=== Desktop Social Networking Integration ===
 +
*[http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Desktop_Social_Networking_Integration Project's Wiki]
 +
*The project's leader, Timothy Duavis, was in need of a way to interface with his SQL Lite database. SQL Lite is essentially a mini-database that saves all data to a file. I found an SQL Lite client for him to use and showed him how to interact with it's functions to alter his database. I also provided him with professional contacts who are able to help him or any person using the SQL Lite database for open source project purposes.

=== Add Support For More Compilers To Distcc ===
 +
*[http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Add_support_for_more_compilers_to_distcc Project's Wiki]
 +
*I have lined up some C# files that need to be tested on the distcc compiler. They are not ordinary C# files, these are C# classes that include everything from data structures, use inheritance and polymorphism (in other words, interfaces). Peter Callaghan informed me that this would be beneficial to the project because it would test out if the system is capable of handling major C# systems.

== First XPCOM Lab ==
 +
This [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Real_World_Mozilla_First_XPCOM_Component lab] provided a walkthrough of how to create an XPCOM and subsequently utilize it. I learned a great deal about IDL files, creating make files, and how to create a basic XPCOM.

I also [http://rueenfiez.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/first-xpcom/ blogged] about my first XPCOM experience.

Purpose of this lab was to modify the behavior of creating new Firefox tabs, specifically, their location. This patch will make tabs appear next to the current one instead of at the end of the tab list which is the default.

  1. Software Requirements: Python --> Get it from Python's download page
  2. Project's Wiki provides information regarding the project and updated frequently.
  3. For more information, check out my blog.

Contributions To Other Projects

These are the following project's I've contributed to. Anything from actual code, documentation, testing, or providing some service to benefit the project.

  1. Desktop Social Networking Integration project
  2. Full Text History Search extension
  3. Add Support For More Compilers To Distcc

Desktop Social Networking Integration

  • Project's Wiki
  • The project's leader, Timothy Duavis, was in need of a way to interface with his SQL Lite database. SQL Lite is essentially a mini-database that saves all data to a file. I found an SQL Lite client for him to use and showed him how to interact with it's functions to alter his database. I also provided him with professional contacts who are able to help him or any person using the SQL Lite database for open source project purposes.

Full Text History Search extension

  • Project's Wiki
  • I assisted the project's leader, Vijey Balasundaram, with JavaScript code primarily. As well as setting up his environment for actually building the extension

Add Support For More Compilers To Distcc

  • Project's Wiki
  • I have lined up some C# files that need to be tested on the distcc compiler. They are not ordinary C# files, these are C# classes that include everything from data structures, use inheritance and polymorphism (in other words, interfaces).
