KWOC | Kharagpur Winter Of Code
About
KWOC — Kharagpur Winter of Code is a 5-week long online program organised by KOSS for the students of various colleges, especially for students of IIT Kharagpur, who are new to open source software development. Open Source Development is something that builds on the practical knowledge to build and try out codes which are used practically. Trying to customise and build features out of nowhere, is something that always fascinates me.
KWOC-Website:
They have a friendly website where you get your personal dashboard, list of all the projects , instruction , guidelines etc .

You can learn a lot of other skills by going through the code. For connecting to the mentors, there are channels on which you can collaborate with other members and mentors.
Projects on which I worked
- C_made_easy : https://github.com/enzaimz/c_made_easy
This app is a complete free handbook for learning Basics of C Programming language which covers important topics, notes & programs on the course. Download the App as a reference material for Computer Science, Software Engineering programs & Degree courses. C language is a powerful general-purpose programming language. If you are new to programming then C language is the best language to start your programming journey. In practical, C programming language is used in Embedded Systems, Systems Programming, Graphic Packages.
- hashcode_app : https://github.com/inaxia/hashcode_app
We got the inspiration of this idea with the help of our fellow friends who wanted to have good knowledge as well as relevant skills in different Programming languages and frameworks. They wanted a single platform to access the best resources available in the internet, so we came up with an idea to build this platform. Hash Code is a web and app based platform where the we provide the best-handpicked courses from the internet at one place of different branches. Students who will use the platform can view various courses and test their knowledge.

Pull request 2 :
I contributed to #c_made_easy. In this issue, I added the dark and light feature of the app. So I added a switch in the drawer by which the app works on both dark and light mode.

More :
This program provides students a place to begin or advance in their open source through collaborating, networking and growing. I learned a lot from this open source journey. You can explore more in open source programs like google summer of code(GSOC), girl script summer of code(GSSOC), Rails summer of code(RSOC), Winter of Code(WOC) etc.
