### What?

First-timers guide is a guide to encourage more people to venture into open-source. The word guide can be a little misunderstood

here; it means articles written in MarkDown format about various topics in Computer Science ranging from time complexity to Word2Vec.

Anyone, literally **anyone** can contribute to the repository

### How?

It's quite simple. Just write an article in MarkDown format about a topic you know; the article should be between 100-150 words and 

easy to read for a newbie. And then pull a request to start. :tada:

### Contributing

1) Fork the project

2) Add your article

3) Follow the rules given [here](https://github.com/the-ethan-hunt/first-timers-guide/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)

4) Mission Accomplished! :tada:

To see how a perfect pull request is made, see [this pull request](https://github.com/the-ethan-hunt/first-timers-guide/pull/66).

### Collaboration

First-timers-guide will be thrilled to participate or collaborate with any society or group that promotes open-source anywhere in the 

world. And we would be really happy to help you guys- anything for open-source!

- We collaborated with [Cluster Innovation Centre](https://www.ducic.ac.in/) for its Month of 

Code program in February 2018

For collaborating drop us a mail at dhruvgirishapte[at]gmail[dot]com or make an issue in this repository.

### FAQs

Q: Can I submit a code file in any language?

A: No. If it is *absolutely essential* you may talk about it to the owner and he will decide.

Q: I don't know a language. Can I contribute?

A: Absolutely. You don't require knowledge of any particular language. However, you must know about the article you are contributing.
