What does HackerNews think of talent-plan?

open source training courses about distributed database and distributed systems

Language: Rust

#76 in Go
#20 in React
#113 in Rust
Awesome stuff!

Just to share more in a course I know in the same area: open source training courses about distributed database and distributed systems by PingCap.

I'm learning Rust as well; in my opinion, starting with small guided projects is the most stimulating and incremental approach, although unfortunately, I find that starting practicing Rust - differently from other languages - requires "having read the whole reference".

The resources I've reviewed are:

- Rustlings: I personally don't like the project; it's exercises for the sake of exercising, which may be good or not, depending on the person/approach.

- Ferrous systems exercises (set of mini projects): very small and simple, but interesting to work on. I think they're a very good resource to try immediately after reading the book.

- Rust Programming By Example (book): if one finds one or more projects interesting to work on, this is a very fun book. it's "not-perfectly-produced" though, if you know what I mean.

- Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms in Rust (udemy): even if one doesn't like algorithms, I think working with data structures implicity develops an understanding of "getting the head into Rust".

- Build your own Jira with Rust (https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/build-your-own-jira-with-r...): An exercise-based approach to practice; probably a good alternative to the previous resource, for those who really don't want to work with A./D.S..

- Talent Plan (https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan): like the previous, but more technical.

Have fun :-)
