| Samenvatting: | Developing scripting skill requires constant practice and feedback. However, with universities nowadays having high student:staff ratios, there is very little scope for providing the necessary feedback. As a result coding courses have typically had a failure rate of over 35%. Solomon identified these problems. In response he developed the alpha version of Linuxgym, software which automates assessment and feedback of scripting skills. The use of this software has increased both the depth and breadth of coding skills learnt. In 2006 this project commenced for the purpose of redeveloping the Linuxgym software to be available to all educational institutions. The main goal was that work involved in installation, maintenance and exercise development would be minimal. [p[3], ed]
