What I learned so far!
In January I joined the ranks of Lambdalorians, and started the Full Stack Web Development Track at Lambda School. Best decision I have made in some time. For a Part Time student like myself the school takes over 1 year to go through 4 intense Units of Web Development, 2 Units of Computer Science, and then a few Units of Career and other team building projects. As of this post I am about halfway through the Computer Science portion.
Man have I learned a lot. Front End, Back End, and now Python. But thats not all this school teaches. Nope. At the end of July I also gained the title of Team Lead (TL). A unique position in the school where I get to go back through the core units but not as a student, or not just as a student, but as a Mentor to 6-10 students.
It was through fellow TL's that I learned about Hacktoberfest. Where I quickly decided that this was something I not only wanted to participate in as a Web Developer but as a maintainer. Well those same TL's wanted to gather some good projects for Dev's of all levels and present them to fellow students to help them delve into the world of Open source. So having 2 big projects that I have been working on in my github organization BeeDev Services I offered up the 4 repositories. 2 Front End React apps and their corresponding Backends.
But just passing on those links wasn't enough I soon learned. I also needed to have a solid README.md file. Having seen tons of these files from repositories that the school has us work in I did know that mine had to be good.
Hopefully I did a good job. Here is a list of the ones that I added and welcome extra help on.
Front End = https://github.com/beedev-services/new-help-guide
Back End = https://github.com/beedev-services/help-guide-database-api
Front End = https://github.com/beedev-services/web-dev-journey
Back End = https://github.com/beedev-services/blog-api
I can't wait to see what others can contribute to these and what else I can contribute to others.
