CodeTriage VS developer-roadmap

3. Open Source Contribution

I wrote a book with a chapter on how to write docs for other people’s code https://howtoopensource.dev

I also wrote an open source tool for writing and testing tutorials https://github.com/zombocom/rundoc and another that will email you undocumented methods of open source code so you can practice writing documentation https://www.codetriage.com/.

CodeTriage helps you contribute to open source by “picking a handful of open issues and delivering them directly to your inbox”. (Source: CodeTriage)

Here are open source projects listed https://www.codetriage.com/ You can filter for "C".

The biggest untaped potential (IMHO) is not one company funding 1 full time maintainer, but EVERY company allowing and encouraging EVERY developer to help and work with open source. This was the basis of my web app https://www.codetriage.com/. I have a chapter on it in my book How to Open Source (https://howtoopensource.dev/), and I talked to Yehuda about it for about an hour after my last talk at Philly ETE.

You can also use websites like up-for-grabs, goodfirstissue, or CodeTriage to find projects with open issues. Find one that looks easy or interesting to you and comment on it, asking if you can take a shot at it.

I recommend these resources to help you contribute https://www.codetriage.com/ (free) and https://howtoopensource.dev/ (paid). DM if you can’t afford a copy.

If you're starting your journey in web development, here is a roadmap to follow. Understand that Web development is not merely an extension of programming; it's a distinct field that requires a unique blend of coding and visual design skills. Embrace the importance of visual aesthetics from the get-go, and continuously work on improving your design sense. Trust me it will pay off in the long run, and you'll be able to create truly exceptional web experiences that not only function well but also look and feel amazing.

Github developer roadmaps (backend, frontend, cloud ...)

Roadmap.sh (https://roadmap.sh/)

Web Developer-Roadmap GitHub Link: developer-roadmap Crafted by kamranahmedse, this roadmap acts as a compass for developers navigating the vast landscape of technologies. Covering front-end, back-end, and DevOps, it aids developers in charting a learning path aligned with their goals.

It may also be beneficial to start with a high-level overview of what there is to learn in a given area, to understand the overall lay of the land - and then use ChatGPT to dig deeper into selected topics. There are many good resources that provide such an overview, like roadmap.sh or my "Definitive Guide to Succeeding as a Professional Dev".
