Devember is all about self-improvement, dedication and challenging yourself. While Devember is a self-imposed challenge, the forum members and organizers have your back. We’re all here to help each other. As iron sharpens iron, so can we sharpen our own skills when we collaborate.
Suggestions
To be frank, it’s unrealistic to code for a solid hour straight if you do not have a plan. That is why I suggest everyone either does the agile method of development or spend the first few days formulating a plan and then spend the rest of that time executing that plan.
From past years’ challenges, we have learned a lot. One thing I’ll share is that people live busy lives and may not be able to fully commit. We totally understand that life can get in the way of things, however, we don’t want that to discourage you. Any effort, no matter how small, towards a goal is net positive progress.
Rules
If you would like to sign up for Devember, simply make a thread with the tag devember2023 in either blog or Code .
Next reply here with a link to that post. Tell us a bit about you and your idea or project. Optionally, you can also link your git repo or test site if you’d like to.
If you just signed up, we might need to bump your ability to create new posts in the appropriate categories. If that’s an issue for you, shoot a reply here and ping either myself or Wendell. We’ll get you sorted out.
In your reply, you should include some sort of statement about your objective during Devember; for example:
My devember project is to learn Rust by building a REST API for a source tracking website.
PLEASE remember to tag your project devember2023
Ideas
If you’re in need of ideas, feel free to ask. I’m sure there are a few folks out there who would be open to collaborating on projects as well.
If all else fails, you could always participate in the Advent of Code.
Perks
Upon completion of the Devember challenge, you get the Devember badge! (do we also want to do prizes?)
