First Opensource contribution

Alt Text
Hey there,
This is girl Maan and I am a 3rd-year student pursuing computer engineering at Gujarat Technological University. My overall CGPA through all semester is 9.37.
I am a passionate coder. My area of interest is Web development, UX/UI designs, Salesforce Dev-Admin, Data Science till now. By the way, if you're reading the post you can ask for help if you need it in the above areas.

My Introto DEV

<!-- Are you brand new to open source? What about coding in general? -->Tell us about how you got here →
I think coding is the ability to express ourselves in the technical aspects to make understand the computer.
When I completed my Hacktober fest challenge I got to know about the DEV community only from there. I have joined this community because I wanted to expand my knowledge of technology as well as business aspects.

Progress

I have only heard about open source contribution and have never tried even once but Hacktoberfest helped me a lot to do this. I was completely new in these open source and one day a got to know about Hacktober fest through one of the youtube videos and I decided to overcome my open-source fear

Contributions

I am very thankful to the project maintainer who helped me very much to explore git and GitHub and finally my pull requests get verified by Hacktoberfest. I have learned a lot of new things here and It was very exciting.

Since I was new in the open-source world I had chosen simple repo in which we have to add different solutions of different languages of data structure and algorithm but code should include maximum function as possible.

Reflections

Of course, I will participate again in Hacktoberfest 2021. I have learned many things like how to collaborate with the team in open source and many more. My next step in open source is GSoC.
