[Feature Proposal] Quiz-style pdf generation #97

Open diveflo opened 3 years ago

diveflo commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I usually like to use the mock exam questions as a refresher/quiz a few times during my seminars. For that, I usually create a powerpoint or pdf with alternating question and answer slides/pages. See example pdf: mock-exam-presentation.pdf

As the mock exam is now available in asciidoc (great job btw:) ) I was wondering if you'd be interested in automatically generating something like this as well. I already setup a prototypical implementation of that using the build mechanism in this repo.

If you'd be interested to have that in here as well I'd try to cleanup the implementation and send you a pull request:) No hard feelings if you'd rather not see this directly in this repo. I'd alternatively setup a separate project and just reference this repo as a submodule 👍

Let me know what you think:)

Thanx Florian, a gooood idea, imho.

I think people could benefit from having an (optional) additional version - and it's very simple to reference it from our official isaqb-org.github.io repository.

Therefore - please add such a target to our build process.

I am writing an application which uses the asciidoc as input and gives a UI. https://github.com/janmaterne/isaqb-mock-exam-ui

A collegue of mine presented that on the last iSAQB meeting.

@janmaterne nice - and thanx for letting us know. linux Please inform us when you consider it a "workable" version.

My suggestions:

a decent readme with: a "using it" section, in case people just want to use the exam a "developing" section, for motivated devs who want to contribute and enhance it
a list of requirements (java, docker, shell)
in addition to the run.bat, a run.sh for mac/linux users
the possibility to use it without docker ("compiled version with embedded JRE") ... but that's christmas and birthday coming together.

Thanks, I put it on my list.

@gernotstarke Christmas and Birthday are together ;-)

impressed-I-am, to say it with Yoda's words. Will have a look asap. Would you like to brush it up even further and write a blogpost for the iSAQB about it? With some screenshots and details of your implementation?? -> in case you're interested, drop me a mail (gs - at - gernotstarke dot de)

janmaterne commented 3 years ago

Hi @gernotstarke , I sent an email a while ago but without any reply. Maybe you are busy. 😉 Basically a link to the blog draft at https://github.com/janmaterne/isaqb-mock-exam-ui/tree/master/src%2Farticles%2Fisaqb-blog

gernotstarke commented 3 years ago

sorry, "busy" describes it quite well. Spain->Cologne->Zürich->Cologne->DUS->Cologne within 7 days... so please excuse the delay.

Artikel sieht für mich schon gut aus - in zwei Wochen hab' ich einen Foundation-Kurs bei einer Firma, da lasse ich die Leute Dein Tool mal ausprobieren... vorher geht's bei mir ziemlich "busy" weiter (CGN-NUR-MUC-MAN-LIV-MAN-ZRH-CGN)... schönes Wo-Ende Gernot

gernotstarke commented 2 years ago

Artikel finde ich gut so - die "Korrektheit" Deiner Implementierung habe ich mir nicht genau angeschaut, finde das als Unterstützung aber super interessant!

Ich stelle gerne den Kontakt zum iSAQB Marketing her, wenn Du möchtest.
