Guide to generate a Quiz

Intro

In this repo the raw quiz data for the vogella Quiz App ist maintained.

Each quiz is assigned to a course category id. The server then assigns a quiz to a course according to the category id and sorts the quizzes according to the course structure.

The name of the yaml file will not be used for the assignment of a quiz to a course or the ordering of the quizzes in a course. Nevertheless for maintenance reasons a prefix of the underlying course should be set upfront. e.g.:

• rcp_ for the Rich Client Platform course
• flutter_ for the Flutter course
• plugin_ for the Eclipse IDE extensions course

The following will give an introduction on how to create a quiz for a category in a course.

Header
