Changes

This is a project-oriented course working directly with the Mozilla (Firefox/Thunderbird) and OpenOffice.org communities. Each of these communities maintains a huge codebase (millions of lines of code) which has been developed over a number of years and which is being actively improved by hundreds of contributors from many different countries. This software is written in several languages, including C/C++, JavaScript, Java, and various scripting languages (bash, perl, and python), . The software is cross-platform and works on a wide range of platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.

These courses uniquely enable you to work gain experience working on massive (multi-million-line) codebases, communicate communicating and collaborate collaborating with other developers, and make making changes that matter to huge numbers of people around the globe. Furthermore, Seneca open source students have gone on to internships and full-time employment with open source projects and companies.
