Re: Query regrading the preparation for GSoc

[SAMPAD SAHA]

Hi Imran,

Competitive coding and Software Development are two different things. But don't worry even if you are new you can learn things easily. 

First of all i would suggest you to go through these following links:

• Introduction to Contributing
• Development workflow

Once you are done with these then you can look into :

• Easy to fix Bugs (This way you can get better understanding of the Sympy codebase)

Once you are okay with the development workflow and sympy codebase, you can start looking into projects and choose among them:

• Project lists

And level of skills required would vary from projects to projects. So, once you find a project that interests you, you can start working on the skills required.

You can ask any doubt at gitter or maling list.

I was looking at GSoc 2016 Organization(s).

I found SymPy matching my skills C++,Python

Then, I looked at the recent projects and found yours

Also,

read your blog.

But i am still a bit confuse and vulnerable regrading the Gsoc

cause, for now i can only solve the specific problem(s) like on codechef and hacker Earth

Submitting the bug patches and all that are new to me.

and also not sure about the "Level of the skills required"

i.e.C++ ,Python

i request you to guide me

how you prepared.

what were your skills before GSoc
