Open Source Experience Building Programme for Software Devs and Automated Testers - currently operational in Kenya / Uganda / US
Co-Founded by John Dickerson (JD) and Ronald Kasaija (RK)
We work hard, dream. breath and exhale software - 24 hours a day.
SpotADev is an open source collective that was co-founded by RK and JD to help Software Devs and Automated Testers build experience to put on their CVs.
We do this by assigning devs / testers to a stream and collaborating with them on project work to build up valuable experience on their CVs.
There is a lot of content hidden on this site.
See a couple examples of content written by JD (currently the principal contributor of code examples and blogs):
For an overview of Java Spring Boot see:
For the Latency Ball project, JD coded:
To explain some of the principles of multi threading for Medium Thread Contention environments JD coded:
Happy Reading!

Different Jobs in Industry often require different subsets of skills. For this purpose we have introduced Streams. Each Stream has a focused specialisation. Streams can share common technologies and they differ in how much time and energy they require. The aim with all of this is to build up experience on your CV so you can secure the job you want in the least amount of time possible. We assist you on deciding which Stream and projects to join.
A lot of the SpotADev software projects use the JavaSpeak Effort Based (JEB) license. This license states that in the event of monetisation, monies shall be distributed in proportion to effort. This effort can be measured by Git Contributions.
We also actively encourage devs to start their own project with or without the above mentioned JEB license. It is through lots of collaboration that we build up the skills we need for Industry.
For more details of Streams see: Streams
We can set up streams which match your requirements. For this to work you need to contact us several months before you need the dev / automated testers so we can ensure our devs and testers build up the necessary experience to hit the deck running.
To get started:
SpotADev is connected to Industry Partners.
Once you have built up experience on your CV through collaborating on project work we can pair you with our partners.
