Get better at programming through fun, rewarding coding exercises that test your understanding of concepts with Exercism.
Implement a program that translates from English to Pig Latin.
Randomly generate Dungeons & Dragons characters.
Learn about bit manipulation by writing a program to decrypt a message.
Crystal's syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby, so it is natural to read and easy to write.
Crystal is statically type checked with built-in type inference, so type errors are caught early.
All types are non-nilable in Crystal, so the compiler checks for null references at compile time.
Crystal has built in concurrency primitives, called fibers, to achieve concurrency.
Crystal has dedicated syntax to easily call native libraries, increasing code re-use.
Crystal's answer to metaprogramming is a powerful macro system.
Every language has its own way of doing things. Crystal is no different. Our mentors will help you learn to think like a Crystal developer and how to write idiomatic code in Crystal. Once you've solved an exercise, submit it to our volunteer team, and they'll give you hints, ideas, and feedback on how to make it feel more like what you'd normally see in Crystal - they'll help you discover the things you don't know that you don't know.
