For the last 4 months I was working in the project CAT SCMP .

Scmp which stands for:  Scalable Community Messaging Platform ,is a platform that

holds a variety of services that are sharing and integrating the same resources.

One of theses services is chat service that we managed to have it working -only yesterday-on the first sprint of the project .

But actually i’m writing this post to talk about what i loved in SCMP and what i learned from working in such project

even if my contributions were not big enough but what i learned really worth sharing:

1-I Can  Code ! : yes am really happy with this ,as i was like alot of people who love programming

learn new things from now and then ,study programming languages,but also couldn’t  code

or let’s say didn’t know from where is the starting point for programming so being able to write

a test code -even if it’s easy- and managing to understand the code in a huge system like SCMP is a very nice way to go for me !

Note:by “coding”  i don’t mean being a code writer but being a programmer.

2-Live coding gatherings : this is the part i really liked alot,to be with a group of smart people sharing ideas for hours

-or even listening to them- was a very inspiring and useful thing .

3-Team Work : with a team led by a girl like :Amal – who i consider a java geek – ,team working was awesome!

each one in the team has a task and whatever can help him to do it-books and Tutorials-and if he fails in any part

he asks the leader for help untill he manages his task well (and all thanks goes to Amal).

4-Scrum : in SCMP we had scrum ,we had online meetings to scrum ,so we have to manage our tasks

as we’ll be asked by the manager about what we have done ,discuss the problems we faced ,and take  new tasks to do .

-SCMP is now working, we are preparing for the alpha release .

I really learned alot from this project and had a great time and will continue working in it ISA

and i have to Thank Eng.Ahmed Soliman the owner of SCMP who helped us alot .

If u have the spirit to join a motivated team and contribute in a high educational project

then  Please join us .

There will be a session about SCMP next sunday during the event H4ck3rz Duo which will take place tomorrow in Mansoura University ,so u can attend it if u are interested .
