Getting started at giving back
January 06, 2014, 09:19:30 am
Hi all,

I'd love to get involved with taking CiviCRM further as a developer. Is there a developer's "getting started" guide any place?

I have a good 10 years' of programming experience under my belt, but only really doing PHP seriously for the last couple of years. I've written a couple of extensions for CiviCRM too and am pretty familiar with the architecture. I'm reasonably versed with agile and test driven stuff, but any pointers on the best way in are most welcome...

Cool!
For documentation see http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Develop
If you have any questions please ping us at #civicrm on irc
Personally I think the best way to get started is to attend a code sprint. There will be several on Cividay (Jan 29th) where are you located?

I'm in London, so plenty of opportunities to go to meet ups. There's one about 10 mins walk from my house on the 29th Jan - will be going along to that.

Excellent.
BTW Tim has been working on easing the pain of getting started as a Civi developer. Check out his civicrm-buildkit for a quick way to spin up a complete development environment.
