- To have a culture of open source participation, through hands on projects.
- More projects -> more collaboration -> win for all!
- Create an active development & research culture within our students
- Inspiration? Most IIT's and top colleges have their own dev band / groups. See this
- Active open source collaboration. Trust me, you will learn a TON if you just keep on contributing , hacking, and building OSS products on Github
- Lack of information. The thing that differentiates top colleges and us is solely that we lack right information at the right time. Lets start a community to bridge that down!
- Build a better portfolio, get hired / start own startups!
- Join our Slack Group : https://iem-devs.slack.com
- To get an auto-invite, submit your email on https://iem-devs-slack.herokuapp.com/
- Be active in the Slack group, lots of ideas, projects, tips, trivia will be shared there.
- The group is divided into lot of #channels, join whichever you want. Channels serve as a purpose of relevant discussions
- Create a Github account, its a MUST!
- We have this github organisation through which we will create projects
- We will not explicitly teach you about any language or framework, that part you have to figure out on yourself. Believe me, thats quite easy.
- We will roll out new project plans here, which we will try to implement as much as we can.
- Technology should not be a bar. Take up a flavour, hack on it, and if you find it cool, stick with it
- Mostly we will focus on the chief areas : Android, JS/Web/NodeJS, Python, Data Science & Machine Learning, but that is not exhaustive.
- Anyone can join, as long as they were / are students of IEM. No class distinction, No Department Distinction, interact freely with anyone.
- Follow Hacker News religiously. The best source of tech information, and top devs lurk there.
- Follow Github Trends, you will find awesome repositories to follow, fork & contribute
- Be thoroughly conversant with git
- Reduce FB usage, use Reddit instead. Tons of useful subreddits in Reddit
- Interaction channel with the Alumni Network. We will try to onboard as much as Alumnis possible, both in Industry and Academia
- AMA - Ask Me Anything with Alumni's, Developers and Researchers! Check this space for more info.
- Weekly meetups of the group and discussions related to tech and stuff
- Online Meetups started on 14th March, 2016.
- Online Meetup to be held every Sunday, 9 PM IST.
- Online Meetup MOM Archives
- Open an issue!
- This is not affiliated with the college, its purely a student only participation, backed by Alumni Network
