My learning list

Inspired by seeing something similar in some other blogs and newsletters I thought I’d add a live list of the stuff I’m learning about currently: eg: clever websites, tools and books!

It’s updated as I go.

Currently

  • [ ] Residuality Theory :
  • how to architect; why is architecture so ad hoc?
  • Complexity theory
  • [ ] the book: Residues: Time, Change, and Uncertainty in Software Architecture
  • [ ] Speed Up Your Python with Rust :
  • Really enjoying the brisk pace
  • Love the step-by-step hands-on grounding in making pip packages and how installing works
  • Need a diagram to track the entry points and exits of the Rust code to Python; all a bit confused rn!
  • Have to learn Rust properly however
  • [ ] deploy onto raspberry pi: The project I have in mind (music stuff!) will run on a Pi; this gets it there. I hope!
  • [ ] Making Sounds
  • There’s a whole world of music processing tech! One of those niche’s that progress along on their own slightly obscured from outsiders: with their own leaders, vocab, common knowledge… Unless you dive in and make sense of it all!
  • [ ] Pure data : impressive and Fun. but so quirky!
  • [ ] Pure data book : Step-by-step; bit slow, but it’s thorough
  • [x] The Theory and Technique of Electronic Music Book pdf - Miller Puckette: PD creator; starts simple, dives deep. Abandoned for now.
  • [ ] SuperCollider : PD alternative
  • Rust. Low latency / triggers / Midi even? Not sure, but it’s building blocks
  • [ ] Rust Audio :

  • [ ] Simpy : Python simulation framework; fun. Want to make a game, with the engine built around a sim.py simulation. Need a topic!

  • Kafka Streams
  • [ ] Kafka Streams in Action :
    • Not started
  • [ ] Mastering Kafka Streams
    • started; nice introduction, good pace; lots in it
    • Going to want to dive into the famous ‘data intensive applications’ book by Klepperman again. (New edition incoming!)

Gawd, there’s a lot on my mind.
