Greeting people on the World Wide Web!

My name is Khang Nguyen but you can also call me Vito. I am currently a Software Development student at Seneca College (in Toronto, Canada).

This blog will be recording my discovery into Open Source Software Development, a topic in which I am a beginner.

I hope you enjoy my writing!

My Lightweight Noteboard 1.0

This week, I have been making a small open source project which I call"My Lightweight Noteboard". Reference to the app: Source Code | Github-hosted Page What can the app do? "My Lightweight Noteboard" is a fairly simple web application allowing you to put sticky notes overlayed on its website. The reason  I call it "lightweight" is that the notes are locally stored in a virtual file system in the browser. This is achieved through the use of the Filer.js library. The app's user interface with 3 notes added The app was created by plain JavaScript, HTML and CSS with the help of jQuery UI and Bootstrap 4 libraries. With these old-schooled technologies, the app facilitates a range of features including: Adding an unlimited number of notes Leaving note overlayed at any position on the "noteboard" area. Save note contents with a colour indicator of saved status Removing unused notes A few potential features I am having in

I used to think that my Vietnamese language capability would never serve me in the field of Software Development. To be fair, at least not while I am studying at an English-speaking country and not when most programming documentations are done in English (even programming languages' keywords are in English). I could not be more wrong! Two weeks ago, I blogged about my effort to open a new translation for GatsbyJS documentation to Vietnamese  which I have been really excited about. Since then, the translation repository has been moving forward with some first translations published: [Merged] Contribution Guideline - from me [Merged] Community Code of Conduct - from a contributor [Merged] Tutorial Index - from a contributor who is also a classmate [Reviewing] Tutorial, Set up Development Environment - from me [In Progress] Tutorial, Get to Know Gatsby Building Blocks - from the same classmate above  To accomplish those first translat

I have been imagining that I am going to have a good blog post for the following satisfactory and unforeseen story. Initial Failure Since last week, I have been very tempted to level-up my game with the contributions I have been making to open source. I planned  to work on a project of Microsoft which turned out to be a spectacular failure for me mainly because  a)  I cannot grasp enough the complexity of the codebase to accomplish a good-enough contribution for my goal and  b)  many smaller issues were CSS modification when I was more interested in making contributions to functionality. However, that fact changed just the next day... How Gatsby and I crossed each other's path The following day, as my friends and I are staying after class, as usual, by chance, we had a conversation about how we are catching up with the heavy load of the semester and our open source contribution goal. A good friend of mine  suddenly reminded me of a conversation we had before (when my interes
