      <guid>https://dev.to/juliabrazolim/my-first-hacktoberfest-3g8o</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This was the first time I made contributions to projects on Github and I was only able to do so due to Hacktoberfest 2020. Before that, I had a certain fear of making a pull request, because I didn't know the basics of Git and thought that people would reject my contributions because I did something wrong... or whatever, that I wasn't good at. I say this because Github is a Universe still being explored by me, that I'm getting to know little by little. And Git, was something that I haded problems to "record" the commands in my mind...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But finding repositories that brought in your README step by step to make pull requests gave me some peace of mind. Another thing that helped me a lot was this video of the Brazilian programmer Claudson Oliveira:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width="710" height="399" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Du04jBWrv4A"&gt;
&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I Learned From Hacktoberfest 2020
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And beyond finally learning how to make extraction requests, I learned that the amazing open source projects have easy, complicated and difficult questions to solve. Another thing is that you don't just have to contribute code. You can help translate a structure or you can contribute README that needs proofreading or more content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  My contributions
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started with the basics: learn to pull request with Git. And for that, I followed the steps described in the README and sent my name to this repository &lt;a href="https://github.com/codersanjeev/learn-git"&gt;codersanjeev/learn-git&lt;/a&gt;. This was just a test. 😌&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Okay, after that I went hunting for projects that needed contributions (and that were using the Hacktoberfest tag). I tried to give priority to Brazilian repositories for two reasons: Brazil is my country and the content in Portuguese would facilitate my understanding. Discovered that the &lt;a href="https://github.com/perifacode/conteudo-gratuito"&gt;Perifacode&lt;/a&gt; project has a repository that accepts tips from free technology courses, so I contributed by adding the SoloLearn website to the README.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another README that I contributed, was for one that lists the best tests of (Buzzfeed to relax us programmers)[&lt;a href="https://github.com/dandaramcsousa/grandes-testes-do-buzzfeed"&gt;https://github.com/dandaramcsousa/grandes-testes-do-buzzfeed&lt;/a&gt;]. Cool huh? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But... I didn't just want to mess with README. I wanted to contribute with codes. And recently, I started studying Python so I had the idea of ​​looking for repositories that would accept simple Python algorithms that did something interesting. 🐍&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I contributed to this repository (iagotito/hacktoberfest)[&lt;a href="https://github.com/iagotito/hacktoberfest"&gt;https://github.com/iagotito/hacktoberfest&lt;/a&gt;], sending an algorithm in Python that converts the temperature from Celcius to Fahrenheit. And for this repository (manish-virgat/Hacktoberfest-Python)[&lt;a href="https://github.com/manish-virgat/Hacktoberfest-Python"&gt;https://github.com/manish-virgat/Hacktoberfest-Python&lt;/a&gt;], sending an algorithm that returns if the letter typed is a vowel or consonant. Nice!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--cNODLde5--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_66%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/9kbrt10wgkaon71lplzf.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--cNODLde5--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_66%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/9kbrt10wgkaon71lplzf.gif" alt="cat"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's it. This was a brief description of my first participation in Hacktoberfest and now that I have learned, I will continue contributing to the community 💜&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Nevertheless, Julia Brazolim Coded</title>

  Equality in tech looks like…
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Equality in tech looks like... a utopia. But I see changes and initiatives that are turning into reality. Every day groups and women technological communities here in Brazil are creating movements, breaking barriers and taking knowledge to several women around the country. I did not see the importance of this until I felt how lonely the technological world is for women in a technology event for example.  I felt lonely. But today, I participate as a volunteer in two initiatives here in Brazil: the group Fatech Girls and the community Elas Programam. Both with the objective of bringing technology to girls and women. To help in the first job or to teach a programming language. I actively contribute with arts, texts and encouragement for women of all ages. I'm not alone anymore&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  I’m an expert at…
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Front-End. Actually I graduated in Technique in Informatics in 2016 and in the course I learned VB.Net, Java, MySQL, systems analysis, javaScript, HTML5, CSS, Android, Object Oriented Programming... A lot of things. But I feel like I'm kind of behind in JAVA, for example. Since then I work with Front-End focusing on Web Design which is my passion. And currently I'm studying Python! All this knowledge was necessary for me because today I am the creator and scientific disseminator of the Exoplanet Mission project, which aims to disseminate astronomy to society. So I created a desktop application with Electron with information about astrophysics. 💜💜💜&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  My advice for allies to support self-identifying women and non-binary folks who code is...
