20 minutes makes a difference
I struggled to learn MATLAB at first. A colleague at my university gave me about 20 minutes of his time to show me some basic features, how to reference the documentation, and how to debug code. That was enough for me to start using MATLAB independently. After a few semesters of developing analyses and visualizations, I started answering questions in the forum when I had time. I became addicted to volunteering and learning from the breadth of analytical problems the forum exposed me to.
Have you ever solved a problem using a MathWorks product?
If your answer is YES, you may be the right person to help someone looking for guidance to solve a similar problem. Some answers in the MATLAB Central community forum maintain 1000s of views per month and some files on the File Exchange have 1000s of downloads. Volunteering a moment of your time to answer a question or to share content to the File Exchange may benefit countless individuals in the near and distant future and you will likely learn a lot by contributing too!
- 3616 questions were asked last month in the forum and in that time, 747 volunteers answered at least one question!
- 62% of those volunteers were first-time contributors!
- 335 volunteer contributors shared content in the File Exchange last month!
- 1: the number of contributions it takes to make a difference.
This week is National Volunteer Week in the USA (April 17-23). Challenge yourself and your colleagues by committing to help a stranger break barriers in their path to learning MATLAB.
How to volunteer and contribute to the MATLAB Central Community
Here are two easy ways to accept the volunteer challenge.
Contribute to the MATLAB Answers Forum
- Go to the MATLAB Answers repository. This page shows all unanswered questions starting with the most recent question. Use the filters on the left to see answered questions or questions belonging to a specific category. Alternatively, search for questions using keywords in the search field or visit the landing page.
- Open a few questions that interest you based on the question titles and tags.
- Decide how you'd like to contribute. Sometimes a question needs refinement or requires a bit of work to address. Decide whether to leave a comment that guides the user in the right direction, answer the question, or skip to the next question. The decision tree below is how some experienced contributors approach these decisions.
Pro tips
- Newer questions have more traffic and are often answered within an hour or minutes.
- Multiple answers often add valuable alternative perspectives and solutions.
- Sometimes answers aren't accepted or the asker disappears. Be not discouraged. Your answer holds much value.
Contribute to the File Exchange
- Choose a function, script, demo, or toolbox you created that may be helpful to the community.
- Go to the MathWorks File Exchange. Search for submissions that are similar to your idea and decide whether your idea adds value.
- Prepare your code for open-source sharing. The best submissions include brief documentation that explains the purpose of the code, inputs, expected outputs and limitations.
- Use the "Publish your code" button from the link above. This will guide you through the submission process.
Make a difference
No matter what level you are at as a MATLAB developer, you have skills that others around you could benefit from learning. Take the challenge and become a giant.
