Hey all teaching open sourcerers, I wanted to share something with you that we (OpenHatch) have been working on through Google Summer of Code. I mention these things from time to time, but there's nothing like actually trying something...
The training missions: http://openhatch.org/missions/ We have these automated learning tools we call "Training missions" that John Stumpo has been putting together through Google Summer of Code. We just deployed an interactive tool for learning Subversion a few hours ago! I want you guys to try the new Subversion one. We also have missions up for learning tar and diff/patch. These apply to non-coders as well as coders; you need a lot of these skills just to get going in open source land. Would you give them a shot and tell me what you think? http://openhatch.org/missions/ Or read our little manifesto about what they are, and why we think they're important: https://openhatch.org/blog/2010/the-thinking-behind-the-training-missions/ Does it make sense? Is it something that you'd be willing to recommend to people? What do you like about it, and what don't you? Educationally (if hurriedly) yours, -- Asheesh. -- Bridge ahead. Pay troll. _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
