Weekly Dev Journal - Episode # 16

Hello,

Welcome to the 16th Episode of Weekly Dev Journal. Here you will get some useful resources, interesting articles, and my learnings in the programming world.

Learnings:

Coding:

I didn't code that much this week. The count was less than 10 Hours.

Reason? Wanting to sleep and don't want to work and many other reasons.

I did solve 4 LeetCode Problems as I am coming back to the track of Competitive Programming.

Anyways,

Learning DSA was one of my goals in 2nd semester and yesterday I had some time so I started learning it. I opened YouTube to watch some lectures, Opened Code With Harry YouTube channel, watch his video on Linked List for some time, close it, open Apna College, watch the video, and then close it. I was bored of watching a YouTube video, practice it along the way.

Then, I opened the GeekForGeeks website and read the article there and try to implement it in C++.

Missed GSSoC Deadline:

GirlScript Summer of Code (GSSoC) is a 3-month online program where you participate in open-source projects, improve them by adding features or in any other way and add it to your resume.

According to my knowledge (correct me if I am wrong), Each participant is assigned a mentor that guides him/her on a project that the participant is working on and the participant adds some value to the open-source project by adding any feature to it or doing tasks assigned by the mentor.

By doing this, participants will get open-source knowledge of how the open-source world works. And You are adding some value to the project, it will build your GitHub profile also.

I was unable to apply for it as I was busy with my other work. I should have applied for it if but I didn't receive any message from the groups that I joined till the deadline.

What I have learned? Apply for any program if you want as soon as possible in early time rather than waiting for the last date.

I am adding all this as This is my complete journey of achieving all my DREAMS and someday achieving all my dreams (In Sha ALLAH), when I re-read these articles, and PROUD of myself. I will have a timeline of my journey.

Arbisoft Office Tour:

Recently, I got a chance to visit Arbisoft (A Software House) Office where I saw working in a software house and many other exciting things.

I am writing an article on it and it's in the draft. Once I completed it, I will put the link here.
