# Practice



 How I am learning about [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/), [Go](https://go.dev/), [Java](https://dev.java/)

, and [Scala](https://www.scala-lang.org/) (and other things)

# Repositories



Writing and running code is a great way to learn about a language or topic. Below are some projects that I've created to learn about various things.



I typically setup a project as a git repository that is hosted on GitHub. I like to use [JetBrains](https://www.jetbrains.com/all/) IDEs.



## Rust

 

[I am trying to learn Rust](https://www.wcygan.io/post/learning-rust-in-2023/) better.

Here are some projects that I've created to learn about Rust:



### Network Programming

- [Crawler](https://github.com/wcygan/crawler) - Web Crawler

- [Chat](https://github.com/wcygan/chat) - TCP Chat Server

- [Yeet](https://github.com/wcygan/yeet) - UDP Chat Server

- [Dns](https://github.com/wcygan/dns) - DNS Server

- [Load-Generator](https://github.com/wcygan/load-generator) - Load Generator for Load Testing



### Asynchronous Programming



- [Tokio-Utils](https://github.com/wcygan/tokio-utils) - Utilities for Tokio

  - [Tub](https://github.com/wcygan/tub) - async pool

  - [Shutdown-Async](https://github.com/wcygan/shutdown-async) - gracefully shutdown async tasks

  - [Async-Throttle](https://github.com/wcygan/async-throttle) - async rate limiting

  - [Async-Stdin](https://github.com/wcygan/async-stdin) - read from stdin asynchronously

  

### Miscellaneous



- [lib-wc](https://github.com/wcygan/lib-wc) - playground for learning Rust



## Go



[go-practice](https://github.com/wcygan/go-practice)



## Java



[java-practice](https://github.com/wcygan/java-practice)



Before I got into Rust, I liked Java for a little bit. This repository contains some remnants of that.



## Scala



[scala-practice](https://github.com/wcygan/scala-practice)



# References



Here are books that I've found useful. I've read through most of them & highlight the ones which have been most impactful to me.



I recommend [teachyourselfcs.com](https://teachyourselfcs.com/) if you are struggling to find a way to learn a certain topic in Computer Science.



[O'Reilly](https://www.oreilly.com/) and [Manning](https://www.manning.com/) are great resources to find books and projects!

## Obsidian



[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) acts as a powerful note taking app. It markets itself as:



>a powerful and extensible knowledge base

that works on top of your local folder of plain text files



I'd have to agree with that; it's pretty freaking good...



I use it as my own personal wiki & write notes on topics that I'm interested in.



You can see how other people set their vaults up by looking at ["Digital Gardens"](https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners).



### Obsidian + Git



Since Obsidian uses plain text files in a folder, you can naturally model your vault as a git repository. This allows you to treat your notes similar to code.
