Maxim Stewart has been using FOSS for roughly 6+ years now and has loved every minute of it. FOSS has given him the freedom to explore and question how things work and as such, it has given him skills in the fields of troubleshooting, programming, and IT to improve the world one byte at a time. He has striven to share his knowledge through platforms such as Youtube, Opensource.com, and elsewhere. Furthermore, he is the maintainer of a fledgling OS called Sol-OS (NOT Solus) which aims to be lightweight and feature packed. It has also served as a means to improve his programming skills in Java, C++, Javascript, Bash, and other languages.

This is a great piece!
That is such an important point Seth, One does learn faster if one has a project they want to do. I learned Java trying to make a screen sharer, desktop environment, and password manager. I am not great at programming per say, yet, but I have learned advanced concepts such as inheritance, threading, and server/client socketing because of specific projects I wanted to do and the usefulness of such concepts.
