My Journey into Hacktoberfest'23
Hey there, fellow developers đ! I'm excited to be a part of the DEV community and to participate in Hacktoberfest this year. While I'm not entirely new to coding, this is my first time joining the Hacktoberfest event, and I can't wait to get started. My motivation đĄ to participate in this open-source celebration comes from a desire to learn, connect with the community, and give back to the projects that have helped me in my coding journey.
From Coding Curiosity to Hacktoberfest
My journey đ± into the world of programming began a few years ago when I was introduced to the fascinating world of software development. I started by learning the basics of HTML, and Object Oriented Programming, and from there, my curiosity grew. I delved into JavaScript, C#, Java, and various other programming languages. Along the way, I discovered the vast ecosystem of open-source software and how it played a pivotal role in shaping the tech world.
While I have been coding for a while, I'm relatively new to Hacktoberfest. In previous years, I observed the event from the sidelines, but this year, I felt a strong urge to jump in and be a part of it. I've always admired the collaborative spirit of open source and wanted to be an active contributor đ».
Coding, Collaborating & Contributing
My goals đŻ for Hacktoberfest 2023 are twofold. First, I aim to improve my coding skills and gain more hands-on experience with open-source projects. I believe that working on real-world projects and collaborating with experienced developers will be a fantastic learning experience.
Second, I'm open to assisting project maintainers with their open-source projects đ€. Whether it's fixing bugs, adding new features, or improving documentation, I'm here to contribute and make a positive impact on the projects I work on. This is an opportunity to give back to the community that has been so generous with its resources and knowledge.
I'm particularly interested in projects related to web development, JavaScript, and C#, but I'm also open to exploring new technologies and languages during this journey.
Overall, this is an exciting opportunity for me to learn, grow, and make a valuable contribution to the open-source community. I can't wait to collaborate with fellow developers, learn from their expertise, and give my best to the projects I work on. Here's to a month of coding, learning, and making the open-source world better!
