I’ve been working on my first Grails app off and on since I posted my Groovy peg game code last month. It is a site dedicated to learning Groovy, using the quiz format in the spirit of Ruby Quiz.
The premise is pretty simple: every week a new quiz will be posted on the website (groovyquiz.com), and interested developers will be able to discuss the quiz (without giving solutions ;)) for 48 hours, and then they can post their solutions on the website.
Personally, I find the quiz format to be a wonderful way to learn a new language. It gives me focus on a specific task, and how to solve it, versus meandering through the language’s documentation. I still do a little bit of the latter, as it has always been a good way of learning things about the language that I may not have know before. Once I figured out a way to make dynamic calls in COBOL using that learning technique, but thats a story for another time.
You can help!
I can use your help coming up with Quizzes, and if someone wants to help moderate the site, I would really appreciate it.
I am thinking that groovyquiz.com should be operational in the next week or two… at which point I will be posting again here and in the Groovy User/Dev mailing lists.
