CodeAbbey - site with problemset for novice programmers
Hi colleagues!
I've mentioned my site CodeAbbey in several posts already - and some people even came to see it, as I could judge by nicknames.
But perhaps it would be better tell about it in separate post. Here it is.
http://codeabbey.com
It is the site for practicing in programming problem solving. However, unlike http://topcoder.com or http://codeforces.com it is intended not for competitive programming gurus, but for ordinary developers and especially beginners.
So problems here are somewhat ordered by increasing difficulty (and they are mostly very simple anyway, at least now). Web-site does not have online-judge for compiling and checking solutions, but instead it does the following:
- proposes a set of randomized input data for each task;
- and allows to submit the result of processing these data which user should generate running his solution wherever he wants.
It is more like http://projecteuler.net or Facebook Hackercup (its lower rounds) - though the data and the answers are random to make things somewhat less boring.
By solving tasks users ascend in the ranking table. Viewing other's solutions is allowed, but only when user solves the same task.
Main page contains intro video about using the site.
The whole thing is still somewhat dull and design is not extremely sexy, though I'm proceeding with work on it (its age is almost 2 months now, so it is young enough).
However, I think that many of you - being people with different (and often deeper) experience in IT - could give me many important advises on improving this site. Thanks in advance!
