Research Study: MuseScore

As part of the learning curve of Open Source Development, it is good to browse and study further existing projects for inspiration, information, ideas and more. After some research on my part, I have found an Open Source project which interests me and I will share it with you using this post.

 MuseScore

 The name of the project is as shown in the post title; MuseScore. It is an Open Source project allowing professional music notation through its software developed in C++. The software itself offers many features, but all revolve around creating and playing sheet music from a wide variety of musical instruments. 

 The MuseScore project started around 2008, and quickly became one of the best platforms that allowed powerful and easy-to-use music notation to create high-quality sheet music. You can find more information on this with the following links:

DPS909 Release 03: My Second Open Source Contribution

Image
So after a lengthy but rewarding experience with the completion of my pull request for my first open source contribution, we were now faced with building on this experience by tackling on Release0.3, which involved taking a step up from what we had already accomplished. To do this, I've decided to take on what I considered to be a more difficult bug for the brave browser.  The bug i've chosen can be found here: https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/7645 Introduction; Explaining the Bug, Exploring Known Territory The bug this time around involves the back and forward navigation buttons, more precisely, what happens when you press and hold one of those buttons for a long time. Here's a visual representation of the bug; When pressing on the navigation buttons and holding the mouse click button, a dropdown list appears with the list of previously visited websites if you clicked and held back, and a list of previously navigated websites if you clicked and held ...

DPS909 Release 01: First Open Source Project

Our first open source project was separated into two parts; the first being to create a web service in any language that could find phone numbers either from a string entered in a URL, or by sending in a file containing phone numbers. The phone numbers found would then be returned in JSON format back to the user. These following questions/answers will go into more detail: 1. What did you build? Discuss your web service and include links so people can find it. I chose to program my web service using Java. The platform I chose was Eclipse IDE, Oxygen 2 version to be more precise. It was my first time making a web service in Java so I had to do a bit of research to make sure I knew what I was doing. The web service was tested from Eclipse since the IDE provides an internal web browser viewer from which I can debug and view the site. The server was downloaded via external dependencies and set up on my laptop, so the website will not run unless my laptop and Eclipse is opened, as well a...

DPS909 Release 02: My First Open Source Contribution Part 1

Image
Our second Open Source project was to solve a "good-first-bug" in any project that suited our interests. Since I mostly prefer doing Java and/or C++ programming, I looked at many places for opportunities to solve bugs in those languages. Unfortunately, I couldn't find what I was looking for and I settled with solving a JavaScript bug in the Brave laptop-browser project on GitHub. Github Project Repository: https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop Brave Browser regular download: https://www.brave.com/ "Brave is open source, and built by a team of privacy focused, performance oriented pioneers of the web, founded by the inventor of Javascript and co-founder of Mozilla." This blog post will attempt to highlight all the major steps in the development of this project, including finding the bug, solving it, and contributing to the Brave community. To help visualize the timeline of this project, these following questions and answers will illustrate my progress bet...
