This is awesome about GSoC: Everything about GSoC is awesome. The best thing that I found about GSoC is be able to work on something that will actually be in production, which I think is a rare opportunity. In addition, interacting with mentors and developers from across the world and learning new things every day is priceless.

This is what I learned during GSoC:

• Working with large codebase
• Regular Expressions
• Advanced JavaScript and Jquery
• MediaWiki Extension Development
• Working with Docker
• Working with MediaWiki WikiEditor
• GIT
