Introduction
Greetings!
The obstacle course is a collection of wxPython challenges that you can undertake.
Obstacles
- Take 1-4 hours to complete.
- Have clear requirements.
- Point the challenger to relevant resources:
- Static documentation
- Relevant wiki pages
- Require reasonable exertion on the part of the challenger.
- Utilize skills gained from previous challenges.
If you want to help build up the course, read the ObstacleCourseConstruction notes.
Grade
There are two grades of obstacles: Newbie For people brand new to wxPython. Pretty linear progression. Features: Installation, joining mailing lists. Going through Getting Started, with some challenges along the way.
Tweaking demo samples. Capable - For people who have completed the Newbie track.
- Branches out; Not linear.
- Grouped lessons, by subject matter.
Motivation
Obstacle Courses exist to help you: Exercise your wxPython skills. Build confidence in wxPython. Learn to use wxPython better. Understand the capabilities & limitations of wxPython. Be exposed to things you might not see amidst ingrained programming habits. Get help: Elders are prepared to help newcomers because the problem set is shared in common. Have fun!
It's easy to read a bunch of documents, and still not know anything. By tackling well graded problems, we grow.
The End
Get started! Proceed to the ObstacleCourse!
Ideas
Your contributions are invited!:
- A mailing list for people undergoing obstacles?
- Badges? (As in, Boy/Girl Scounts)
- (Honor system.)
- Signify capability.
- Signify willingness to help.
- Are fun.
