Awesome Rust

I learn Rust by reading The Rust Programming Language (aka. TRPL) book.

This is my ~~mind map and~~ collection of resources for learning Rust in early 2019.

I plan to continuously update this list if time allows in future. I will move this into its own GitHub repo or something more permanent when this grow.

IMPORTANT

See the following links for further updates to Github Desktop for Ubuntu. These are official instructions. (also mentioned by fetwar on Nov 3, 2023)

For the sake of "maintaining the tradition" here is the updated version.

Release Notes Template

Based off https://palantir.quip.com/pzRwAVr1bpzf

Pro-tip: look through the github diff between the previous release to see what's changed. The commit titles should give an outline of what's happened.

Upgrade Steps

List out, as concretely as possible, any steps users have to take when they upgrade beyond just dumping the dependency.
Write pseudocode that highlights what code should change and how.

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

JavaScript Crypto Libraries

List some crypto libraries for JavaScript out there. Might be a bit out dated. Scroll to the bottom.

WebCryptoAPI

http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/

This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.

	This script uses Github's API V3 with Basic Authentication to export issues from
	a repository. The script saves a json file with all of the information from the
	API for issues, comments, and events (on the issues), downloads all of the
	images attached to issues, and generates a markdown file that can be rendered
	into a basic HTML page crudely mimicking Github's issue page. If the gfm module
	is available, the script will go ahead and render it itself.

	In the end, you'll be left with a folder containing a raw .json file (which you
	can use to extract information for your needs, or to import it somewhere else),
