Contribution after the holidays

Merry Christmas! I have asked Eric for some more interfaces to document after the holidays as I needed some more contributions for the open source class. Eric responded quickly and I was up and running again after that small christmas break. It was another ideal experience as i get to read newer interfaces and see what they actually do. Click here to see the stuff i worked on the past few days. Its under the heading of "Contributions". Well... its time to get back into the holiday season as New Years is approaching. Happy New Years everybody.

0.3 Release

My final release for this project is a large one. At the beginning, Eric Sheppard gave us (me, AJ and Andrew) all the interfaces and we each split them up to work on them. I was appointed 18 interfaces and have completed my goals as of now. There are roughly three different categories including nsIDirectory, nsIAsync, and nsIAccessibile. These were all great interfaces with different coding styles. I learn a lot just from reading the code itself. At times, the code got very complicated where a class would inherit from multiple classes and I would get confused. I had to ask for help which made my life a bit easier. I felt I have contributed and teamed up with AJ and Eric nicely in this documentation project and was a fantastic experience for me. The list of interfaces I did can be found here.
