About Me
Hi! My name is Jerus Allen and I'm currently studying Computer Programming and Analysis (CPA) at Seneca College. I'm currently in my fifth semester of the CPA program and this blog will contain my steps and struggles in my journey of becoming a more proficient developer by contributing to various Open Source Projects and working with people from the community.
So, Why Become Part of the Open Source Community?
To be honest, I didn't have any expectations or idea of what Open Source Development is. However, after the first introduction lecture and learning that this course is structured to give the students as much freedom as possible really interested me. Being able to work together with many people with each person having different levels of expertise and being able to help and give feedback to each other's work is something I value a lot and want to be a part of.
My Goals with Open Source Development
To keep it short, I just want to experience as many coding niches/languages as I can to broaden my perspective as a developer and discover what I really want to pursue and specialize in after my studies at Seneca. This will also give me real-world practical experience and feedback from people who have been programming for a long time and are a part of the Open Source Community which will (hopefully) help my skills and understanding of programming and help me break into the Tech Workplace.
A GitHub Trending Repo That Caught My Interest
In my journey of trying to expand to different programming niches/languages and my love for listening to music as I do whatever task I'm currently doing, I discovered a trending repository called: Spotube which is an Open Source, Cross-Platform Client for both Spotify and YouTube that removes the need to subscribe to Spotify/YouTube Premium to listen to music without the interruption of ads and allows for downloading music for offline listening.
