The inspiration for this book is the many ''programming chrestomathies'' on the World-Wide Web. In natural language, a chrestomathy is a set of literary passages explicitly selected for the purpose of helping learn a language. A programming chrestomathy is a set of problems for which solutions are represented in various programming languages with the aim of allowing programmers to compare language capabilities and programming techniques. The inspiration for this book is the many ''program chrestomathies'' on the World-Wide Web. In natural language, a chrestomathy is a set of literary passages explicitly selected for the purpose of helping learn a language. A program chrestomathy is a set of problems for which solutions are represented in various programming languages with the aim of allowing programmers to compare language capabilities and programming techniques.
Programming chrestomathies vary widely.

There are several "Hello world!" chrestomathies. Other sites host multiple programming problems, all with solutions in many languages.

Eiffel has a presence on many of these sites. Still, the more examples, the better. Eiffel has a presence on many of these sites. Still, the more examples, the better.
The purpose of the examples in this book, then, is two-fold. First, we get a set of Eiffel examples in the Eiffel online documentation with solutions to a different set of problems than the examples distributed with EiffelStudio. Second, examples from this set can be migrated to Rosetta Code or one of the other chrestomathies to improve Eiffel's presence on those sites. (The caveat to contributors is clear: '''Contribute only work that you have to authority to release, and only if you are willing to have your work shared on one or more of the programming chrestomathies.'''

Sites like Rosetta Code and [http://en.literateprograms.org/LiteratePrograms:Welcome Literate Programs] offer a wide variety of programming problems or tasks for comparison of languages and techniques. This book will be organized around certain of these problems. So each child page to this page will have a number of children, which of which represents a programming problem ... each solution will occupy a child page to its problem page. Sites like Rosetta Code and [http://en.literateprograms.org/LiteratePrograms:Welcome Literate Programs] offer a wide variety of programming problems or tasks for comparison of languages and techniques. Rosetta Code provides an index to the [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Reports:Tasks_not_implemented_in_Eiffel tasks not yet implemented in Eiffel].
This book should include, but not be limited to, certain of the problems used as challenges by program chrestomathies.
Each child page of this main page will support a list of children, each which represents a single programming problem. Individual solutions reside in pages which are children of their problem page.
