Excellent way to learn more through solving problems and checking other people's solutions!

A dead simple way to practice programming skills. The languages with concepts provide a full path to learning the entire language - which is very attractive

Has many exercises in many languages. You can learn from the solutions other users submitted. However, the tests sometimes require you to implement your program in a specific way which restricts your freedom and creativity.

Exercism.io promotes programming education through a test-driven development and "learn by doing" philosophy. A great way to dive right into learning a programming language and getting more familiar with the pragmatics of the language - plus, it's fun.

What is exercism?

Are you a code newbie?

Learning to program is exhilarating and challenging... and also frustrating, exhausting, and overwhelming.

Exercism provides countless small wins. The exercises are achievable mini-quests: small and well-defined, and with enough complexity to uncover bite-sized knowledge gaps.

The solutions you write provide reviewers with clues about what you haven't grasped yet. The feedback you receive will guide you to relevant study topics and dramatically increase the ease with which you write code.
