I made a thing, a BBEdit package.

[Christopher Waterman]

I'm feeling little proud and a little sheepish. As I wrote 1300 lines when 3 shell scripts totaling 6 lines - or just a unix worksheet-  could do the job great. But it was a fun project.

Also this is almost certain not to work on anyone else's computer... I laugh and cry.

It's a package that works with a non-profit programming teaching site called Exercism.org.

I think this might be a site a few folks on this list might be interested in. There are tracks on Awk, Pearl, Ruby, Python.. all great languages for manipulating text. 

Also customizing BBEdit is a great way to learn, as sometimes you just want things just so and that can be pretty darn motivating. I use to work with websites in another life and it was fun to seeing a projects bigger than one file to fruition. 

An interesting challenge was getting AppleScript and Ruby to play nice, I really like how dialog_builder.rb and exercism_dialogs.rb came out.

Thanks to anyone who wants to check it out and give me their thoughts.

Finally, I made a screenshot for the readme. It has BBEdit in it, if that isn't proper let me know and I'll remove it.

This is very nicely done, Chris,

Just a first-glance comment: I'm glad to see that the color scheme you chose for your Terminal is the same as mine. Great on the old eyes ;-)

Happy learning journey,

Alfredo

You SHOULD BE proud! Nice work!
