoberfest </h2> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Overall I would say a great experience for me enjoyed every bit of it and looking forward to continue with more enthusiasm.</p> hacktoberfest
