Exercism - Scala Exercises VS Rustlings

> it might be more sustainable if courses were stored in a version controllable medium to facilitate multiple collaborators

My initial thought was to actually use GitHub to store the content. Either on Markdown or JSON - to have some version control. I like how Exercism [1] does it. But I thought it would be hard for teachers - unfamiliar with Git - to update lessons.

Then, I thought about implementing a version control system for the project but I felt I was overcomplicating things for an MVP. But I like the idea of having some kind of version control to improve collaboration.

I've seen https://exercism.org/ recommended, it's got multiple languages including bash, and it seems capable of testing various solutions as well as having a section of community solutions to validate against.

Exercism being https://exercism.org in case people are unfamiliar.

This platform works fine for that purpose: https://exercism.org/

Once you get an interview you have to pass a whiteboard style question. These are commonly called leetcode questions today, showing you can solve a programming problem in a limited amount of time. To study up for this type of interview question consider going to https://exercism.org/. It has a lot of good little fun programming problems worth doing to get better at programming. You can also look at other people's submissions. I wouldn't cheat, but once you've done the best that you can, you can look at others answers and see if you did better and if you didn't there is something you could learn and improve on.

Rust also has something similar which is where I believe Zig drew inspiration from as well: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings

Rustlings gives a great introduction to the language:

Consider solving puzzles and exercises from rustlings and / or try the Rust track at exercism which I found very valuable.

Rustlings(for learning by doing): https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings

Yea sure, The Rust Book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ Interactive version of the book: https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu/ Rustlings(for learning by doing): https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings YT course: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLai5B987bZ9CoVR-QEIN9foz4QCJ0H2Y8 And a migration from TS course: https://frontendmasters.com/courses/rust-ts-devs/

Also maybe try rustling for exercises. These are practical, and give you examples to read through. Quite nice IMO.

Clone the Rustlings repository locally and try solving as much as you can.

Rustlings is a set of small exercises. Sounds "tutorial-y" but some of them actually teach you some concepts beyond the basics. I really like the conversion problems, hashmap problems, iterators. They will get you to a point where you can write some Rust code and understand what the compiler wants from you.

After reading the rust book I would do Rustlings and any rustlings adjacent projects as needed https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings
