Once you register at adventofcode.com, Each day, you will be\npresented with a problem to solve and some sample data to use for\nverification that your program works. You can choose to use any\nprogramming language or application you desire produce the answer. Last\nyear, I used this to brush up on my Python skills. Others use Visual\nBasic, C (and all its variants), Rust, Go, etc. I have seen people use\nCobol, Fortran, and Pascal, or even Microsoft Excel. It is really up to\nyou. You are then presented a dataset which is unique to your login, and\nagainst which you run your code. When complete, you submit the answer\ncame up with on the adventofcode.com web site and they will tell you if\nyou are correct or not.</p>\n<p>If you are competitive (And REALLY GOOD) there is a Global\nLeaderboard. If you want to compete with a group of friends, you can\nbuild your own leaderboard and invite others to take part with you.</p>\n<p>There are tons of resources online, from youtube channels to reddit\n(<a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/</a>), to Discord (<a\nhref=\"https://discord.gg/tXJh262\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://discord.gg/tXJh262</a>)</p>\n<p>So, if you are looking for a way to challenge your mind and detach\nfrom holiday stress, Advent of Code may be something you might try.</p>\n<p>If this is not your cup of tea, I will be sharing several other\noptions for holiday challenges in future episodes.</p>\n',394,0,0,'CC-BY-SA','Advent of Code, holiday, challenge',0,0,0);

I\nencourage you to go review his episodes.</p>\n<p>But the TLDR (Or maybe the TLDL -- Too Long Didn\'t Listen?) for\nAdvent of Code is that it is a 25 day challenge which begins on December\n1. Once you register at adventofcode.com, Each day, you will be\npresented with a problem to solve and some sample data to use for\nverification that your program works. You can choose to use any\nprogramming language or application you desire produce the answer. Last\nyear, I used this to brush up on my Python skills. Others use Visual\nBasic, C (and all its variants), Rust, Go, etc. I have seen people use\nCobol, Fortran, and Pascal, or even Microsoft Excel. It is really up to\nyou. You are then presented a dataset which is unique to your login, and\nagainst which you run your code. When complete, you submit the answer\ncame up with on the adventofcode.com web site and they will tell you if\nyou are correct or not.</p>\n<p>If you are competitive (And REALLY GOOD) there is a Global\nLeaderboard. If you want to compete with a group of friends, you can\nbuild your own leaderboard and invite others to take part with you.</p>\n<p>There are tons of resources online, from youtube channels to reddit\n(<a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/</a>), to Discord (<a\nhref=\"https://discord.gg/tXJh262\"\nclass=\"uri\">https://discord.gg/tXJh262</a>)</p>\n<p>So, if you are looking for a way to challenge your mind and detach\nfrom holiday stress, Advent of Code may be something you might try.</p>\n<p>If this is not your cup of tea, I will be sharing several other\noptions for holiday challenges in future episodes.</p>\n',394,0,0,'CC-BY-SA','Advent of Code, holiday, challenge',0,0,0);
