Hello members of the Python Tutor mailing list,

I have been working on a website aimed at teaching programming and computer
science through quick examples in the form of exercises.  It is called
"Computer
Science by Example <https://cscx.org/>": https://cscx.org/

The exercises start very simple (e.g. read two numbers and print their sum
<https://cscx.org/add1>) then increase in difficulty and complexity
gradually (e.g. solving the change-making problem <https://cscx.org/cash>).
The website has an "online judge" functionality where students can submit
their solutions which are tested and graded automatically without human
intervention.  It currently supports solutions in *Python* and
additionally: C, C++, C#, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Lua and Ruby.

The exercises are useful not only to first time programmers, but also to
experienced programmers migrating to using Python or other languages.

Check it out at cscx.org.  The exercises are freely available for anyone to
try.

Best Regards,
Rudy
