Warewolf

[Help] We're always looking for C# devs to help us with our open source service bus. It's on GitHub here - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB Please get in touch if you want more info: info at warewolf dot io

When we hire we look at years of working experience, and request a technical assessment before interview. In my opinion, quality of work and culture fit are far more important than a college degree. Many colleges are out of date and behind technology. I would suggest building up your portfolio and reputation by working on open source projects. You will also learn a ton from experienced developers you meet there - more than you could in the same amount of time at a college. If you code in C#, we'd love to see your contribution to our project here - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB Good luck!

Work on an opensource project! There are tons available on GitHub, some with really basic stuff. It will look great on your CV, you'll learn a lot from other devs, and it's good for the open source software movement (i.e. everyone!). We're always looking for contributors, you can check out what we're doing here - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

Some "visal programming languages" are actually faster to develop, specifically where there are prebuilt components and the real ability to reuse existing work. Another great advantage is for business people and BAs to be able to easily see and understand how the application works, and even contribute at a meaningful level to what business needs.It's easier for new people on a project to pick up an understand what has been written, rather than getting their head around thousands of lines of code. While technically not a visual programming language, we're developing an ESB that works inside a visual IDE and uses a lot of flow based and visual programming principles to make it easy to learn and simple to use. It's an open source project, go check it out on GitHub - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB or get a compiled version from

We have recently moved away from proprietary software and made our ESB open source (hosted on GitHub). How do you effectively get community participation in the project? We have put our project on OpenHatch. Are there other open source project directories that where keen participants might be searching? Here is a link to the GitHub page if you want to check it out - critique away! https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

Hey Elliott It might be worth checking out Warewolf ESB - it's a visual programming platform with flow-based programming principles. It's primarily a service bus, but for your needs it will really help you move away from the "spaghetti code" and into a more modular, visual application. It's open source and free: Compiled version: http://warewolf.io Source code from GitHub: https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

We've recently taken our software open source and are hosting it on GitHub. We're looking for feedback on the GitHub front page - as a software developer does it give you the information you are looking for? Is there anything missing? What else do you want to see there to make a decision to get involved or not? https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB Any feedback much appreciate. Thanks

Hi Alex We need your help! Check out Warewolf Easy Service Bus - Primarily written in C# - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB We got tired of complex and intricate ESBs, so we're building one that is easy to learn and simple to use. It's a big breakthrough. Would love to hear any of your feedback - good and bad! Please be in touch directly or via http://community.warewolf.io

A lot of people feel this way, especially when they are developing on legacy systems or doing standard line of business apps. I would suggest finding an open source project you are passionate about. There are some really cool open source software applications popping up that need passionate developers like you to get involved. That's how you make an impact - get involved and do something that benefits the community, and that you can be proud to have put your name on! It might not help so much with your day job, but it will certainly open up new opportunities for you, improve your skills and look great on your CV. Plus it's a lot of fun! Do a search in GitHub, or if you program in C# come take a look at what we're doing (yes, you can change the world!): https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

Come check out Warewolf ESB - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB It's recently become open source so now is a good time to get in early and stick your name on it. It's .Net based, so a little bit of polishing up will need to happen. Looking forward to your contribution :)

Good open source projects should have documentation for you to help you get started. Like the other posts, there are many ways you can contribute, and every little bit does help. As far as I know, no one will be standing over you expecting you to finish anything, unless you made some kind of agreement to start. I would suggest finding something you enjoy and just start. When you are ready to submit your changes be ready for great feedback and a ton of learning. You will be working with some really passionate, skilled guys so there will undoubtedly be a big, but rewarding, learning curve. Our project is .Net based, so not really a fit for your skills, but feel free to check it out or share with your friends: https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB Good luck, and most of all, have fun!

This is exactly the point! We're also tired of the complicated, messy service buses our team has worked with. That's why we're going after making it simple, easy to work with and valuable to any developer or business. Bring your passion and get involved at https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB

Thanks for your feedback. We'd really love to harness your experience if you're willing to try the application. You can get a compiled version at http://warewolf.io or get it directly from GitHub https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB/
