I thought it would be interesting to maybe work on Elixir problems together. I know I’m struggling with some of the problems in the middle of Programming Elixir. It would be cool if we posted problems we were working on with our solutions, and got feedback on it.

Thoughts?

Sounds good DM - how far through the book are you?

detectivemittens OP

I’ve left off right at the middle of the book, when it shifts over to talking about concurrency.

Have you looked at exercism.io? Elixir on Exercism

It’s not related to the book, but you post your solutions to the problems and get feedback, so may be exactly what you were looking for.

I think you can put code snippet in gist/github. I have my code here GitHub - mkunikow/programming-elixir-exercises · GitHub . Also some solutions you can find here Topics tagged pragprog .

So suppose we could create programming-elixir-exercises topic with gist links?

detectivemittens OP

I have! Unfortunately, I haven’t heard much response back. I guess I should also look in the Slack channel?

@mkunikow - Yeah. We should put our code snippets into Github/Gists. Maybe make it so that they can just be pull requested for comments?

But I assume we should have sub forum for this and each topic will be exercise. But I don’t know if this is possible :frowning:
Or topics should be grouped by tag.

Can you give me some more information on how you’d like it to work please? I’ll have a think about how we can incorporate something here then if that’s what you want :slight_smile:

Perhaps something like this?

  • Create a sub-section under ‘Learning Elixir’ - perhaps call it Exercises.
  • We post challenges/tasks in different threads (and label them, beginner, intermediate, expert etc).
  • Then everyone can post their answers and discuss things in the thread

I would like something like this Topics tagged pragprog so we can have one topic ListsAndRecursion-5 and each user can paste solution and discuss other solutions. What do you think?

AstonJ

AstonJ

Yep, that sounds good :023: I can create an Exercises sub-section of Learning Elixir.

We will need a team to help come up with exercises - do yo, @detectivemittens and @CoderDennis want to put one together, or perhaps source questions via Twitter, the IRC channel etc?

I would suggest we start with ultra easy and work our way upwards :lol:

+1. Imho, nice advice. Exercism allows you to share a link to your solution and get a feedback in a convenient way.
