'''Have you participated in an open-source project before? If so, please send us URLs to your profile pages for those projects, or some other demonstration of the work that you have done in open-source. If not, why do you want to work on an open-source project this summer?<br>'''

I am new to Open Source. I have always been fascinated by the world of OSS, the way that people share their work with the world with only one objective : to make the world a better place. This is the reason I want to work on an open-source project.

This is the reason I want to work on an open-source project. I believe in Open Source and try to keep all my projects available for others to use. My motto is : The more I share the more I learn.

'''Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?<br>'''

The project focuses on challenging the user on his/her html/css skills. This will be done over various levels(increasing difficulty as the levels increase).
The project focuses on challenging the user on his/her html/css skills. This will be done over various levels(increasing difficulty as the levels increase). The idea is to help the user develop his personal website by giving challenges. I have divided the development of the personal website into approximately 35 levels(will be finalized only after the project gets accepted). The emphasis on making personal website is to keep the user motivated throughout the duration and this will act as an incentive to keep working hard. The challenge website will be a index of the levels each linked to a page which will have a challenge link and some description to help the user with the task at hand. Initially, the user will just make a template for his/her website and then tweaks to this design will be introduced so as to develop a fully functional website which will include a biography, his/her portfolio, blog and contact page.(Not sure if I should mention these things in the proposal here.

In the mid - levels, the user will be taught to use HTML5 for audio/video embedding. The user will also be taught to make the website's responsive so that their website perform perfectly on mobile devices as well. The use of bootstrap will be taught. By this time, user will be completely proficient in html and css and should be taught to use templates directly for making and editing professional websites. By learning bootstrap, user will be able to make a good looking, elegant website with ease.
The ending levels will help the user host his website through Github.
The project will also teach students to use standard coding practices, adding comments, etc.
'''What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (27 June); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.<br>

'''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors'''.'''<br>'''

'''''My Opinion''''': (((I believe that learning web development is one of the most fantastic thing(skill) a child can learn. It will always be beneficial to him and also web development is one of most sought after career in modern world. If the project is completed successfully as planned, then it will help the user to not only learn web development but also be proficient enough to make an elegant website easily.)))

When i was learning web development in my freshman year, I was going around resources like codecademy, w3schools, etc. All of them taught me syntax of how to do things but none made me do a real project which surely hindered my learning process. I believe that it is always good if you get output through something you learn because it gives you a sense that you are doing something relevant and also keeps you motivated. That is exactly, what the project will do, give students output for their work and motivate them to keep learning cool stuff.

'''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
'''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
My dad used to make me write tables(multiplication) [1-30] everyday from my 4th grade till my 10th grade. I always use to think that it is just a wastage of time and paper. But, now when I look back, I think it has made me much better than most of the people out there when playing around with numbers. The lesson that I learnt form here is that "no matter what your intelligence, it is practice that makes you better at a task and that hard work always pays off in some way or the other."
