Did you know that most (~37%) of Software Developers contribute to vendor-owned open-source projects to learn to code better?
It's no surprise that contributing to open-source projects by organisations like Google, Microsoft, etc, gives you the experience of working on a real-life problem, which is solved using software.
You work with people worldwide who’re contributing to improving the project, you can get your contributed code reviewed, work on issues, and review other developers’ code and it all eventually helps you become a better software developer.
Read more about this and other exciting developer insights in our Latest Pulse Report.
Speaking of learning to code better, Technical Conferences are among my top favourite. You get to meet many like-minded people, attend talks, find mentors and much more.
There are a couple of exciting conferences around the corner. API days Hong Kong is on 30-31 Aug, and Developer Week Cloud is on 15-16 Aug. You can sign up using the respective hyperlinks.
This week we’re also running an exciting short new survey, check it out below to win some exciting prizes along with the rest of resource-packed newsletter.
As always- let's welcome 🔊 3,043 new members joining our community since the last send-out.
