Adds a new lesson Strings in the basics section

[aromeronavia]

@doomspork @pjhampton What do you think guys?

I didn't go full in-depth tho, but I think the content is enough to understand better Strings in Elixir 👍

[pjhampton]

String manipulation is one of our must to have skills nowadays~~, ignoring the programming language~~. That's why we are including an in-depth on Strings.

Most of the above doesn't fit into the typical overview of Elixir School. Consider finishing it off with something about codepoints and graphemes.

Hi @setzer777, thanks for taking the initiative on this! This is going to be great. There's a couple pieces of feedback to look through and we should be good.

Two general pieces of feedback for new lessons:

• Familiarize yourself with the Lesson Styleguide
• Try (as best possible) to mimic the format and tone of the other lessons. Even though we have multiple authors we are trying to maintain a consistent voice throughout.

@doomspork @pjhampton Now that I know there's a Lesson Styleguide I'll not make the same mistakes again c: haha and thanks a lot for taking the time to give me some feedback! I'll make the corrections at the end of the day c:

[doomspork]

No worries @setzer777, we really appreciate the help! 😀

[pjhampton]

@setzer777 yeah definitely man. It's your first lesson.. it's always the hardest!! 😄

[aromeronavia]

Oh my god guys, I've been super busy D: hopefully tonight I'll correct this... So sorry 😢

[doomspork]

No worries @setzer777! 😀

[aromeronavia]

Finally I had the time to make the corrections :) haha
@doomspork about your comment about H3 looking bigger than H1, I put an H5 to the string functions, and it looks prettier :)

I think that's it guys, give it a quick check again and if it's ready, let's merge! 👍
I will be more involved in a month, I'm on finals in my school x_x haha thanks a lot

[doomspork]

For consistency's sake, let's use duplicate/2 here.

[aromeronavia]

@pjhampton I already made the corrections. FFS, I can't believe those last ones went out of my watch hahaha. Thanks a lot for the last review, hopefully it's the last last xD

[doomspork]

@setzer777 / @pjhampton — What about just "Strings" and adding this to the Basics section instead of Advanced?

[aromeronavia]

I agree.

[doomspork]

Great! @setzer777 let's add this as the last lesson in the Basics and rename it to "Strings", then I think it's good to go 👍

[Koziolek]

Is it change order of lessons, isn't it?

[doomspork]

Hi @setzer777, I've been traveling a lot lately. Apologizes for the delays in looking this over and merging. I will make it a priority for later this week when I am home.

@Koziolek we're going to append this lesson to the end the Basic Lessons, it shouldn't require a re-ordering.

[pjhampton]

Let's ship this. It looks good to me, except some edges which will be worked out over time.

Super thank @setzer777 ~ you've done a great job!

[doomspork]

Thanks @setzer777 (and @pjhampton)! Sorry for the delays, been quite busy all of a sudden.

I'm anxious to see how people respond to the exercises.
