Exercism
Fantastic Code Challenge Platform
Attempted today a Code Challenge for a job post with failure rate at 10000%.
On the way to clean up the code, I messed up with static keywords.
Full need of using a coding challenge platform to practice these kind of exercises.
Resource: Exercism Open source platform for helping developers around the world get fluent in programming languages by doing challenges and getting mentorship.
It does not matter which programming language you choose. The important thing is to start thinking in that language. Immersing yourself in that language. Being creative with it.
For that reason, this platform is not only good for Thinking like Java, but also good for getting mentored by some other colleagues.
In the end, programming is all about helping each other.
How to make the most out of Exercism
- Start by completing a learning path from any of their Programming Languages. On my case I am going with Java. But you can choose any language you prefer.
- If possible, go for the local environment route. This will help you connect more with the source code.
- From time to time, try to mentor challenges that you have already solved. Even though you do not consider yourself a "Senior" you can always help others with your knowledge.
Make it a playground for experimenting with programming language. Have fun.
