Hi Myrle, Thank you for a very good reply.I am familiar with core java and collections framework.I also build test frameworks with Junit4 in my day job.I am learning about REST and The Command Query Responsibility Segregation pattern.So given my current knowledge, how can I start contributing to Fineract CN? Can you please guide me regarding the same?
