workbooks #10

Open elf-pavlik opened 10 years ago

elf-pavlik commented 10 years ago

What do you think about creating a workbook for each workshopper? Just with empty files which have names with a number and rest matching exercise name, eg. https://github.com/elf-pavlik/learnyounode-workbook

IMO it could minimize chances for possible confusion with creating files and naming them somehow to run verify on them. People could also later easily push their solutions to github which we could use as proof of work once we start issuing OpenBadges

workflow:

  1. github fork
  2. git clone
  3. edit
  4. git commit & push

Oh, that's cute. I like it, especially if it improves the workflow of dealing with template files / folders.

that looks nice and usefull

mikeal commented 10 years ago

the only potential issue i see is a particular workshopper version being out of sync with the current workbook master. there's probably a few ways to resolve this, but we already see people who install a workshopper months before completing it and we end up having them update to take fixes that have been pushed.

rvagg commented 10 years ago

I originally imagined that learnyounode and other workshoppers would be in constant flux with exercises being added, removed, adjusted, swapped around amongst different wormshoppers. In practice however, the content of the ones that I've been involved in has been almost completely stable from a user perspective with only minor adjustments along the way. So I'm not sure the sync problem is a huge one.

mikeal commented 10 years ago

@rvagg good point, updates happen fairly regularly but it's usually instructional tweaks and bug fixes. rarely are new exercises added or the ordering changed. although, i really do think that "make it modular" should get broken up at some point.

rvagg commented 10 years ago

yes, I think everyone agrees that "make it modular" needs to be split, or at least have one added before it

elf-pavlik commented 10 years ago

thanks for :+1: @yoshuawuyts @greelgorke and for your feedback :warning: @mikeal & @rvagg

if other people mentoring during next workshop in Berlin (on Sep, 15th) agree with it, I will suggest to participants using workbooks for Core workshoppers which we plan to work with on that day!

elf-pavlik commented 10 years ago

we could also consider adding workbook generators to workshoppers :exclamation: people would still need to create github repositories themselves to publish it and we couldn't track forks of workbooks but at least it would stay in sync...

How did this go? Curious about doing it ourselves.
