   Hi Default
   I would love to contribute to an Open Source c# project. I’m learning c# on and off at the moment but would be nice to work with others as well.
   Hope to hear from you.
   Cheers
   Matt

     Hi there Matt!

     Learning a new programming language can be a bit daunting, I remember feeling like I won’t be able to do much until I know everything. It turns out I’ll probably never be able to know everything there is to know about C#, but I can still try :)

     Depending on your current skill/experience level I would recommend http://codeplex.com or http://sourceforge.net as a good starting point when looking for open source projects to join.

     Often when reading programming books I find myself placing more importance on finishing a book as opposed to doing a thorough study of the book’s content. To ensure proper learning I’ve lately gotten into the habit of posting articles on my blog as I discover something new. When writing an article I develop sample code, do research and thus become better acquainted with the relevant topic.

     Code samples might not be fully functioning and complete applications but I consider them to still be classified as open source. Posting articles and code samples also serves as a method improving your reputation within the programming community and illustrates being knowledgeable in the topics your articles relate to.

     Greetings,
     Dewald

       Thanks Dewald. I’m just applying to join a few projects at codeplex.com to see what happens. I might start my own project though and open it up to all Developers – that would be so cool!!! Do you find that there are ever arguments if someone says that their code is not good enough or arguments of who should write which parts?

       Thanks so much for help me – you’ve been priceless

       cheers Matt

       I’m trying to add a Project into codeplex.com.

       Its asking me to Add your project license. Could you please tell me when I can get this from and will it cost me anything.

       So far I’ve called the project :- http://csharphobbyprojects.codeplex.com/

       I’d love it if you could join as well to help guide me through the ropes.

       Kind Regards Matt

       Hi Matt,

       The project license refers to the license under which you grant users the right to use/change/distribute your software and/or source code. You can read up on it here http://opensource.org/licenses

       I prefer the Microsoft Public License: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/openness/licenses.aspx

       What is your user/profile name at codeplex.com?

       Thanks,
       Dewald :)

       Hi

       My username is jmatty2000

       I’ve randomly picked the Microsoft public licence now. Not sure how to be in a comfortable position to upload source code though if you could advise – do I need Tortoise SVN which it seems to recommend.

       I don’t have a project at the moment – do you think I should just create a blank one and up load the folder as a starting point?

       Cheers Matt

   Which software do I use to submit some project files?
