This is the user guide for the Rubber Duck Code Challenge project.

The basic idea behind the Rubber Duck Code Challenge project was to make learning more fun. The project provides a basic game where players compete to gain points for learning activities. Whenever you do a learning activity, just record it in the app and you'll get points.

Learning Activities include the following:

  • Read Article
  • Wrote Blog Post
  • Listened to Podcast
  • Watched Video
  • Attended Lecture
  • Built Hello World App
  • Resolved Production Issue
  • Attended Meetup

High Scores

Every Friday, the admin tallies the scores and then the winners are saved. This is done both in a Slack Message as well as part of the high scores page in the application. If you check out the Slack Channel high-scores you'll see the output.

Activities

  • The activities remain in the system, so we can all refer back to them in the future.
  • Before final scores are tallied, you can delete activities you create.
  • Once the scores are tallied, all activities recorded before that date are locked.

Check out some of the basic guides here on how to get started (its very intuitive as well).

Hope you enjoy the Rubber Duck Code Challenge!
