Acquaintance

The internship began at 11 am. We met with the curator of the internship. She spoke about the internship format itself. We were asked to choose a module on which we would like to work. Everyone chose a module for their profile. I chose to develop backend on java, but there was an option to choose to work on a mobile application for Android. Now we need to wait for the tasks themselves to appear and we will divide into groups with the participants. Among the interns are people who also want to write code in Python, C #, Ruby, JavaScript.

The project we are working on is called Clucky . This is a new service for answering questions (if you are familiar with mail.ru answers, you will understand). The project will be open source and posted on github. For the publication of tasks on the project chosen platform Trello. A little later, in other articles I will provide a link to open access. For online communication, we chose Telegram messenger, it is quite convenient to discuss the project itself.
