First steps and resources

⚠️ This page is a Work In Progress ⚠️

Why contributing?

The website really is a project of meaning and is seen as an important one to the club.
According to us, it allows the members of the club and the developers of the project to gain experience in a domain we usually don't know much about and shows a lot of new technologies. It allows you to gain a lot of general knowledge!

For instance, web frameworks, networking and the internet, safety and security, docker and its containers, Linux, dev pipelines and CI/CD, even things as common as git and GitHub.

And you can of course choose what you'd like to work on!!
