**Unfortunately, the Bridge Contest is no longer operational. We hope the code base will be of use to others with similar projects in mind.** A national virtual bridge engineering contest with prizes for middle and high school kids, grades 6 to 12, but anyone can enter for fun. Based on the award-wining Bridge Designer client software, now open source through this project. Web site infrastructure supports worldwide participation in qualifying and semifinal rounds with a tiny administrative staff. The new Rails back end is a RubyMine project. Thanks to JetBrains for this mega development environment!

Our intuitive design contains features (Immediate detailed results, Create/Export/Import/Convert Questions, WYSIWYG/Math-Chemistry/Basic Editors, Question/Item Bank, Multiple Question Types, Multiple Delivery Styles, Multiple Delivery/Results Options, Adaptive/Branching Questions, Randomly Chosen Questions, Print a QST, Auto Marking, Display explanations for questions, easily administer users, etc.) that rival or surpass those found in commercial online examination/testing systems. GradeBook allows you to view/mark/save users quizzes/tests and view/download detailed statistics for each quiz/survey/test and questions in them. Also allows entering marks for other assignments and adding weights(%) to them and QST's for a Complete Assessment Solution. Thanks summernote.org and mathjax.org.

xoscope is a digital oscilloscope using input from a sound card or EsounD and/or a ProbeScope/osziFOX and will soon support Bitscope hardware. Includes 8 signal displays, variable time scale, math, memory, measurements, and file save/load.

Git-it is a desktop (Mac, Windows and Linux) app that teaches you how to use Git and GitHub on the command line. This application contains challenges for learning Git and GitHub, by using real Git and GitHub, not emulators. You'll be learning the awesome (and not so scary) command line and GitHub which means when you finish all of the challenges you'll have real repositories on your GitHub account and green squares on your contribution chart. You will need this app, Git-it as well as a text editor. You'll also of course need Git and the first challenge in Git-it helps you get that set up. But if you want to get a head start, go for it! You'll continue to use Git and your text editor throughout your bright social coding future. We recommend installing GitHub Desktop (free) because it installs Git in the most consistent way across supported operating systems (Windows and Mac).

The DkIT Bridge Designer will provide you with a realistic introduction to engineering through an authentic, hands-on design experience. This software provides you with the tools to model, test, and optimize a steel highway bridge, based on realistic specifications, constraints, and performance criteria. Supported by Dundalk Insititute of Technology and All-Island Funds, this is a virtual bridge designer that allows kids of all ages learn about engineering and compete with their classmates!

sicp-pdf is a LaTeX-based PDF version of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP), the classic textbook by Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman, and Julie Sussman. It builds upon the earlier Unofficial Texinfo Format (UTF), which itself was derived from the MIT Press HTML version, but enhances the project by fully converting the source into LaTeX. This conversion allows for high-quality typesetting, improved design options, and the integration of OpenType and Unicode features through XeTeX. The repository contains both Texinfo and LaTeX sources, with automated scripts to keep them in sync during builds. Users can recompile the book locally with a recent TeX Live distribution and the necessary fonts, while Inkscape is required for SVG-to-PDF image conversions. The project is continuously refined to address formatting issues and ensure the text and figures render correctly across platforms.

Web-CAT is a plug-in based web application for automatically grading programming assignments in many programming languages. This project also provides Eclipse plugins for electronic submission and feedback services directly from the Eclipse IDE. We now use github for source code control (https://github.com/web-cat), although all file releases are still provided here through SourceForge. The CVS repository here is for archival purposes only.

This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make a Library Management System live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages. If you are new to Virtual Machines, then please watch the Video below ( taken from my other project. just replace td with koha wherever mentioned ) After starting this VM, please access these websites ( Just Accept Any Warnings ) : Public Website Address: https://koha.local Staff Website Address: https://koha.local:4430 Staff Username: staff Staff Password: change_this from any PC on your Local Network. For better performance, Increase the CPU Count & Memory in the VM's Settings, as available on the physical machine. Also, read the koha guidelines, given on the Wiki Page of this site, for choosing the right hardware resources. Backup the system regularly, to avoid any issues, as in the video. Google Search helps in finding more about Koha.
