Unanswered Ideas for tryfsharp

    I have a few ideas for tryF# if you know of a better place to send it too, please tell me

     

    tracking Progress : 

    A person signed on might want to see the lessons it has completed (and mark stuff he know by hand of course) metric associated : some measure of fragmentation.

    Badges : have a badge to display on website, that depends on themes / %age completed ?

    that should be fairly easy to do if one stick with a few. (ideally that would come with an API to mix with other badges provided by other vendor (github etc) that a person might need to master to become a F# contributor)

    One could imagine a "F# id skill map" automatically generated : I completed this, pushed code on that, etc...... For getting engagement from people on the fringe that might be useful.

     

    Have some learning calendar : now when people start using tryfsharp, they don't know how long it is going to take. it would be good to generate a prospective 'learning calendar' that sends reminders, reading material in advance. if people mark a theme as already known, it would ideally adapt to it.

    I am one of the Try F# team, so you have sent it exactly the right place.
