Impact of social network over Youth
I’ve always been a community and collaboration admirer. at present i work as software developer and there are few tools and concepts that we use daily to facilitate collaborative development. To share this idea, and expecting participation of college students in group software development in future i am going to present a paper titled “Collaborative Software Development – how Nepali youths could do it?”.
i will be talking about using Open Source and free collaboration tools available online and how we can use them to make our day to day software development tasks easier
My Paper Abstract:
Title:
Collaborative Software Development,
how Nepali youths could do it ?
Estimated Time: 20 Minutes for presentation
Update: This paper was created collaborating with @bibekraj . we used Google Docs Presentation as collaboration tool.
Abstract:
Collaboration is working together on site or off site, in which two or more people work together convinced around a common goal.
In collaborative software development, a small sized team of developers or larger community of developers work together using specific source code control methods to facilitate the code sharing and combine working environment.
In foreign countries (US/UK) software development has flourished so much that they are leading the software development industry as a whole. The clue for this success is nothing more that community effort or to say collaborative contribution by a lot of developers who live in those countries. Whereas in Nepal, a youth gets introduced to collaborative development only after attempting few job interviews or looking through job vacancies. Knowledge of collaborative working is so essential that, the chances are odd you would be hired without its practical working knowledge. Further, knowledge of basic collaborative development tools will give each individual the opportunity to explore the whole Open Source World of software development.
The popular Open Source Software hosting platforms like, Google Code hosting, Github, SourceForge.Net are so rich in their user base (users who are developers or coders) and project base that any guy with few knowledge of writing "Hello World" codes in languages like C, C++, PHP, C#, Python, Ruby can get to see the actual code behind stable releases of larger Open Source projects. This gives a developer an opportunity to see how "the code" works in real world. How can she write better codes. What are best practices in software development. Obviously, if she can, she would contribute back to the project itself.
This paper, exploring the "7th National ICT Student & Youth Conference" – Youths on collaborative development theme will try to introduce basic collaboration concepts, tools and how can we use them to get into Collaborative Software Development on personal team or community based teams to the college students of Nepal.
About Me:
