Discover Open Source

Contributing to open-source projects is one of the best ways to evolve your skills as a programmer. Especially if you have been learning and never worked on a real-life project. It can also help you persuade clients to hire you as a Freelancer or get a job faster. But finding projects that you can contribute to is harder than you may think. In this course, you'll learn to discover projects that use programming languages and libraries you can work with.
