Do you want to see the previous quizzes you've answered? Go to My Locker (click on your gym name in upper right), then choose Answered or Ranked quizzes). We will make this more visible soon. We do not yet have a library feature in which you can simply explore quizzes you have NOT taken. I am not sure we will do that. What do you think?Steven Feuersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405765731886460622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849367040589270673.post-12521160337053716422016-07-15T22:29:43.355-07:002016-07-15T22:29:43.355-07:00Superb Interface !

Things like "Looking For Bigger Oracle Muscles?" seem aimed more at 12 year olds than professional developers.<br /><br />Any thoughts on this? Do you think we should "play it straight" - call it the Dev Gym, but not really have any gym references on the site? Or should we "play it up" and make it more "gym-like"?Steven Feuersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405765731886460622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849367040589270673.post-61522864838633838332016-07-01T04:37:00.076-07:002016-07-01T04:37:00.076-07:00Thanks for the reminder, Fahd.

I think that at least in some cases, this occurs because the Dev Gym pages sometimes have just a single input text field (the rest of the page being cards and buttons you click on). And then unfortunately, in this case the browser automatically puts the cursor into the field and makes it the current focus.Steven Feuersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405765731886460622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849367040589270673.post-47180532938368389072016-06-29T10:53:16.581-07:002016-06-29T10:53:16.581-07:00Duong, you certainly can do this, if I understand ...Duong, you certainly can do this, if I understand your question correctly. I will do a video on this soon, but in the meantime:<br /><br />1. Click on Exercise on the home page.<br />2. Select a technology, such as PL/SQL.<br />3. Click on Take a Quiz.<br />4. You can then drill down to more specific topics.<br /><br />Please let me know if this is not what you were looking for.Steven Feuersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405765731886460622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849367040589270673.post-14176897034744413122016-06-29T10:51:34.323-07:002016-06-29T10:51:34.323-07:00This idea was submitted from the site: "For Y...This idea was submitted from the site: "For Yes/No Answers it would be good to differentiate between activly choosing the "No" option and not answering the question. Currently everything that is no choosen counts as No. That is ok. But the user wants to see where he/she already did think about the answer and set it to NO. This is currently not possible. This would help especially if sometime one forgets to click on an answer."<br /><br />I wonder if anyone has an opinion about this.

One question: it seems I can't choose technology features like on the old site, e.g: I sometimes want to answer a question related to a particular topic, such as: conditions on SQL quiz. On the new site, I just got directly right into the question :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244987659065421253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849367040589270673.post-29584656642358769482016-06-28T11:04:24.320-07:002016-06-28T11:04:24.320-07:00The page I definitely remember is registration one...The page I definitely remember is registration one. Can't reproduce it now on the other pages. It seems, problem appeared in cases when i had textfield and some other kind of controls. Despite I used any other controls focus was always returned to the last used text field.
