Have you considered contributing to an open source project that interests you? An active project would provide you with an existing architecture, community, history... possibly even a mentor. (people in college can even apply for "google summer of code" for a formalized and paying approach)
- GFischer 15y agoAiming for any real-world project sounds like good advice. Either look for something that interests you or where you think you can learn from :) An internship could be an opportunity too.
- p4lto 15y agoI've heard of the Summer of Code but didn't look into it, I shall. I'm just now getting the basics of github down, adding whatever random code I have around etc.. Also, getting involved in an open source project has crossed my mind but I never did anything about it. Think I'll look for a relatively small program to get involved with, nothing like django or rails at least for now.
