Week 1 Reflection

I will be writing a weekly reflection for my software development capstone in order to discuss what i have learned that week as well as my current progress and thoughts regarding the ongoing capstone project.

This is the first post in a series now that the first week of the semester is over. Although we did not do a great deal in the first week i have actually learned quite a bit. We have gone over the SCRUM development process as well as begun to implement it on a hands on project. This was an interesting experience because i have not done anything quite like this before. We have assembled teams of six people to work on parts of an open source project. Going forward it should be an interesting and unique learning experience.

I have also never contributed to an open source project before so i am very excited to begin learning about the project and open source as a whole. Working in actual development teams and submitting our code for professionals to review should be interesting. Hopefully we are able to get some of our code actually implemented into the project but who knows. The project we will be working on is called OpenMRS, and specifically a portion of that project known as AMPATH, which is located in Kenya.
