About this Presentation
Contributing to open source is great for your career. In a few short hours, you can learn, teach, promote your skills, and improve the quality of the community. In this talk, we will show you how, by doing it.
We will take an existing application, and show you how to:
- download the source code
- build and run tests
- use rcov and code review to find some problem areas
- refactor some code
- create and submit a patch
Past “This Week in Refactoring” installments have contributed the following code to the community:
