## Hey there! I'm Amr!

### 📖 Library

- **Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces (OSTEP)**

  - I am currently reading it with [Akshat's book club](https://notes.akjn.dev/notes/ostep/) but I have fallen behind after reading the first part of the book due to my internship at Activepieces and university. I a currently reading in the third partof the book which is about filesystems.

- **Database Design & Implemenation**

  - I was reading it with some of the database industry experts in the [Software Internals book club](https://eatonphil.com/2024-database-design-and-implementation.html). Also, I am implementing tasks in [SimpleDB](https://github.com/amrelmohamady/simpledb) educational database in Java. I have fallen behind after more than half of the book. I tried to continue reading with the [Database Internals book club](https://discord.gg/tuWRBUyt) but, the book is really not good. Chapters ordering is stupid. Old information. Weird selection of topics. The only good thing about it is that it shows code while explaining concepts.

- **Learning Go**

  - I was learning Go from this book. IMHO, It's not a good learning resource but, it's a very good refeence.

- **Database Internals: A Deep Dive into How Distributed Data Systems Work**

  - The first half of the book explores storage classification, and dive into B-Tree-based and immutable Log Structured storage engines. It explains how database files are organized to build efficient storage, using auxiliary data structures such as Page Cache, Buffer Pool and Write-Ahead Log. The book covers implementations of different techniques and optimizations used in real database systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL & Apache Cassandra. I only read the first half since the second half explores distributed databases which I will read after studying distributed systems. I read it with a private book club consisting of expert software engineers and architects. We grouped together every week over a zoom call to discuss book chapters. I loved reading it.

- **Fundamentals of Database Systems**

  - I used this database textbook to study relational database theory while studying the Datbase Modeling & Theory course from Stanford University.

- **Node.js Design Patterns**

  - A Node.js book about design patterns, writing modules, asynchronous programming, Scalability, Architectural Patterns &     Advanced Node.js topics. I read ths book when I was starting out my backend development learning journey. IMO, this is the goto source to learn Node.js and gain practical knowledge.

- **System Design Interview**

  - A book about system design in which the writers show a process of designing many systems at large scale. This introduced me to the bigger perspective about how large-scale systems are built. I actually used some of the concepts and architectural decisions mentioned in the book in my first backend internship at Glitchfix.
