This is awesome about GSoC: Everything about GSoC is awesome. The best thing that I found about GSoC is be able to work on something that will actually be in production, which I think is a rare opportunity. In addition, interacting with mentors and developers from across the world and learning new things every day is priceless.
This is what I learned during GSoC:
- Working with large codebase
- Regular Expressions
- Advanced JavaScript and Jquery
- MediaWiki Extension Development
- Working with Docker
- Working with MediaWiki WikiEditor
- GIT
