I first discovered GitHub when I was going to MeetUps in the Loop, trying to figure out what a \u201creal\u201d developer did. As someone who came from a non-technical background, I wanted to know as much about getting into the tech industry as I could. I kept hearing from professional developers that companies would see their work on GitHub, and reach out to them with job opportunities.
\n<\/p>\n

As someone without a college degree who disliked putting together resumes, I thought \u201cThis is for me.\u201d I figured if I added projects to my GitHub, I could find a job as a \u201creal\u201d developer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think it worked \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that hiring managers, recruiters, and developers look to GitHub when looking for talent. It\u2019s a way for them to look at your work, and see how you might fit on their team.<\/p>\n

Many companies are getting rid of resumes altogether or leaving the request for a resume until the end of the interview process. It makes sense; why look at a piece of paper that vaguely describes a developers skills when you can just look at a repository of a developer\u2019s skills?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I came up with this list of 51 project ideas for GitHub, so you have one last thing to think about. Just pick any number, 1 through 35, and build it. Your project can be made in any language, with or without a framework. Pick a language that you want to show off to hiring managers, or a technology that you want to learn for fun.<\/p>\n
