Open Source Ruby Education Software

**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!

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.

This is a modified version of the CRC algorithms by Lammert Bies. It supports more algorithms and has been ported to several languages. It's also useful for learning how to do hexadecimal calculations and bitwise operations in various programming languages. Disclaimer: These test programs demonstrate the calculation of CRC. I made these translation with a basic knowledge of each language. They may or may not be appropriately formatted / secured / robustified / idiot proofed or any similar programming issues.

This project will produce one or more tutorial documents covering object-oriented concepts for people who want to learn the Ruby programming language. The initial rubyboot document is based on the perlboot man page, from the standard Perl distribution.

CiteULike is a free service to help academics share, store, and organise the papers they're reading. This open source project contains the code to scrape citations from publishers' web sites.

Dictionnaire is an open-source French-English dictionary intended to cover modern phraseology as well as entries that are difficult to translate using traditional dictionaries.

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!

Jakka is a content management system for the mobile platform. Jakka will allow websites to host video content, photos and other attachments sent from mobile devices by MMS. Jakka is an application for sharing mobile platform content online.

The Kid-Safe system is designed to be installed on PCLinuxOS. The project's primary goal is the Kid-Safe LiveCD, which is built using this package. The system includes KDE Kiosk Restrictions, Internet Filtering, Games and More. Designed for all ages.
