Hello,
I've recently decided to pick up D, and have started doing some
exercises on
https://exercism.io/ (a non-profit programming exercise
platform), which I think is an excellent way to pick up the
basics in a new language.
While doing the exercises on my own is rewarding already, I
would greatly appreciate if someone would want to pick up the
mantle of mentor in D over there. Evidently someone liked the
idea at one point enough to contribute D versions of a lot of
the exercises, but based on progress of the queue, nobody is
checking it frequently at the moment.
I've been doing some mentoring there myself, for Python and
Bash, and I think it's quite fun, and I learn a lot that way.
It forces me to regularly think hard about the basics, trying
to give considered advice to beginners.
Anyway, if someone would be willing to give it a go, you can go
to https://exercism.io/become-a-mentor and follow the
instructions there.
Thanks,
Björn
This is a great idea. I didn't know about https://exercism.io/
I've got a lot on my plate in the following weeks, but I'll try to
make some time to mentor.
I hope others in the community will join as well.
Cheers,
Edi
