In case you don’t spot the discretely marked-in-yellow parts of the image, that’s 500 quizzes I’ve produced since I started to write quizzes for “The PL/SQL Challenge”, which was the original name of the Oracle Dev Gym. Half a Thousand Quizzes….!

Writing Dev Gym quizzes has been an awesome and fun way for me to teach SQL (and some PL/SQL as well). I’ve written quizzes both at beginner level and at the very-advanced level for championships and everything in between, so everybody can learn from these.

Thanks to Steven Feuerstein for the initial idea – this is a great learning platform. And even quiz authors learn – it’s quite often I learn new quirks and/or features while writing a quiz, both simply by browsing the docs for a new topic to write about, as well as (in fact more often) stumbling over something unknown to me while I try and create incorrect choices (it is often harder to write convincing incorrect choices than it is to write correct choices.)
