Re: Interested candidate to contribute in Mutability Detector.

[Graham Allan]

Hi Deepak,

Great news! Improving your development skills is an excellent reason to get involved. I hope I can help.

I think it's useful to set SMART* goals, so to get started I think we should create one. How about, by this time next week, you aim to have submitted your first pull request on GitHub?

This would involve:
- signing up to GitHub if you don't have an account
- forking the Mutability Detector repository
- cloning your fork to the machine you plan to develop on
- ensuring that you can build the project using Maven
- setting up your preferred development environment
- making a trivial code change: rename a variable; fix some whitespace, something like that
- commit to your repository
- log in to GitHub and issue a Pull Request

Now that I've written it down, it seems like a lot. How long it will take will more depend on how familiar you are with GitHub/git/Maven than Java. Of course, I'll be here on the mailing list to help with any questions you have.

How does that sound? Too much? Too little?

Cheers!
Graham

Dear Graham,

I'm Deepak and interested in joining your project. In past, I was working with Investment bank as Java developer.
I took career break for few months and currently looking for right opportunity.

I consider myself an average Java programer and currently looking for opportunity to improve my skills set score card. I'm hopeful this project would be a stepping stone in that direction.

I am keen to join your project and looking forward for your positive response.

Thanks and Regards
Deepak Rana
