Hi everyone, I am Alangi Derick and a Web developer. Mostly, i work with the following technologies; PHP, HTML/HTML 5, Javascript, jQuery etc. I am also very good at using Git VCS and also at time SVN.
I am a senior student in the University of Buea, Cameroon and i am currently interning at a software development company. I am working on a project which i use Laravel 4.2 for developement and MySQL DBMS.
I want to take my skills to a next level by contributing to an open source organisation and to a platform where my codes will be used by the whole world to make it a better place. I found WikiMedia to be that which fits my skills and i am very happy i got one. I will like to develop for this organisation all the time and make WikiMedia a better one. I will like the members of the development community to offer me as much help as possible so that in little or no time, i will fix bugs, add features, and more.. to Wikimedia. Thanks
Regards Alangi Derick Ndimnain

It looks like you are equipped with all the basics required to become a great contributor. We recommend new developers to find a first small task, an easy bug:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs
From that point it will become easier to find newer and bigger challenges,
thank to the experience acquired and to the community members you will find in your path. See also:
