We are thrilled to have you join us! This guide is your starting point for becoming a contributor and learner with the MasterFabric Academy, our non-profit, open-source educational initiative.
The MasterFabric Academy is dedicated to providing open and accessible software development training to a global community. Our goal is to empower aspiring developers with practical, hands-on experience by building and contributing to open-source projects. As a trainee, you help us build a library of educational materials while simultaneously building your own skills.
By following our learning paths, you will gain:
- Track Proficiency: Strong competency in a chosen field like Full-Stack Web, Backend, Mobile, or AI Development.
- Architectural Mastery: An understanding of Clean Code, Design Patterns, and professional application architecture.
- Quality Assurance: The ability to write comprehensive tests (Unit, Component, E2E).
- Professional Workflow: Experience with version control (Git), API design, and other professional practices.
The program is designed to be self-paced. You will follow a series of daily guides to build your knowledge step-by-step.
- Choose Your Path: Start by looking at the Learning Paths to decide which technology track you want to pursue.
- Navigate to Your Track: Go to the corresponding directory inside the
/days/folder (e.g.,/days/nextjs/,/days/oop/, or/days/sdlc/). - Start with Day 1: Open the
1.mdfile. Read the tasks, explanations, and new vocabulary for the day. - Complete the Exercises: The daily guides contain tasks and prompts. While this repository is documentation-focused, we encourage you to perform these tasks locally on your own machine. For example, if a task is "Create a new Next.js project," you should run the commands and build the project on your computer.
- Track Your Progress: We recommend you maintain your own public fork of this repository. As you complete the daily exercises, commit your notes or related code to your fork. This creates a public record of your progress and learning.
To begin your journey, please follow these steps:
- ✅ Review the Contribution Guide: Learn how to contribute effectively by reading our Contribution Guide.
- ✅ Choose Your First Learning Path: Head over to the Learning Paths and pick a track that excites you!
This is a community-driven project. While we don't offer one-on-one mentorship for the trainee program, you can interact with the community in the following ways:
- GitHub Issues: If you find an error in the documentation, have a suggestion, or want to discuss a topic, please open an issue in the repository.
- Pull Requests: If you want to fix a typo or improve a guide, please feel free to submit a pull request!
Thank you for being a part of the MasterFabric Academy. Happy coding!
