Hello, Tomorrow starts the Advent Of Code 2017 [1] which consists in 2x programming puzzles per day from the 1st December to the 25th. I created a GitHub repository [2] to collect code snippets around the solutions of the Pharo community (more details in the README). I think these programming puzzles are good to: * Promote Pharo by showing solutions collected in the GitHub repository via your pull requests * Show how cool is the Pharoâs Collection API (last year most of the puzzles required heavy usage of data-structures) * Get a feedback of what could be enhanced in Pharo packages (e.g. if when you solve a puzzle you feel like a message is missing in a class or a message has a bad name which makes finding it difficult, it could be discussed and a case on fog buzz could be opened to solve this during a sprint). To participate, you just need to follow the READMEâs instructions (which basically says that you have to fork the repository, create a directory to store your solutions and create pull requests each time you solved a puzzle). There is a specific channel on the discord [3] that has been created to chat around these puzzles and their solutions. I hope to see a lot of people playing with us at solving these puzzles. :-) Cheers, Julien Links: [1]: http://adventofcode.com <http://adventofcode.com/> [2]: https://github.com/juliendelplanque/AdventOfCode2017WithPharo <https://github.com/juliendelplanque/AdventOfCode2017WithPharo> [3]: https://discord.gg/3QG4YcH <https://discord.gg/3QG4YcH> PS: There is no obligation to solve 2 puzzles per day. I know everyone is busy doing its work but please if you solve these puzzles using Pharo, propose pull requests! :-) --- Julien Delplanque Doctorant à lâUniversité de Lille 1 http://juliendelplanque.be/phd.html Equipe Rmod, Inria Bâtiment B 40, avenue Halley 59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq Numéro de téléphone: +333 59 35 86 40
