Coding Stories Resource for building engineering skills

You can find more information about Coding Stories by following this link.

There are detailed instructions for the story writing at the Author’s Guide section on codingstories.io. Also on the website, you may find all technical details and includes examples of available mark-up for a story page and guidance on storytelling to ensure your story is easy to read and follow.

The dedicated Coding Stories instance and a catalog of stories can be installed in a private cloud or data center to limit access and ensure that stories with sensitive content are available only to a specific group of engineers.

Coding Stories supports LTI protocol and can be integrated into every modern Learning Management System. Every story can be used as a practical assignment with optional grading to enhance the learning experience from other types of educational content.

All quality stories are included in a special catalog with enhanced search capabilities. You can search by author, topic, programming language or tag and sort by popularity and estimated reading time.

To be added to the catalog, all stories are verified by moderators to ensure that they are professionally written and valuable.

In addition to the catalog, you can read any story using links to publicly available Git repositories. Therefore, you can read stories which are not in the catalog yet but can still be useful.

If there’s no story available for your topic, or there is one but it’s written in another programming language, you can ask the community to create a new one.

While you can find your own way to use Coding Stories, here are the key use cases:

• As a part of training or eLearning — explain how to make proper refactoring and improve the quality of the code base; for example, implementing clean code principles
• Provide instruction on using programming language or framework features properly, switching from team wiki pages to the immersive tool which combines IDE capabilities with learning experience
• Give a test assignment for potential candidates to check their skills and reasoning abilities

Yes! Public Coding Stories are free to read and write, so you can be a part of the community and exchange expertise freely.
