Release 0.4 - Winforms and Telescope part 2

Winforms

So last time I talked about my first contribution to Winforms writing unit tests for a few classes, continuing working on the issue I've picked, and that ended up evolving a bit.

What happened with the PR?

Some fixes were requested by the Winforms team, which were made by me but things got rather complex when I found out that the testing framework was unable to access some classes and methods required to test the classes to which I was writing the unit tests.

After facing the problem mentioned above with access to classes within the Winforms project I made an extensive research about the frameworks and asked the expert team for help on how to proceed with it, and thankfully the team was super supportive and gave me a lot of information on how to go around this problem.

After receiving this information I look forward to fix my tests and submit an updated PR to the project and keep working on the issue!

My PR for R0.4

For my release 0.4 I wrote unit tests for another class, rather smaller than the first one since I am still working on it.

I have also received a review and request to make changes to it, way simpler than the changes needed for the first PR, I am already working on them and I hope to get it up and merged soon.

Telescope

My contribution to Telescope this time is rather simple. After creating the logo on the last release I noticed that the link still pointed to my repository, so I have fixed the reference to CDOT's Telescope repository.

This PR was quickly approved and merged since it only touched the repo's Readme.md

Entity Framework Core - Open Source

Having worked with .NET and Entity Framework before, it came to my interest that newest versions of .NET Core and Entity Framework are open-sourced projects. Entity Framework is a powerful tool used on modern patterns on the cloud, especially on Azure. Entity Framework is entirely developed in C# and it allows your software to easily work with database data models on your code. It "abstracts" most of the code that would normally be required for data acessing and manipulation. I find this project interesting because it is used on many enterprise companies and projects, including the company I worked my Co-op on, so I am very excited to be able to potentially collaborate with it and help improve Entity Framework, since it honestly made my life and the lives of my teammates easier.

Hacktoberfest #4 - OpenDrinks

Image
Background So last time out I was trying to figure out what is going wrong with my .NET development environment in my machine but with no success, although I tried to contact some of the maintainers for further information I had no response so far so I had to search for an alternative and this one in particular caught my eye, it is called OpenDrinks. OpenDrinks OpenDrinks is an open source website collection with many drink recipes written with the Javascript framework Vue. I found the opportunity to collaborate with it interesting, although my contribution was not large, since I have little knowledge about Vue but quite some experience with Javascript, so it will be great to learn a new framework for my portfolio. The website is fairly simple in the sense that is easy to find drink recipes and the design is minimalistic, although the maintainers are looking to improve on it, soI plan on collaborating further during this course like adding PWA or fixing design flaws. Enjoyin...

Hacktoberfest #2 - UWP App Launcher

Image
For my second pull request I worked on a Windows application which I found very interesting since I could relate to the problem that it tries to solve. UWP App Launcher This app launcher is an alternative to the live tiles that Microsoft brought with the early versions of Windows 8 back in 2012 and still ships with its Windows products. Although enhanced nowadays, the live tiles are still the reason of headaches for some people who dislike them, plus, there is no alternative to this layout so users are made "hostages" of the system as it is. From the UWP App Launcher's creators: "The whole point of this project is to provide the best traditional home screen experience as possible for Windows 10 devices. Some people don't like Live Tiles so this is an alternative for them. Also, apps load faster when opened with this launcher." Below you can see the comparison between the App Launcher (left) and Windows Phone's native home screen (right): ...
