Have you ever ever tried to grasp what is a few firm really doing, from the software program engineering perspective?
Let´s take an organization named Finbourne (https://www.finbourne.com/).
Finbourne web site states that: “At FINBOURNE we liberate your information, making it accessible throughout the funding chain. Our options restore management and confidence, empowering everybody from rising hedge funds to established international establishments.”.
Properly, it seems to be the corporate supplies information processing and information supply. Nevertheless, from the engineer´s perspective, that’s nonetheless very obscure. You wouldn´t count on a monetary firm to talk engineering language on it´s first web page, proper?
So how can we really examine which form of software program Finbourne creates?
Open Supply Group to the rescue.
It seems that Finbourne has a GitHub account at https://github.com/finbourne
The account is “verified”, which makes it (almost certainly) credible.
Now, let´s check out the GitHub repositories of the Finbourne.
On the web page a funding information platform referred to as Lusid is talked about. 
Tech is just talked about on the entrance web page whether it is actually vital. So, let´s examine if there are repositories associated to Lusid and filter them by Java language utilization
I’ve chosen the “lusid-sdk-java-preview” because it presents the most recent options within the Lusid´s SDK.
The https://github.com/finbourne/lusid-sdk-java-preview/blob/grasp/README.md file is sort of easy, so the easiest way to grasp the venture is to fork it and have a look.
As you’ll be able to see, the venture has been not too long ago up to date.
Right here comes the straightforward half.
I have to examine which department is generally used to growth and attempt to construct it.
From the git historical past we are able to see that each grasp and develop branches are on the most recent codebase.
I’ll choose “develop”.
Revenue!
The venture builds and now I can really begin investigating and doubtless contributing (why not?):
As often, lets add maven wrapper and gradle scan to the venture:
Sorry for not taking screenshots, however mainly I would like so as to add 2 issues to the venture, simply to make it look cleaner: maven wrapper and gradle scan plugin.
Now let´s add gradle scan plugin to the venture.
Properly, a pull request has been raised:
And a construct scan hass succeeded.
I can already see some issues there, however we are going to depart it for the longer term articles.
