Hiya! Yay, glad you like it! Sorry I missed responding to this; I saw it, and then there was a code fire, and then it got lost in the cave that is my inbox! 😓Hopefully it's not too late!
By the way, Eloquent JavaScript is the best! It's my favourite intro book to anything ever, so 👍 to that.
Here's a bunch of sites I can think about that might help with finding a project:
help-wanted
and beginner
tags are the winners and indicate good first bugs. Documentation bugs are also potentially easy things to work on on too (and I guarantee the project maintainers will be eternally grateful for these PRs 🍰) If you just want to practice and have fun programming, then
Hopefully one of these will work out for you! Let me know if they don't, I can try to think of more!
Something that has worked form me is the Changelog Nightly newsletter. It is basically a list with the latest popular repo in Github. Many of these repo still have not reached the stardom and most require help. Usually you can find very interesting things in that letter.
Happy coding!
Thank You!!!!
Oh hey! I don't remember how I cam across your github account, but IT HAS SOME FUN STUFF. So I'm taking an class at a local community college that requires us to contribute to an open source project. I'm very beginner when it comes to code. I know some JavaScript, made it a few chapters into Eloquent JavaScript and I know some C++( I am taking a C++ Data Structures and Algorithms class) so that's where I'm at. Do you have any advice for finding open source projects that a beginner can comprehend and possible contribute to? Thanks!
