Advent of Code is a series of 25 small programming challenges, it's an ideal way for beginners to start learning a computer language, and for advanced people to sharpen their programming skills.
There are small and bigger puzzles, which you can solve typically in half an hour to a few hours. (Looking at the leaderboard, the top aces can do them in less than 10 minutes.)
Advent of Code is created by Eric Wastl, you can find all info on https://adventofcode.com/.
Hello everyone,
From now till the 25th of december each day 2 programming problems to sharpen your programming skills.

Hi Community!
We try a new approach to the InterSystems Developers YouTube Videos called "Coding Talks"!
Coding Talks is a short video in which the developer demonstrates a particular feature or functionality of InterSystems Data Platforms which he/she uses to in coding. Typical format: the face on side and editor with ObjectScript.
Check this video I made by myself participating in Advent of Code 2018 and coding with InterSystems ObjectScript in VSCode.
