Out of College Learning

This is a repository specifically to Udemy, Books and other quiz questions (LeetCode) I have done outside my college career. Everything here will reflect current courses I am taking while doing outside of work projects.

What does Pass mean?

Generally pass means I have not gotten to that section yet. I usually update as I go, but sometimes ill do a few sections and then update it the next morning. Also some courses sections are much longer. So sections from one course might be 2 hours a section, while others are 30 minutes.

Courses I am taking next:

• Linux Security and Hardening. The practical security guide
• Complete C# Unity Game Developer 3D
• Deep Learning A-Z: Hands-On Artifical Neural Networks
• Java Programming Masterclass for Software Developers
• Learn Crypography Basics in Python and Java
• Learn Hibernate and Spring for Beguinners (includes Spring Boot)

Books I am reading:

• Clean Code
• The Art of Programming
• SQL: Thinking in sets

Overview

I bought this course to help refresh/harden my knowldege on C++. Most of my College degree has had some sort of C++ in the class, but I found that I wasn't perfect when it came to discussing even jsut the basics. I knew how to program in C++ and do even data structures in C++ but some of the basics I missed or I felt I didn't know it as well as I wanted. I prett much flew through this course but it was helpful in refreshing my knowledge.

Udemy Build a Backend REST API with Python & Django - Beginner

Instructor: Mark Winterbottom

Overview

This course goes in-depth about creating your own REST API. This is very useful because its the backend of the modern web. A REST API is basically predetermined calls wether it be raw SQL or a ORM, that allows a end client to be rapidly developed. The backend architecutre also stays a little bit cleaner, but the biggest selling point for a REST API is definetely the ease of use for communication.

Languages

Python

Framework

Django Rest Framework

Section

1. Section 1: Creating a Django app
   • Just basically commands to create the Django app.
2. Section 2: Setup the Database
   • Starts getting into setting up the models that are going to be used later.
3. Section 3: Setup Django Admin
   • This sections allows us to hooks up our models to the admin so we can easily add or remove data instead of utuilizing a database manager.
4. Section 4: Introduction to API Views
   • This gets into URLs and how those connect to a given view. Those views then allow us to do whatever we need with the data.
5. Section 5: Introduction to Viewsets
   • A viewset is similar to a view but much simpler in execution and has arguably less customization, but trade that with even greater ease of use.

Udemy gRPC [Node JS] Masterclass: Build Modern API & Microservices

Instructor: Stephane Maarek

Overview

This course goes over the a new modern api microservice architecutre called gRPC. The course goes indepth into gRPC and implementing it in Node JS. Personally I love the simplicity of gRPC, and for me its more logical to implement this then a ORM with a REST API, or even just a REST API. I can easily see this become the future just becuase of its simplicity and ease of configuration.

Languages

Javascript, Python

gRPC

Section

1. Section 1: [Theory] gRPC Internals Deep Dive
   • This goes over the theory behind gRPC and all the different interactions at our diposal.
2. Section 2: [Hands-On] gRPC Project Overview and Setup
   • Section 2 setups a dummy project for us to build off of.
3. Section 3: [Hands-On] gRPC Unary
   • This section talks about sending single posts back and forth, instead of a stream of information.
4. Section 4: [Optional] Stastically & Dynamically Code Generation
   • Allows us to build the source code on the fly. Not the best for speed but is good for faster developement.
5. Section 5: [Hands-On] gRPC Server Streaming
   • gRPC streaming revolves around the idea of a server sending bigger or alot of data to the client, while the client still sends smaller packets.
6. Section 6: [Hands-On] gRPC Client Streaming
   • gRPC Client streaming is similar to Server streaming but the user is send a lot of data to a server. Ths would be best utilized in a scenario were you have a bunch of nodes on a network that need to communicate with a single server, and there server is just taking in the data, and maybe send smaller instrcutions to each node.
7. Section 7: [Hands-On] gRPC Bi-Directional Streaming
   • This section gets into bi-directional and this is best for game servers or any application where both the node and server are trading off tons of data. Maybe machine leraning datasets, and data being streamed to the node to be processed and sent back or even cloud applications, where a user might upload or download a file.
8. Section 8: [Hands-On] gRPC Additional Features Deep Dive
   • This section goes in depth on the topics of deadlines, errors and SSL encryption.
9. Section 9: [Hands-On] gRPC CRUD API with Postgres
   • Pass

Homework

1. Assignment 1: Unary Sum API
   • This was just a simple api where I add 2 numbers together that are passed to the server.
2. Assignment 2: Server Streaming Prime Number Decompisition API
   • Pass
3. Assignment 2: Client Streaming Compute Average
   • Pass
4. Assignment 2: Bi Directional Streaming Find Maximum
