Afrolynk's Factory24 Overview

With the increasing applications of technology in our daily lives, there has been a corresponding demand for skilled software engineers in Africa revolving areas involving mobile development and data science. With their existing knowledge, Afrolynk guides the entrepreneurs to take that step further and bridge this gap with the help of Factory24.

we're currently developing to build next Gen Tech Entrepreneurs in 8 African countries including Tunisia, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Uganda etc.

Contributing Guidelines

Out of the multiple projects we're building, about 60% are built on public repositories on Github, released under OSI-approved licenses like the MIT License, the GNU General Public License and Apache License 2.0. This ensures that developers who have completed any of our courses can almost immediately start contributing by reviewing code, creating pull requests and making commits. Essentially turning contributors to maintainers and a community.

The technical model we will be replicating on all our projects is covered in our Contributing Guide which outlines our contributing guidelines, code of conduct, best practises for maintainers, our community profile and so much more.
