Course + James Intro

This course is a methodical guide to get you involved in open source. The course is led by James Pearce, a former engineering director at Meta. While mastery might be a lifelong journey, we'll cover the basics to get started.

  • Gain insights from James's experience running one of the world's largest open source programs.
  • The course will focus on individual involvement in open source (not running a program).
  • Meta/Facebook has a strong open-source culture, using and creating software like React, Cassandra, and PyTorch. Here's the talk James gave at OSCON 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBbDAk5WYEo
  • James has built his own open-source project called tinybase, a data store for local-first apps. Watch this course so you can contribute!
