It has been an year since I am using Ubuntu(GNU/Linux) as my primary OS and after exploring and knowing the power of open-source, I got attracted towards it. And I think GSoC is the good way for participating in open-source for some large and real-time project and increasing my efficiency and domain knowledge about open-source. Also my desire to learn more about open-source while working on some industry oriented projects would be fulfilled.

The project 'Web Confusion' aims for teaching the kids web technologies like HTML and CSS interactively. As the web technologies are emerging and are the basics of web development, this project will help children for sowing the seeds of creativity in them. By learning these technologies, kids will get help building their own website in the future.<br />

The project is for the children all over the world including the kids having XO laptops. And about the necessity of project for them, it'll like a game for them. They will learn while playing.<br />

The project focuses on creating the tutorials in the forms of chapters. There will be 3 chapters for both HTML and CSS. The chapters will further include levels, each level with its own small and easy to follow task. In this project, I'll be using HTML5 and CSS3 as planned. The reference guide to be used for creating the tutorials is Pocket HTML from http://goer.org/HTML. The coding standards will be strictly followed as laid down by the community to make the project consistent with sugar. Also, there is endless information can be found online about these and appropriate resources may be used after discussing with the mentor.<br />

'''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.

As being the Computer Science student, I needed some real-time project to work on for my 6 months training as I'll also learn a lot from it. As After finishing my end semester exams I will be completely free to devote as much time and efforts I can make. Because I'll be having my 6 months training after my exams and I'll be doing this project as full time. I am really confident that I'll finish my project before the deadline.<br />

Previously I've worked on a web-based project 'Booking System'. It is a web application. I, with one my classmate Raman, started the project under the mentorship of Sir H.S. Rai(who's mentoring BRL-CAD from previous GSoC's). It is a Django based web application. More information about this project can be found on github: http://github.com/rvirdiz/Booking_system. Hence I'd some experience with Django, Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery languages. This will surely help me in the future doing the project 'Web Confusion'. Beside learning these language during the project 'Booking System', I also had skills like Git(code revisioning), working in command-line interface, some Shell scripting and LaTeX(Document preparation system) etc. Before porting to Linux, I used to use Adobe Photoshop very much and I used to work it whenever I got spare time. But now I've also tried open-source alternatives. Hence, I have some graphic design skills that will surely help to create levels throughout the project when needed.<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''': Almost everything nowadays is linked with the Internet directly or indirectly. Internet is the future. The major purpose of Internet is to provide knowledge. Hence this project is all about Web, it will work like sowing the seed of creativity in children.<br />

'''My Opinion''': Internet is a great source of information. Even children keep exploring the information from there. If they get to know about creating Web pages they use daily, that too in an interesting manner and share with their friends It will work like sowing the seed of creativity in them. So the completion of project will be a good contribution in Sugarlabs as it will let the children grow their skills as web developers.<br />
    
'''Tony Anderson(mentor)''': The intent is to assist primary school learners to develop skill in creating web pages using HTML and CSS.<br />

crazy about just computer games) I was mad to learn Photoshop when someone introduced it to me. Whenever I got free time, I used to play with it. Initially, I didn't get much success but I didn't lose hope and kept on playing with it. I used to edit pictures of my family and friends and got good experience with it. This is how I learned it by doing as I kept dreaming for it.
