Mentored six students on (https://exercism.org/). Got one testimonial (positive). Have received a total of five so far, all good words.. I’ve mentored a lot more students in total, but the sessions are not counted until they acknowledge feedback and terminate them. Some submit requests for mentoring but then forget about them, which is frustrating, considering I put a lot of time and effort into giving proper…

Although I was initially afraid of mentoring (on Exercism), I seem to have fallen into a positive flow. It’s been a great feeling to help students who have just recently started out on their journey. I was able to spot bits and pieces susceptible of improvement and steer them in the direction of better habits and best practices. It’s only been a few days, but I feel I’ve already grown a lot from it, and I’m…

Enter Exercism, offering the opportunity to mentor other students on their solutions to the challenges. Perfect opportunity to start growing those mentoring muscles.

After reading Erik’s post I fell over a post from: Erik Walker, the co-founder of Exercism.io, entitled: “2M users but no money in the bank. Tough times “.

There are quite a few things in common with Exercism in that it’s a nice community, well structured and you get mentored by other students and can mentor yourself when you feel ready.

Completed another challenge on Exercism (theme: recursion) this morning. Today has been quite busy and tiring on a personal level, mind feels fatigued, so there won’t be much more and I’ll go to bed early.

I’m not an expert, I don’t feel like one. Nonetheless, I think I have learned a thing or two, both in terms of hard and soft skills, and I’d love to share these with others. Mentoring, at this stage, has more of a horizontal-communal essence for me, rather than a strictly vertical-hierarchical one.
The aforementioned Exercism offers a mentoring feature, acting like a sort of enhanced code review between…

When I got my first job as a junior software engineer, my team lead suggested I take a course by MIT, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python to improve my fundamental knowledge of computer science. The course duration was 9 weeks and I learned a lot of theory about programming and picked up Python syntax. I liked the course and especially the exercises that were presented there. At that time…

Nice, this reminds me of Exercism, which I wish was more widely known since they seem to be good folks. (disclaimer, I donate to them) https://exercism.org/.

Last year, Exercism put together the #12in23 challenge. The goal was to learn a new programming language each month throughout the year. I was one of 135 people who completed the challenge, and I learned a lot along the way!

The list of languages contains every language on Exercism, excluding ones that I’ve used before, web languages, or ones that I can’t download for some reason.

You might like https://exercism.org/ Learning by doing, with the help of mentors. Excellent way to learn a next language (as you are already familiar with the programming concepts).

Exercism is pretty good for beginners with some programming language, they are open source and worth contributing to.

> it might be more sustainable if courses were stored in a version controllable medium to facilitate multiple collaborators My initial thought was to actually use GitHub to store the content. Either on Markdown or JSON – to have some version control. I like how Exercism [1] does it. But I thought it would be hard for teachers – unfamiliar with Git – to update lessons. Then, I thought about implementing a version…

In this occasion I want to ask you guys, What is your opinion or experience with exercism.org? I like problem solving and I want to try this one because there are languages that I found interesting like rust, zig and Go.

In September both Raku and Perl are going to be featured languages on exercism.org. I’ve committed my spare time to getting a basic syllabus written for both by then, and I would like some help with some other content.

There are hundreds of thousands of resources, I suggest you do some googling and try to find the one that suits your learning style (though the exercism.org tutorial would get my vote).

May I suggest this site. Besides coding, it teaches a lot of other things most places do not discuss such as ”good looking” code, proper maning conventions and other best practices. Ive really enjoyed the python course and it has a ton of other languages as well. Good luck on your journey and stick to it! Dont focus too much on theory. Aim to start doing your own stuff asap! :).
