First Flight on HFOSS!

I'm Lanxi Xing (xingnx), this is my first post about learning HFOSS. HFOSS is a brand new field that have not been visited before - and I'm extremely exciting to start learning it.

Starting with IRC, I logged into freenode IRC and installed HexChat lately. It is a really useful instant chat room where you can keep in touch with others regardless whether they are in your class or not. This makes the learning environment extremely open and free, which you can often get both positive and negative feedback.I believe this learning environment can help me and other students to achieve more since there're more people who reviews them and they are willing to give you any kinds of feedback.

Blogging is a very important method to keep track of your own tasks and achievements. I will be posting on this blog every week to write down my successes and failures. Additionally, this will also be one of the methods for me to get help and knowledge whenever I'm stuck on developing. I'm looking forward to discover more on Blogs.

That been said, installing Github was one of the first challenges I ran into. I was stucked with Git Bash (git terminal) for a long time due to the permission error I ran into when I tried to clone a repository. This keeps me from doing everything after clone until today. I found out that there is actually a GitHub GUI I can install and make my life so much easier.By using the GUI, push and pull requests for my .yaml file was much easier. However, I would still like to learn how to do everything from the terminal due to the nature of programming where you will have to know how exactly everything worked.

In general the first flight went pretty well. I am excited that I have stepped into a field that I've never known before. I will post
