Rewriting more exercises

Did you know that writing about exercises does not actually count as doing exercises? What a load of crap.

More exercises added to the directory!

There is a bunch of new and better content available in the exercise directory now. This directory will keep growing, both in terms of the resources we offer and the content available for each directory and this should give you a good sense of how this site will grow over the coming weeks.
