I'll do operators!
I'll do 'Simple Patterns'.
I'll try to embed something like http://regexpal.com/ to support the lesson in a programming language independent manner.
I could work on it, it is in on a branch of mine: https://github.com/twitwi/bc/tree/regexp-tester-ui/intermediate/regex/tools
It is basically a script that copies the content of a fork of the "regexpal" project. I made the fork for software carpentry: https://github.com/twitwi/regexpal/tree/software-carpentry
Improvements include better styling (dropping the default style) and teaching-oriented features (adding templates and examples).
@twitwi can you please merge in anything you have that puts regexpal into our lessons? And assign this to whoever is working on the regular expression stuff?
Regular expressions are always a popular topic at bootcamps: they're entertaining, very little can go wrong, and they're useful to anyone working with messy textual data. The branch
creating-lesson-on-regular-expressions
now containsintermediate/regex/
with material imported from the Version 4 lessons; we would like to:The topics from the Version 4 lesson are listed below; there's no need for the Version 5 lesson to stick to exactly these topics, or this division of material, but it seems like a reasonable starting point. If you'd like to work on one of these, please add your name(s) in comments on this issue.
