Awesome John - love it since week 1. especially I love the real world challenges.

Awesome was redis server. I spent a lot more time to come up with a pluggbsle command library and test cases.

But also load balancer I enjoyed very much. It looks easy to build a reliable simple load balancer. But when you implement it you see the tiny details.

The little Linux tools are a good start for everybody to learn a new language. I would not prefer to start with real world challenges if you learn a new language.

Thx Lolo

I share weekly Coding Challenge aimed at helping software engineers level up their skills through deliberate practice.

These are challenges that I’ve used or am using as exercises to learn a new programming language - Rust most recently - or technology.

Each challenge involves writing a full application or tool. Most of which are based on real world tools and utilities.

The challenges are picked to be small enough to completed in a week or two and yet large enough to be complete working projects.

I'd love your feedback on the challenges!

Thanks for sharing John!

I particularly liked the Challenge: Building A Redis Server. It gives a really good high-level understanding of how Redis is operating. Good job!

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback!
I love the real world projects!
Great to hear!
