Intro
Hello all!
I will be using this blog as a way to record and share my work with the rest of you. Since we are just getting started, this is kind of an extension of my first introduction.
What new skills will I need for this project?
- get familiar with unit testing
- learn how to use drupal
My strengths?
- I have done web programming(PHP, JS, SQL) for nearly 4 years
- I worked w/ Openlayers over the summer
- I have taken multiple courses dealing w/ Geographic information
Potential weaknesses?
- I need to learn the ins/outs of submitting code and patches to a community of developers ( what does it mean for an issue to be crossed out? What are the color codes? )
Contribution to my career?
- First formal experience in testing
- I would like a career that makes use of open source software
- I plan to apply for graduate school in the next couple years, and this will help direct my interests
What about this project interests me?
- The amount of working parts and the geographic nature of the project both interest me
I have been looking further into the Drupal documentation right now. More updates later.
