level_up_exercises's Introduction

Level Up Exercises

These are the combined exercises used at http://leveluprails.com. You can do them out of sequence, but you'll probably be missing the point. Do the right thing, visit the site.

Your Submissions Welcome

When you finish an exercise, feel free to make a pull request back into this repo if you'd like some feedback on your code. As soon as I get the chance, I'll make PR comments to provide some guidance as well. There's no catch here -- give it a shot. 👊 Joe

The First Lesson

Like everything else in the world, these exercises have errors and problems and typos. We experience this problem whenever we code, and the only way to stay sane as a group is to fix problems as we find them. Be a mensch, send pull requests.

level_up_exercises's Issues

[Discussion] Extraneous details make training take too long

Per discussion with @djkotowski and @bwthomas, they're looking at ways to pare down some of the assignments. Since we don't want to remove learning, that means trimming some of the non-essential parts of assignments.

As an example, overlord currently requires you to build a bomb. Since the assignment is about BDD, that detail is not really necessary, and often trips up learners.

Here's a potential suggestion to change and remove that requirement:

"Exercises From This Lesson" Checklist Not Updating Instantly

When you click the 'Complete' button for an exercise, the button changes to have the checkbox checked. However, there is another progress checklist in the right sidebar under "Exercises From This Lesson". This checklist does not update when the 'Complete' button is pressed. Instead, it waits until the page is reloaded.

Right now the link in this line is dead. You might want to replace that.
