I am grateful to announce I begin the Final Career Project Today, 2th Jun 2008. I've gone to meet my project's Teacher, Marc Alier, for agree the last things, offer to me the way I want to follow for my project, and getting an idea about what I must do in this project.
I chose to be a Moodle developer. He also offered me to participate in mobile phone projects. Moodle is a great e-learning and free software project. The whole free software world is really interesting. An opportunity like this is hardly ever offered to all people.
Maybe the first part of the project is the easiest. I have the whole month of Jun to learn some required acknowledge:
- I have to look in the Moodle wiki and learn how I can develop a module for Moodle and integrate it to the moodle platform (I have done that before in a PHP-Nuke, I hope it will not be harder...)
- Having a blog to use it as a logbook to write my experiences and changes. I will use this blog for that task.
- Installing Firebug, a Mozilla Firefox extension used for debugging web.
- Managing Subversion (when I did ADA in the university, Analysis and Design of Algorithms, I learned to use it).
- And the most huge part, learning the development web languages: PHP, HTML, Javascript, CSS, XHTML and XML. For a programmer like me, it would not be a really difficult task, but it requires some time, especially learning and understanding their syntax.
Jordi Piguillem, and official Moodle developer, will be "my master".
I will begin soon to learn all this tasks. I have installed Firebug and next step will be reading the moodle Wiki (I have moodle installed in my machine as localhost).
Ohhh, I also asked for making the whole project (memory and documentation in English). I can :D, a great opportunity to learn a lot.
It promises to be a really exciting project. Let's see it!