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don't judge. Just listen. Create opportunities. Be welcoming. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Criando coragem e publicando seus códigos- Parte I</title>
      <dc:creator>Julia Brazolim</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 04 Mar 2020 21:31:35 +0000</pubDate>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Sabe aquela primeira calculadora que criamos quando estamos aprendendo a programar? Esse é um método muito comum, que é utilizado didaticamente para te ensinar como uma linguagem pode funcionar, indo além do clássico Hello Word. É como um pequeno desafio para a criação de um pequeno programinha. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;É aí que você tem toda a liberdade para se inventar e colocar a mão na massa, usando toda a bagagem introdutória, explorar e criar a calculadora do seu jeitinho, seja usando só as quatro operações matemáticas ou adicionando frases para interagir com o usuário, aplicando estilos ou deixando ela super eficiente em seus resultados convertendo os valores. E agora que você aprendeu, criou, funcionou, ficou super legal, você vai deixar a calculadora mofando ali na pasta de exercícios? Afinal, você já aprendeu a fazer mesmo né?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Sem medo de se expor
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quando aprendemos a fazer alguma coisa, mesmo que pareça muito simples, foi um processo que envolveu nossa dedicação, força de vontade e mesmo com perrengues, no fim nos traz satisfação. Quando divulgamos o que fazemos, principalmente códigos, estamos mostrando o que sabemos tanto para aqueles que estão nesse processo de aprendizado, como para recrutadores que vão enxergar seu potencial. "Nossa, mas só publicando uma simples calculadora?". &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sim e não. Uma coisa que aprendi com dicas de amigas e amigos devs, é que quanto mais códigos (mesmo com errinhos) a gente publicar, mais a chance da comunidade te ajudar ou até descobrir novas soluções. Você vai estar criando conteúdos de tecnologia,ajudando e aprendendo. Isso não é incrível?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recentemente eu percebi que só publicava os códigos ou snippets de assuntos/linguagens que eu domino. Então usando o Codepen, publicava soluções frameworks, CSS ou JS.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;| &lt;em&gt;snippets: termo para se referir a blocos de código&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  O Codepen é perfeito pra isso
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;O Codepen é uma comunidade online e gratuita para publicar snippets e funciona também como editor de código e acredite, para quem é de front-end, esse lugar ajuda muito não só para demonstrar o que você sabe, como se testar e descobrir projetos incríveis. Você cria trechos de códigos (pens) e testa! Mas infelizmente, a plataforma se limita apenas a HTML, CSS e JavaScript (e seus consagrados).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Para usar a plataforma é simples: você cria uma conta (pode ser logando com o Twitter ou o GitHub) e pronto. Você pode pesquisar por "carousel", "buttons" ou "animations", por exemplo, que vários projetos vão abrir.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Escolhendo qualquer um, é possível abrir, ver como funciona, mexer no código (sem problemas com autoria, pois quando mexe no código não muda a original). Você pode também criar um projeto só seu clicando no seu perfil e indo em New Pen. Existem inúmeros recursos no CodePen como a possibilidade de criar posts, projetos, seguir Devs, etc. Tudo é questão de explorar o site para aprender.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mas e quanto as outras linguagens? Onde eu publico códigos em Java, PHP ou sei lá, em Ruby? Faz uns dois anos que eu tinha a vontade de aprender Python. Daí, entre o fim de 2019 pro começo de 2020, resolvi pegar firme. Quando chegou na parte de criar uma calculadora e eu finalmente consegui criar, quis mostrar o que aprendi. Foi aí que criei coragem e procurei aprender a usar Git.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aguardem o próximo post onde vou explicar direitinho como começar a usar o Git e o GitHub. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Até a próxima!&lt;/p&gt;
