Crio Winter of Doing (CWoD)

Hi! My name is Prakhar Shreyash, a Computer Science and Engineering Sophomore at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar. I am an open-source enthusiast and interested in seeking new opportunities. In this blog, I'm going to describe my Stage-1 journey of Crio-Winter of Doing.

What is Crio-Winter of Doing?
Crio-Winter of Doing is a one of a kind program focused on bringing together budding engineering talent to work on challenging projects for the most exciting startups in the country. It is India’s largest tech externship program for developers.

What is an externship?
An externship is a short, unpaid, and informal internship where students spend anywhere from a single day to a few weeks getting
exposure to what it is like to work at a company. The word externship is a hybrid of “experience” and “internship”.

What did I learn in stage-1?
Following are the topic which I learned practically in stage-1 of Crio-Winter of Doing.

HTTP :
HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol.
Communication between client computers and web servers is done by
sending HTTP Requests and receiving HTTP Responses.

Rest:
REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer.
An API is an application programming interface. It is a set of rules that allow programs to talk to each other. The developer creates the API on the server and allows the client to talk to it.

REST determines how the API looks like. It stands for “Representational State Transfer”. It is a set of rules that developers follow when they create their API.

Linux :
Linux is an operating system. An operating system is a software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put it simply, the operating system manages the communication between your software and your hardware.

Amazon Web Services :
Amazon Web Services or AWS is a secured cloud services platform that offers compute power, database storage, content delivery, and various other functionalities. To be more specific, it is a large bundle of cloud-based services.

Git :
Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes in any set of files, originally designed for coordinating work among programmers cooperating on source code during software development. Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.

Also, the best thing that I found interesting about Crio-Winter of Doing is that it supports a community on slack where all the members are very much active and they are always ready to help.
