Thanks for your reply,Chris! I am not new to programming, previously i just finished my CS degree and i am the type of student who family with theory、Algorithm and Data-Structure but lacking of project experience, In another words: I used to build some functions, single component/class/file,but have little to zero idea about how to put them together when start a new project from scratch. This is why i need to keep looking on the project i "built" along with these tutorials or some open source projects. By looking at them,i could figure out what kind of components and functions consist of a system.
My concern was: Should i build everything on my own from scratch, without "mocking" or "borrowing" these existing code. you answered my question well, thanks a lot! :-)
