Try JavaScript

This is a port of Try Ruby (tryruby.sophrinix.com/), originally created by Why the Lucky Stiff, to JavaScript.

Try Ruby is the perfect tool to for getting started learning Ruby.

I hope this will be a great tool to help people get started learning JavaScript!

INCOMPLETE!

This is incomplete! It’s a work in progress. Before accepting any contributions, I would like to fork Try Ruby and tweak it to support different languages, as well as build in a Selenium test suite. Afterwards, I’d like to run Try Javascript on that system, so bug fixes for Try Ruby will affect Try Javascript, and vice versa.

Try Ruby

Now that _why has disappeared, the current code for TryRuby is hosted by Andrew McElroy at github.com/sophrinix/TryRuby and the live site can be found at tryruby.sophrinix.com/

As it is right now, the Try JavaScript code base has been created by copy/pasting a few of the files from Try Ruby.

In the near future, I plan on forking TryRuby and tweaking it so it can handle different sets of tutorials / different languages.

It would be awesome if people could use Try Ruby as a framework to create different sites like … Try Python … or Try PHP … Try Erlang.

Really, anything that can be sandboxes and can be interactively interpreted :)
