Learning through the GSoC
Well, this was my first time participating in GSoC, and it has been fun working with OpenMRS.
I have worked with Java, Spring, and Angular during the project time, and got a lot of experience for the better programming and about the quality of the code.
Not forgetting the interactive community on Irc and talk that was always there for any blockers and help. My mentor Suthagar has been always there for helping with the issue Guidance for me throughout the GSoC’19, I would especially thank him.
It’s not all about code but the quality and maintainability of the code that matters...
Thanks for Org Admin @suthagar23, @irenyak1 for making this GSoC period go smooth, making things clear with guidance and being helpful.
Thank You OpenMRS.
