Course/Module description:
We are currently in the age of open source. Led by software-developers' communities, Open source is simply how we write software today. Everyone can use it freely, and thus take a role in shaping the future of technology.
For software developers, there is more to it – it’s the path to success; being part of the community allows for junior programmers to work together with the best developers in the field, for whom this is an opportunity to learn new things.
For academic research students, being able to publish the work as an open-source could boost the development and improve its quality, and this may contribute significantly to achieve the targets of the research successfully.
This course is an introduction to the world of openness, and an entry ticket for today's challenging employment requirements.
