Coding Contest Software

We at PyJaipur are building our first product. If you want to host a coding contest in your college or perhaps in your office (maybe even within your family!) this is the product you will need.

A program to host a programming contest on your laptop. The sole purpose of this project is to maximize learning while you develop it. Come and join in the development!

Timeline

The project was officially announced in the Telegram Group on the 9th of January 2019. It is an ongoing project and so you can jump in any time!

  • Presence on Telegram Group (install telegram first if error or join from desktop )
  • Fill this form with SOP(statement of purpose)
  • Dedication

Benefits

  • Mentorship
  • Open Source Project
  • Learn By Doing
  • No COST
  • Certificates
  • Possible Internship Opportunities.

Why are we using certain libraries/techniques

The goal of this project is to learn, we will use libraries which force you to learn certain concepts. In all cases, we try to use minimal libraries which don't have a lot of extra things in them instead of big ones to make the learning elements small and clear.

We mention overall goals and intentions in the Projects section of this repository. Each issue is assigned to a project. If you are joining this project midway, you can refer to the projects to see what has happened in the past and the intentions and motivations of earlier code.

Learning Goals

  1. How to change your code as a project's needs grow
  2. How to collaborate in an open source project
  3. From simple to advanced Python programming

How to Participate

Participation in this project has two paths. You can write code, and you can review other people's merge requests.

To write code:

  1. Read the issues in this project (Issues in the good-first-issue label are a good starting point).
  2. If you want to work on an issue mention in the issue discussion that you want to work on it. You can collaborate with multiple people on a single issue. Make good use of github's fork and merge mechanism.
  3. As soon as you have code which attempts to solve an issue, submit a merge request to the project's master branch so that others can look at it and learn from it.
  4. Improve your code as per feedback until the merge request is accepted.
  5. Party 🎉

To review:

  1. Pick up a merge request on the project.
  2. Go through the code.
  3. If something is not clear, ask for clarification. If someone has already asked just thumbs up that comment.
  4. Add an approving comment saying "Good work!". If someone has already commented thumbs up on that.
