► Get the Python skills you need to contribute to the open-source community and build your portfolio

In this video we'll discuss how you can break into open-source as a new Python developer. I got this question from a dbader.org reader and I'm replying to it in this video:

~~

"How do I start to contribute to an open-source project as a relatively new Python developer?

I want to build up a portfolio of projects I have worked on and contributed to, and not just a portfolio of my own contrived projects. I'm thinking that evidence shown on GitHub or similar could be useful to a relatively new Python programmer like myself in order to demonstrate credibility."

~~

Contributing to open source projects is a great way to build your programming skills, take part in the community, and to make a real impact with your code. It'll also help you get a job as Python developer.
